Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

[TonyHallo]

The door on the BUSA Super Cub is a solid sheet of balsa possibly 3/8" thick with 1/4" wide sticks glue around the outside perimeter to simulate built up structure.

Thanks Tony! Do you have a pic of the outside stringers?

 

[TonyHallo]

Not of the door but they are just 1/8" x 1/4" balsa like these. Just around the outside perimeter. Both sides are 3/8" thick sheet including the door with balsa sticks to simulate the tubing.

Ok, thanks Tony.

My Cub door build was similar

Hey Tony,
How are you locking the upper door in place? I used the rod system on the lower door like you did. Thanks

 

[TonyHallo]

There are two wood dowels glued into the bottom door that interlock

the upper window as it is closed.

 

[Stevendavis]

That's a nice easy way to do that! I was also thinking about magnets.

Got a lot of work done on the doors yesterday.

Added the return spring.
