    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    First and second rib infill tonight. I put some support under to give me an easy landing spot and I didn't have to worry about precise cutting.

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

    Planes maintenance today. 70+ degrees so why not. I make notes on flying day and many notes had built up so knocked a few of my list. I can use the same picture in the 'what beer did you drink today?' discussion section here. Mike knows what I mean.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    It's the ice that forms regularly under the snow that causes the most problems. Our 'Snowpocalpse' a few years ago was actually ice (2") under a dusting of snow.

    Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

    A great day of flying. Antonio de Souza offered to come and fly with me so game on. DA170 in the Sukhoi is on fire these days, might go bigger prop as the 3 blade prop rips easily. Swapped the 3W106 out on my Yak and installed a DA120, more prop ripping, I haven't used this engine in a...

    3DHS 75" EDGE 540 V2 Assembly Thread

    I'm going to fly my 107" Yak with a DA120 this weekend (removed my 3W106 with canisters). With mufflers but I'm not happy. I have canisters on everything, I hate mufflers. I would do anything I could to get a canister on that plane. Welcome to GSN.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Thinking that this wing lock idea will be fine for the front spar. I'll just leave the scale bracket unused inside the cabin. Drilled and countersunk before I cut the bevel. This is just pine wood, a trial piece. It looks like I need about a 2" bolt so this is on hold until McMaster Carr...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Gotta come up with a better idea. No way am I laying on my back to fit these up inside the cabin. Even if the cross braces weren't already in the way.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Anyway, I drilled out the spar and locking tubes for a 4-40 bolt then over drilled the spar slightly with 1/4" bit. I will cut the brass tube flush with wing skin and then I will have a pocket for easy field mounting.
