Scale World Models 1/3 Super Cub Project

[Bartman]

Just in time for the cold weather moving into the Northeast!! Not just a build but a 'project' and as it goes we'll reveal what that 'project' is! It'll be a quick build and then we'll be on to the 'project' part of the 'project'! So here it is........

The biggest three letter word in aviation has got to be 'Cub' and today we start a giant of a Cub, The World Models 1/3 scale Super Cub.

Designed around the Zenoah GT-80 engine and with a wingspan of 141 in. (3580mm) it's a great looking plane that is ready for whatever you throw at it. We're using a 102cc BME-102 and plan to put it to work whenever possible but we'll get to that in a later video!!

Other details include;
Flaps!
5 channels, 8 servos required
Built up plywood and balsa construction
Pre-hinged control surfaces
Bright and shiny Toughlon covering
Complete hardware included
Fuel tank and pneumatic wheels included
Removable horizontal stabs

Thanks Mike!

Going to be a great plane. Too bad they didn't double bevel that flap to offer more options but other than that I've heard nothing bad about this plane. I've seen one fly with a DA engine pulling more G's than most aerobatic planes so they are built tough for sure!!

Looks great Bart. Will follow along intently.

Nice, I always wanted the 1/3 clipped version done up like Planebender's, Looking forward to the rest of the build

I have the 1/3 clipped on 3w106. Awesome plane

Get rid of all the hardware though. It's all Chinese junk and will strip and break. Otherwise they are built well

Ha! Sweet and I agree. They do smoke good too. Here's mine.

Awesome! Which hardware pieces are you talking about? I noticed the steel pushrods need a good coating of paint or something to avoid rusting. Anything else? What did you replace yours with?
