    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    So the painted window post is not inline with the cabin side window posts? I'm trying to remember if there are some exterior longerons on the cabin side that would spread the cabin outward a bit or not. This would have allowed full scale access to the stab trim I think... but maybe that a PA-18

    Tony, You continue to impress me with your craftsmanship and resourcefulness. Marbles as locating pins... genius! Great job on the canopy thus far - looks top shelf to me!

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    E6000 is not bad stuff, but it does take forever to cure. It's hard to go wrong with contact cement. You should try Foam-TAC, it's a lot like Welders Glue (also a good choice) and both act like contact cement but dry more clear.

    Thanks! The falcon is from Ukraine through HQ composites, Flitz2 is from Lithuania , and the Auri is from Russia. They all do beautiful artwork on their models! Nikolai Gorban is back at production in his shop in Ukraine which is good to hear. I just so happen to run across the Flitzebogen...

    Got to fly a few gliders yesterday. Falcon, Flitz2, and the Auri. My buddy was flying the other Auri and Alpha. All of the gliders found lift, the flitz2 got to see 815’ AGL. Before I got worried and put some flaps in, nosed down, and spiraled back down. As it was going up around 500’ it climbed...

    What about a big Chipmunk with an inline twin? I'd think a big Mossie would be neat.

    Flew the Vista Grande! Flew pretty good! I’m not used to RES and after getting some input I changed some radio settings around and am considering a lighter motor up front with a fresh ESC with a HV BEC.

    Idea! Avatar Update

    Guess it's time for a new avatar to freshen things up a bit. This is the 89" Skywing Laser swinging a Silver Falcon prop with Mt. Bullard in the back drop sitting at 4,225 feet while I'm close to sea level.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Been tinkering away on the Tower Hobbies Vista Grande, made new wing joiners from phenolic that fit better, and replaced the steel control rods with gold-n-rod - shaved about 1oz doing all of that. It’s not a big deal when the glider is pretty cheap and trying new things out with what you got...
