    Scale Balsa USA 1/3 Scale Super Cub Kit " NIB "

    So, whittling away at the ol' girl. This weekend I did quite a few things to the fuselage. The first thing was to carve/sand down the front of the fuselage so the cowling fits properly. This is important because it gave me a chance to see if I was going to need any additional mounting blocks...

    SOLD! 100cc Aeroworks Yak 55M Airframe

    This is an Aeroworks 100cc Yak 55M airframe only. I purchased this in the summer in order to outfit but I ended up buying the exact same plane RTF. This has a tiny bit of damage that has been repaired inside and the cowling is blemished. It's ready to go though, and if you want to get into...

    Scale Balsa USA 1/3 Scale Super Cub Kit " NIB "

    I've been really pleased with this kit overall. I bought it used, so there was a few pieces of wood missing, but none of the critical sized pieces, stuff I could quickly buy up the road. I haven't had any real problems with the die-cut sheets or quality in any way. This is my first non ARF...

    A little update... I haven't worked on this bird in a while but fall is here along with crummy weather... perfect time to finish her up! Major construction is complete. My custom wing tubes fit perfectly and both wings align... I'll just need to secure the outer tubes once I've set the wing...

    Here are a few photos of putting on the cap strips over the wing ribs. I also glued the hard points for the servo horns, and began sanding down the wingtips.

    This week is very exciting for the super cub build! It's like Christmas! All my electronics, engine, landing gear, etc. have arrived or will arrive tomorrow! For the engine, I'm putting in an EME 70 twin, which will fit perfectly inside the cowling. I looked at several twins and this was...

    Scale Balsa USA 1/3 Scale Super Cub Kit " NIB "

    So, I had a little hiatus from the build. I started flying and practicing for IMAC, did alright up in Arkansas. I've had a flurry of buying and selling planes... and I also snuck in another build. I built an Airtronics Sapphire sailplane that I've had for a long time. I'm planning on...

    I didn't solder the elevator horn on. I'm going to use a 2 servo system below the horizontal stab, one on each side. I know the kit calls for single, but I'm going two on the elevator, and probably 2 on the rudder, or a JR 8711. I haven't decided yet.

    This is so great and also proof there's life after a crash! How did you get the correct measurements for the wings and stabs and control surfaces? Did you create plans?
