Scale BUSA Super Cub

That's gonna be one beautiful looking aircraft there, Tony.
btw, I just noticed your Craftsman air compressor in one of the pics. Have you had any trouble with it not reaching full pressure? Mine won't go past 50#, then won't restart for a long time after. I just ordered a new run capacitor. I hope that fixes it.

Been masking off the next color session. hopefully will put the color to it on Friday, going flying tomorrow. Was out yesterday and had about five flights, practicing the various maneuver's for the upcoming scale competition. The figure eight is a real tuff maneuver to fly. I got a lot of work to do!

Which event are you practicing for? The Nats, or the one in NY?

You probably need a new ring and sleeve

Thanks Tony. Just ordered the kit. If the new run capacitor I ordered doesn't fix it, I'll try the piston sleeve.

Well, that's right next door. I'll likely come over. Just hope I'm not asked to judge. I can be pretty stern. lol

Pease do, what part of Ohio do you hale from?
Is your compressor making a lot of noise when running? Is your motor capacitor start, capacitor run?

I'm in the Columbus area. I fly at Dineen Field, Westerville Model Aeronautics Assoc. No excessive noise from the compressor motor. Just the usual oil-less pump sound. Yes, the motor is cap start/cap run.

My compressor is 2 hp so I doubt it us capacitor run. It is noisy however, Are you flying in the contest on August 10? I just checked my calendar and already have plans on the 10th.

I haven’t decided yet on flying, but it’s likely I’ll be judging
