By the way by the time you are all done Acerc is going to make a claim on the cub.

Not even close to happening.

Great! I am going to install an Aura 8 in the Cub and finish the painting then install dummy engine exhaust.

Something tells me "I don't think so"

You lucky it does not have a four stroke on it.

Well.....Here it is all done with the exception of the scale exhaust. Currently looking for some 1/4" copper tube and fittings.

Must say the dummy engine really does look good.

Thanks Snoop's. I have an idea on why the plane has a not so good glide slope. Yes the 17 pound (wet) take off weight is not helping but this thing should still "float" like a Cub. The stits covering on the wing is painted nicely but the fabric has not been sealed. You can blow air right through it rather easily. I think air is "bleeding" through hindering "lift" under the wing. Going to see if I can find something to spray to seal up the bottom of the wing.

The only thing I can think off is Stits clear.

Picked up a can of the clear today. Going to spray a piece of the covering I removed from the bottom when I made the access panel. If it looks decent the portion (between ribs) of the bottom wing will get masked and sprayed.

A clipped wing Cub won't float like a full span Cub. Looks great though.
