    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    Got the throttle and choke linkage complete, both are pull on, spring off. Repurposed the cooling duct from the Cherokee for this install. I sent a message off to Falcon Props asking about their 3" spinner and 25" CF prop, no rely yet. Swinging a 26 x10 on the Champ, I plan to use a 25X9 here.

    Steven, Finally put the tap guide to work. Works great! Thank you again. Purchased 12L14 3/16" carbon steel hex bar from McMaster Carr. The 12L14 material drills, turns, mills and taps like butter. Took a few hours but I like the results. There are about 10 operations in each piece and I...

    Scale 112” - Taylorcraft by HeyLuc & Snoopy.

    How did you get from the photo on post #82 to the laid up cowl? The shape looks different? Epoxy or polyester resin used? Wondering about the blue tint.

    More details. The tail wires are 3/32" SS TIG wire threaded for 2-56 threads, a short piece of 1/8 tube, and 2 2-56 nuts. A plain nut is inside the clevis and scale brass nut on the end of the tube in an attempt to simulate the first photo. I might order some hex stock to make bigger hex nuts...

    Completed the Poly Spray application for the time being. Decided to assemble the Cub and do a weight check. I hope to take it to our November Indiana Flyers Club meeting in November. Have the mains and tailwheel on. The tailwheel is a thing of beauty. It came from Cirrus that use to...

    Put two coats of Poly Brush on yesterday, reviewed the Stits manual before hand since it has been a long time since I used the system. The manual recommends spraying a coat in the morning and the second coat in the afternoon. Finished the first coat before lunch and second coat at 1600. The...

    72 F high tomorrow, have the fuselage set up to rotate for painting, and the other parts ready to lay out. Plan to spray in the back yard. If all goes well I'll put the silver on on Wednesday. The paint will have all winter to gas off. The wings had 13 years to gas off!

    Did you fit the windshield? That looks familiar? You may want to consider the BUSA windshield, it has great scale detail along the bottom where it meets the boot cowl. https://balsausa.com/collections/replacement-plastic-parts/products/1-3-piper-cub-windshield
