Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

Nice job on the sheeting, like the staggered joints.

I bought the contest sheeting on a sale from National Balsa, I think it was 25 sheets for $99. Not bad considering they currently show 3" x 1/8" x 36" at $9.02 ea and the 48" long is $13.62! I would have loved to have 48" sheets!

Put the glass to the bottom of the right wing, might get the top on later today at which both wings will be at the same point in the build, got a shipping notice from Wicks so hopefully the new wing tube will be here in a few days. I need the wing tube in the fuselage so that the wing roots can be fitted to the fuselage. Back to work on the cowl.

When I built the previous Cherokee, the landing was made to provide clearance for a 25" propeller. The recommended propeller for the FG61 is 21"-23". 23" would the correct scale size. With this in mind I decided to cut a little over and inch out the RoboStruts. The wing tube seems to be stuck in Highland, IL! Was hoping to have the wings mounted by Monday for a Show n Tell at the Indiana Flers Club meeting, looks like only the wings will go.

FrSky offers a nice remote switch for their redundancy buss units, like most new offerings from FrSky you need to be on ETHOS to configure the devices. My X9D radio does everything I could possibly want so I'm still using OpenTX. For the Super Cub an Advanced Radio Reg-Switch with a wireless key FOB was installed, it works real nice. Decided one was needed for the Cherokee. The FOB and the receiver were purchased to provide remote off and on for the Cherokee. Push the A button then the B button within 2 seconds and it turns on, the C and D are used in the same manner to turn the radio off.

I have a couple of these I got used off of R C G but could never quite get one to work. I didn't try the other one, but I've ended up using the multi switch with the magnetic option instead. Let me know if you'd like them (or anyone else on here). I think they're like a $25ea but could send them both for less than that shipped (2FOBS + 2Remote Switches (one not working possibly?)). Just a thought!

GSN wont let me message you. but I was thinking $25 for both, shipping included. . . I'd like to double check shipping rates since I think we are 3,500 miles away from each other. Try and message your address or tele# to me.
