    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    Looking at photos of Cubs, they don't appear to have the additional aluminum panel bethid the boot cowl. Doubled sided carpet tape is used to hold panels in place as the screws are only going into balsa.

    70cc FLEX Ultimate assembly thread.

    Yes but isn't the transmitter still broadcasting the multiplexed string of channels over some time frame? On some radios one can select a shorter time frame when using less channels. Or is JR doing something different? With OpenTX I will assign the ailerons to channels 1 & 2, elevators to 3...

    Never mind, went back and studied a little more, Xbus to PPM converters. What the benefit of using Xbus on this setup anyway?

    Scale Sig 1/3 Scale Spacewalker

    Randy, I thought the doubler would overlap the joint on the sides, it doesn't appear to. What does that joint look like?

    I remember fitting those in a Bryon T6 Texan, what a pain.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    I've used Power Box before, it was the .5mm2 for the power and ,35mm2 for the signal. The insulation is thinner and even though the .5mm2 wire is about 20 gauge it crimped and slide into the housing easily I don't think Power Box offers that wire any longer, only 3 x.35mm@, I could be wrong...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    The new wing tube arrived, it measures 1.126", it fits so I'm happy, snug fit. Laid up the fuselage socket on it, should start to fit the socket tomorrow. Maybe prebend the balsa for the dash as well.

    Putting the green on the positive is just wrong! But I agree.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    And the foam for the dash is cut. Don't have any 3/16" sheet in stock so I will cut a few sheet from a balsa block, should be fun.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Sounds like you really like Biplanes! I sold my only biplane last year at a local auction, 38% Christen Eagle built from Frank Knoll plans. I did modify the construction to eliminate the crutch method of building the fuselage and added a canister. Built in 2006, ZDZ80RV,JMB can, Hitec 5945...

    Just wondering what planes are you thinking about to replace those you plan to sell?

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Started thinking about the dash. Found a nice outline drawing online of the dash and had Staples increase the size to the proper scale. The dash salvaged from the original Cherokee isn't deep enough to accommodate the yokes so it looks a new dash is needed. Thinking I will cut the dash panel...
