Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

New to GSN!
Radial in a Cub?


Yup. Look up the 'Lenape Papoose'. A 50hp 3 cylinder radial hanging onto the front of a J3. I have a Busa 1/4 scale cub in a box. I bought a twin 160 4 stroke boxer for it. But the Saito 33cc 3 cyl radial still stays in my head, sooo maybe that's what it will be. I still don't know until I'm really in the build.

The backside of this canvas is a problem as I have another fail. The canvas peeled off like Peel ply or something. I might consider getting a different fabric.1631230783147884251377.jpg

Stuck at the house for a couple of weeks, wife tested positive a few days before me so I'm now banished to the basement. Let's see, my own bathroom, kitchen, pool table, 2 big screens and my hobby room. :banana-dance:

Back on the Cub. Working on wing strut clamps. Cut, sand, drill and I decided to blue them. I can always paint them later.
