    3D My first Design. I Dubb it The ChubCub

    Yup I will be putting shear webs in it. I will be using 1/16". I tried to find some 1/32" to use not only for that but to sheet the wing with as well but was unsuccessful. That's good to know. I'm sure mine will fly fine. I think for me the fun part will be trying to fine tune my...

    3D My first Design. I Dubb it The ChubCub

    I will be working that way Terry. I had to start somewhere though. Already thinking of what I can design next though. It has been a really good feeling seeing something I drew up on paper come together and will be a really good feeling when it flys. Just might have to get me one of them new...

    Why do you love this hobby?

    It was instilled in me when I was around 8-9. One of my dads buddies would come over to our house just about every weekend to fly his model planes. It wasn't till I was about 14 that I got my first plane. Later I turned 16 and ended up selling everything I owned when I found out drag racing wit...

    3D My first Design. I Dubb it The ChubCub

    Thanks. Not sure how it will fly but I have high hopes for it. Looking at the picture you can see the elevator hanging all the way down and touching the box but it has even more movement than that. Not sure the exact amount yet as I havnet put hinges on it but I would beg to say its at least 45...

    3D My first Design. I Dubb it The ChubCub

    Got all of this done tonight. About 3/4 down with the wing and it's super light 1.249 oz where it's at right now. Hope to keep it under 2 oz but it will be close. I love seeing a framed up wing start to take shape . 16038=10863-image.jpg

    My wife says.....

    My wife is cool with my hobby though she reminds me all the time that 3 years ago when I got back into rc that I agreed to get only one airplane. That was about 16 planes ago.

    Share your Trailer Ideas Here

    Bhuges I like that. Did you just built it on top of a 5x10 utility trailer of is it all homemade? Also I really like the shelf in the middle, looks as though you have unistrut/ kindorf (what ever it's called in your area) as a kinda track that the shelf could easily be slid out of. +1 on that.

    Airbrushed Foamy

    I would love to see it happen. Would be great if you could do some videos. I have a little cheap airbrush that I have just painted a few planes with but using it for it's intended purpose is still yet to happen. I hooked mine to my pancake compressor with no problems. I just got myself an...

    LOL terry yes I'm am supposed to be working on it and I have been a little bit. Just been working on this as well when I'm waiting for filler to dry.

    3D My first Design. I Dubb it The ChubCub

    Everybody has their thing. I'm not saying slabs are my thing but I'm truly enjoying them and for attempting my first design I thought it was the best choice. Plus there can never be to many versions of the Cub out there. I'm thinking of doing a funny with it though. If I can get it ready to send...
