    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    3/16 tubing looks better than 1/4" tubing. I think i can live with this. Acetylene bottle is almost empty plus I want some heat dam product to keep the other soldering joints protected so will finish this early next week.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Mostly the entire upper cabin/ wing area is (currently) only supported by 2 window pillars. Side to side sway is almost zero but still there. The little cross braces will be plenty.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Excellent, then I'm on the right path. Nothing is shown on the plans but I knew something wasn't right.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Upper front wing/ cabin area just free floats, nothing tied to the framework at all. I'm to finding some online Cub photos indicating some cross brace structural support. Once I confirm this, game on as I'm tired of fretting over this problem.

    Filling in the cabin/ fuse ribs tonight. This is thicker balsa so straight gluing to ribs.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    It wasn't all idiots stranded that night. There were 10's of thousands of stranded cars (100,000?). It took me 11 hours to go 15 miles. I was a absolute rarity in getting home but my country upbringing helped immensely.

    What beer ya drinking tonight?

    A couple of Tropicalias for lunch and I went home and took a nap. Easy day work wise, was hardly involved at all.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    First and second rib infill tonight. I put some support under to give me an easy landing spot and I didn't have to worry about precise cutting.

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

    Planes maintenance today. 70+ degrees so why not. I make notes on flying day and many notes had built up so knocked a few of my list. I can use the same picture in the 'what beer did you drink today?' discussion section here. Mike knows what I mean.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    It's the ice that forms regularly under the snow that causes the most problems. Our 'Snowpocalpse' a few years ago was actually ice (2") under a dusting of snow.

    A great day of flying. Antonio de Souza offered to come and fly with me so game on. DA170 in the Sukhoi is on fire these days, might go bigger prop as the 3 blade prop rips easily. Swapped the 3W106 out on my Yak and installed a DA120, more prop ripping, I haven't used this engine in a...

    3DHS 75" EDGE 540 V2 Assembly Thread

    I'm going to fly my 107" Yak with a DA120 this weekend (removed my 3W106 with canisters). With mufflers but I'm not happy. I have canisters on everything, I hate mufflers. I would do anything I could to get a canister on that plane. Welcome to GSN.
