    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Thanks! No need for apology though. I have a hard time catching up as well. Some times weeks before checking in. Keep up the good work on your Cub. Learning lots!

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    It's the OS GF40. I've got a bench vid of it a couple pages back. So far, it runs really good. Though I've not yet tested it with the Turbo muffler.

    Thanks Balsa, I've got a lot to learn about towing.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Thanks Tony, I've never towed before, so I'm not all that familiar with the process. But I think the tow line stays with the tow plane and the glider also has it's own release. I've got to do some research to find out if there is any interference with ridder operation, limited turn angles, climb...

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    I used some 1/8 ply to cover the rear cabin top. I also used the F2 that came with the kit and not needed, to add a center support for the tow release. I should have moved the tow release another 1/4 inch forward, so the servo was on the face of F6, I thought it would be, but missed. I might...

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Got some work on the Cub done today. Got the wing tube sleeve cut up to proper lengths and installed the center section in the fuse. I also glued in F16, and used the left over ply doubler to add a front piece.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Haven't got much done lately, but I did fit the wing tube and make some donuts for the wing tube doublers I'll add when I glue the sleeves in.

    Discussion Bud Nosen Citabria

    Balsa sands really easy with a 150 grt. Just use short strokes and be mindful of where you apply pressure to the sanding bar. Quick and easy!!

    Had a little time and worked on a removable tank mount for the Cub. Might use it or change it up a little.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    I think this kit uses the wire V-brace for both. It was pretty wiggly side to side before I added it, and there's not much, as noted, holding the top on. Since I added the wing tube, I hope it doesn't shift the stress point. It feels pretty solid now, with the brace. Nick, That is some scary...

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Did a little work today and found another issue. The template that came with my Robart gear doesn't match up with the gear, so double check it if you use it. I used it before I glued the gear plate in, so I'll have to fix it. Got the tail gear plate installed. I recessed it a bit. The Hanger 9...

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Got the front wire brace in place. Hope it will hold up, as it is the structural integrity of the front cabin top. Has anyone got any advice? I plan on using a lock nut on it and glue! I also have a tow hook I'd like to use on this Cub, but I would have to leave the top fin off. I had to heat up...
