    As part of moving the servos forward decided to make a new stabilizer and elevators, needed to make revision to elevator to accommodate the pull-pull anyway. The resulting parts weight a little more than 3 ounces less than the original. The original is on the right side. Also found the micro...

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    I would shim the two outboard ribs while the remainder of the aileron is flat. Here is a photo of a BUSA Super Cub wing, same as the Cub except add flaps. The aileron is flat to it's edge, yours is a little different. I think I would build it flat and add the two remaining ribs while inverted...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Made the sneak by baffles in the same manner and fit the baffles over the cylinders. Also put a 1/2" flange around the top of the baffle to stiffen and make a close fit to the top of the cowl. It's not as pretty as I would like but it will be effective, a little flat black paint will hide most...

    Started working on cooling the engine, needed a baffle plate that is vertical at the engine centerline then slopes back to allow installation of the exhaust pipes. Cut a piece of 1/2" foam board to the measured angle, covered with clear package tape, and laid up two layers of 6 ounce cloth...

    One final note for today, covered the landing gear struts with aluminum sheet. I think I'm finally done cutting, bending drilling aluminum.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    When the landing gear was built several sets of springs were purchased not knowing what spring rate was needed. The lowest rate was installed, 18#/inch however they are collapsed under the current weight, have 23#/inch and 32#/inch available. Hope the 23# works.

    Put the Champ on the Walmart digital bathroom scale today for a weight and balance. The plane weights 34 1/2# currently needing to finish the fuselage and tail plane covering. Current calculated CG is spot on which will make the plane tail heavy once finished. Going to look and see what if...

    Not a very productive day, wasted most of the day watching football, of course had a few beers as well. Made the fuel tank out of a half liter Fuji water bottle, the top of the bottle sticks out of the firewall, short enough to be hidden under the dash. The brass tubes are soldered to a brass...
