Snappy,
 
I'll make sure mine is ready. We could do a formation flight with your as well if you are bringing it. Perhaps too big. A kinetic instead then.
 
If I order the FS glow engine, will it be hastle free? no messing around with mixture screws and hi/low settings blah blah :(
 
?
 
:)

Now the undercarrage
It comes in 3 pieces and has to be bolted together. It is bare metal and I painted and fuel proofed mine.


The suspension is achieved by elastic bands and there are bit brown bands in the kit which look horrible

Instead I used rubber from a bicycle inner tube, cut into rings. (you could use calamari) this also has the advantage as from a distance it looks like the black covers that Cubs usually have. I cut up a few extra for my flight box and a snack at the field.




   I'm as happy as a very happy sandboy.

Building the cub and watching Murray waving out Chela at RG on the same time?

A minimal technical knowledge is required for this hobby; please ensure you know the differences between up and down.

Snappy on your landing gear I notice you have what looks like tubing from the hinge that connects to the bottom of plane to the metal leg brace on both sides...Did you do that or did it come with the parts because I do not have anything like that in my parts for landing gear.
How long does it take a monkey with a wooden leg, to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle???

stacks that's two pieces of fuel pipe with some fishing trace down the centre simulating the break lines on the full size. ( I was bored waiting for the epoxy to set)

Thanks but I must be the only Irishman in the world who dosnt drink. Apart from Gen Philip H Sheridan I have no idea what "Sheridans" are, I am hoping it's what you antipodians call a slightly older milf like Shelia!
