    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Did the same for the fuse formers. I had to drill out the rear dowel location as well. The factory punch must have been a little weak that day.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    I also went ahead and drilled the holes in the root rib for the servo wires and the wing bolt.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Thanks Tony! It's supposed to have some, but I'm thinking of doing a flat wing. If I add dihedral, I'll have to wobble out the bottom of the wing tube holes once I can mount the wing up to the fuse, to properly align them. I think it would be about an 1/8" down on rib 5, then gradually smaller...

    Had to make a different jig for the cabin part, to drill for the wing tube.

    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:
