    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Getting some of the wing mods figured out. I'm going with one extra rib on the ailerons, and flaps. The wing will also have a wing tube extending into the 5th rib. I'll probably remove the forward dowl, since I'll be using a wing tube. I'm also switching rib #2, " ply" with rib #5, balsa. Flaps...

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Rudder is about finished up. Just need to add a horn mount! I did use 3/8 X 1/2 balsa for the leading edge instead of the supplied 3/8 X 3/8 balsa.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Elevators completed for now. I'm not going to join them until I figure out if I'm going to run one servo or two!! I also cut another E3 and sandwiched a piece of 1/8" balsa in between the two and made a solid 3/8" piece for the horn mount. You can also see the amount of plans stretch in the last...

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Agreed!! This will not have enough power to hoooover anyhow! but touch and goes from knife edge slips keep things interesting!! In tight hammer heads with touch and goes are fun as well.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Knife edge and knife edge slips are really fun with a Cub. I'm trying to model this one after the Super Cub! PA18 maybe?? It will just be a sport scale. I'm not much of a scale nut, just like to push the limits of my understanding!!:eek:

    Horizontal stab turned out well.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    DLE 30 :confused: It's what was in my last 1/4 scale cub, and It's not earning its keep right now!

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    I'll post lots of photos. It will be a slow build, as I have about 3 projects going at once. It will also take time for me to get all the extras I need.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Got started on the tailfeathers and I can see why people have issues with the die cutting! The plans also seem to have a stretch. But we'll see how it turns out. I also built a new S4 so they match up right. Also received the Super Cub cowl.

    Sport Name That Plane!

    I think the wing bolt method was a mod the original builder added on this one. I'm pretty sure it's usually built with dowels and rubber bands for the wing attachment.

    Sport Name That Plane!

    Yep, and I've read where some have as much as 10* on this one, depending on the engine they use. I've got a little more done on it. And I've got most of the covering off of the fuse. The wood under the covering was super gooey. I spent a couple hours just getting all the goo off with alcohol and...

    Agreed! Not sure what engine was on it, But I'm going with the Eflite Power 15. I've read where some have had to add down thrust on these birds.
