    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    No idea whatsoever. My experience with Cubs is that they are hard to land from so much lift. So far very little weight added. But point taken, I will weigh the extras and leave the weight discussion open for all of my GSN brothers here.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Silly work while glue dries here and there. Stuck this M1.4 screw head on this control arm. It's just glued as the main bolt is just under the white epoxy putty.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Ah ha........ The problem is unless this plastic throttle connector comes off I need this rod to be straight. I can't put much of a jog in the rod or i won't be able to thread it into the plastic connector. Worse, I need to send the engine in for inspection and startup. Once i cover the...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    The dang throttle arm is in a tough location. After multiple potential positions including hacking my tank shelf in several areas I think I have a throttle servo location. I tried here but couldn't find a servo location.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    I thought about flying today but too busy. My preference is above 60 degrees but I might lower that to above 50 degrees. I need to fly more.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Throttle servo thoughts tonight and I run into this mystery box. Unopened from 3 years ago, turns out these were for a science project for my son. We used regular servos on that project and I forgot about these. 2 are continuous rotation and the other is a boat anchor.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I stopped at 400 grit. Could have easily kept going to 1000/2000 grit. No reason other than I like to sand. The filler is Rock Hard and it is. And very light.
