    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I glue fabric on a square frame and preshrink it to 250 f then give it a light coat of Poly Brush before cutting with the pinking shears. The Poly Brush locks the pinked edges in, sometime they will unravel. Then you can iron the patches with 250 iron with worry about shrinkage.

    Since I had the center to center dimensions committed to memory, decided to cut the gasket critical dimensions on the mill and use scissors to cut the OD. 1/32" thick gasket paper was used, should provide a good seal. Used hollow punches to drill the holes, took about 20 minutes and they fit...

    The insulator is done. I glued the first one onto a piece of aluminum, when completed I was unable to break the bond, I used thin CA and probably too much, soaked it in acetone for over a hour. The second one in the photo was glued onto a piece of 1/4" plywood four small dots of medium CA, it...

    The Siato FG61TS has a funky Walbro WYD carburetor from the factory. It has the typical Walbro features such as the pump and diaphragm but the venturi looks more like a Fox 60 carb with a spray bar. There is no choke, to prime the engine the plan is to screw a long rod into the barrel and pull...

    The stabilator linkage is complete, rather than a heavy duty rod end, I used a fitting from a DuBro heavy duty adjustable control horn. Here's a short video.

    The stabilator bearing is near completion. There is very little clearance but the tube turns freely, vacuum bagging the socket is the way to make great fittings sockets. The stabilator rattled around a little on my two previous Cherokees, this one will not.

    The linkage is Rocket City strip aileron linkage. The clevis just snaps onto knuckle, it is stiff, need to use a screwdriver to bend it open to get it on, it's not coming without a screwdriver. They made great linkages fittings, fire in their factory closed them down in the early 2000's. I...
