    Scale Need advice on trailing edge aileron & flap bow on BUSA 1/3 Super Cub

    I don't know if this is gonna work but this is the best I can do at posting a pic. Here is the mess I have made. In the shot of the aileron you can see the bow in it. As I have stated before I am blind in my left eye and have poor vision in the other and have only 25 to 30% of my vision left and...

    Scale Need advice on trailing edge aileron & flap bow on BUSA 1/3 Super Cub

    No that's something I know nothing about. If I did that it looks like I would have to do the flap like that too so they would match. The flap TE turned out OK.

    No the wood on the trailing edge ain't thick enough for that. Take a look at the pics tomorrow.

    Scale Need advice on trailing edge aileron & flap bow on BUSA 1/3 Super Cub

    I am finishing up a wing on this, my first GS build and although I had the aileron pinned down tight on a very flat table I still had some bow in the trailing edge when I unpinned it.. Is there an easy way to correct this before covering ? Thanks to all who respond even if I don't respond to...

    Scale Need advice on acceptable practices on splicing spars, etc.

    I am building my first giant scale model ( 1/3 scale Balsa Super Cub) and am seeking advice on splicing, reinforcing, etc. Sometimes I run across a situation such as splicing a false spar or something similar and the plans do not call for any reinforcing but I think it would make things stronger...

    Scale Need advice on Balsa 1/3 scale Super Cub build

    I have checked it out and it will help me tremendously but can you confirm that the aforementioned 2 1/4" spruce is glued to the spar on either side between the 2 metal straps? Remember, I am operating on about 25% of normal sight and blind in the other eye. Dave

    Does anyone out there that has built a Balsa 1/3 SC and took photos of the build help me with step 10 on the wing build concerning the placement of the 5/16" X 3/4" X 2 1/4" spruce piece that glues to the spar ? I am legally blind and just can't see the "B-B" section on the wing plans good...

    Bill Hempels Team Edge still operating ?

    I was gonna purchase one of his 40% Super Cubs but I got tired of waiting for a reply so I went and purchased a Balsa USA 1/3 scale SC. I have already started construction. I seriously doubt that he has any airplanes for sale because IMO he would be answering his emails. Good luck on hearing...

    Scale Scale flaps & ailerons for Balsa 1/3 Super Cub

    You do beautiful work. I have a sheet metal and machine shop here at the house and intend to add most of if not all the metal parts you have used. I can fab the brake rotors and probably the fuel caps on the lathe. I hate to pick your brain for so much info but do the fairings on top of the wing...

    Thank you so much for the pics. I am definitely going to go with the optional kit. Are you going to mount your servos as per the plans or are you putting them in the wings? I saw one gent who was lamenting the fact that he did not do that when he built his and I gather that it may be better to...

    Yes, I see now. Last night after I posted this message I used Duckduckgo.com to search and it gave me a link to the page you just sent. It's amazing sometimes how that search engine will give you info that Google wont. Do you know if the aileron kit uses any of the aileron material supplied in...
