    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I'm pretty sure the Super Cub was my first online post so I didn't take a lot of photos. It's a BUSA so the build is different as well, here the stub ribs are being matched to the wing with Super Fill. And yes I have move than one stalled. Quite a bit of activity here at GSN lately, hopefully...

    No, the firewall is the barrier between the high pressure zone and the low pressure zone. The air entering the cowl is slightly higher pressure due to flow through the air (Velocity Pressure), the area behind the will be at lower pressure caused by the lip on the cowl. Air will flow across the...

    I plan to use the stabilize and self leveling function only so I will do a quick set and it will require one switch. The hover and knife edge functions will not be utilized. The final baffles are installed.

    That's some nice fixturing work there David. At what point is the chain saw employed? I couldn't remember how I did the Super Cub wings, looked through the build folder. Looks like I had the wings covered before hand. I will have to finish it someday!

    This is my first stabilized receiver, how did you set them up? With the radio or computer? Yes, but what are the options?

    Thank you Steven. Decided to put in 2 back braces to restore some rigidity to the firewall after cutting the hole for cooling and intake manifold clearance. Used 5/8" x 3/4" maple motor mount stock for the braces, these are screwed and epoxied in place on each side of the carburetor. Also laid...

    Made the trip to the Central Penn Aeromodelers Swap Meet yesterday. The event is held in Lebanon PA about 3 1/2 hours away. Of course it started snowing the night before and snowed the entire trip out. Roads were clear on the way home but winds were up to 50 mph. Found an old roll of Sky...

    I plan to make the rear edge of the a raised lip to create low pressure zone. Will also add a sloped plate where the hole is so it will look white from below. Made the cooling ducts for the cylinders today. The foam was band sawed out and covered with packing tape, will see how much trouble I...

    The firewall was drilled for 10-32 tee nuts. Need to cut a relief on the nosewheel bearing block since the bottom tee nuts interfere. Started working on the cooling ducts.

    Stood the fuselage on the tail to set the engine location. Made a disc on the lathe to help centering the engine. Once happy the spacers were tack glued to the firewall with thin CA. Had a hard time getting my big head above to look at the fit up.

    yes to both but to bond the tube to a former you wrap it with masking tape and then glue to the tape. The tubes are teflon so the action is super smooth.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    I would not use a 4-40 rod for the elevator linkage without having it inside a semi-close fitting tube. With that said I built a 30CC size Staggerwing ARF that came with 4-40 rods with tubes installed in the fuselage, came out tail heavy so I replaced the steel tube and tube with these carbon...

    The wing on the Champ has the same cord as the Cub, I used #0 screws. They appear to be much smaller than the ones in the photo you posted. The 00-90 would be the right size for the dash and other parts inside the cabin.

    Time to move onto the engine. Milled these spacers on 2 degree angle, drilled and put the radius on the end in the mill. Tomorrow will stand the plane on the tail and center the engine in the cowl and finish mounting. Plan to baffle the cylinders to the firewall and make a chamber behind...
