Actually, John M, it's the GP Stearman PT-17 site. I started getting emails from a couple of them and you were there from the time you chided me about being over there stirring up trouble! LOL! I had not received any emails from the cub brotherhood forum till just today since who knows when?! It's good to be back.
catch up with you at a later date. It's time for bedi-by.
Nitie-nite.

Oh, yes I remember that, LoL... when you said "Stearman site" I thought you meant on another forum web site other than rcuniverse.... you were referring to the Stearman PT-17 thread here on RCU... you made it sound like you were thousands of miles away on some road trip .
So you've been over there this entire time stirring up trouble, and didn't pop in to see what was going on here... I'm going to have to go over to that thread and see what mischief you've been up to .
Things are a bit slow here in the cub brotherhood... acdcii got his 1/5 cub almost ready for the maiden flight, color scheme came out nice... just look back a few page to see it in its final stages.
One of our recent cub brotherhood members Leroy, has a build thread going... he's building a highly scale detailed super cub from a balsaUSA kit... here's the link, I know you appreciate excellence at its best.

Thanks John, but I haven't been on the Stearman site but a couple of times. It came in and I answered it. I hadn't had an e-mail from the Cub brotherhood site for a long time and I thought it went down. I hate going through the lists just to find it again and I'm sure there is an easier way than that but as I have said before, I'm computer stupid and don't retain much that I learn. Even if I write it down, I loose it! Very frustrating! Must be from my pot smoking days! That combined with getting up in age is a double whammy! I will look into the build site. I'm sure it will be good.
Coming up on my first anniversaries of my heart attacks. Dec. 28th and Jan 16th.
Going in tomorrow for a procedure. Their gonna scope my pee pee and clip a piece of skin around the prostate in the urethra and biopsy the bladder. Of course their gonna send me to la la land. So, anyway, not much else going on here. We have had about two feet of snow so far and it is suppose to rain for a couple of days at least through the 25th.
Catchyalater dude.

bb3, go to the top of the page, there is a tab called "Thread tools" click on it, then click on "subscribe to this thread", then click on add subscription. From then on all you have to do is open "settings" on the forums main page.

!hanks Acerc Went there and it indicated that I am already subscribed! Now, if there was a 1-2-3 to posting pictures. I still haven't figured that one out. Can't seem to remember from one time to the next. All those years of pot smoking! Been thirty years since. Stays with you for a long time.

Allowed Filetypes: jpg, jpeg, png, gif"
Select where your file is, Computer or url, likely your computer. Click on the "select files" box. Select the source file name, which must be a jpg, jpeg, png, or gif type. Then click "upload files" to add them to your message. Good luck.
BTW, my very first RC plane, built with my son in mid 80's, was a scratch built RCM Big Bird 2. Flew it with an HB .15. Flew it a lot and rebuilt it a lot. Learned a lot from it also.
Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Flight.

Richard, if you are speaking of the tool bar with a square box with an X, there is none. Only one with an AA with an X. Don't know the reason why I wouldn't have this X-box! Help?
Thanks

ACERC's approach will also work, but seems more complicated to me. Good luck
Merry Christmas to You and Yours

Well! Looks like I did it! This is the third scale
AMR cub floor board and seats with peddles and sticks that work. Saw this floor board in a Husky at our little airport and fell in love with it. It is 1/8th ply crutch with walnut and tiny tiny burle maple 1/64th veneer. the seats are balsa crutch with full sheet burle maple on bottom and three strip alternating colors banding seat bottom and back. I'll post this banding next. Turned out pretty good.................i think.

Bird,
The seat and floor looks nice, I also have a 1/3 AMR Cub. I built production model #1 for a review in FLY R/C magazine a few years ago. I didn't go overboard with details as I was crunched to meet a deadline. I had 2 months to build and fly the plane and write the review. Was a bit of a tall task at the time.
I am now finishing up an overhaul of the Cub after it suffered some hangar rash in my trailer, a shelf fell and broke the fin and rudder. I stripped all the Solartex and recovered the plane in fabric finished with Stits products. Also installing a new engine as the old engine we a PITA to start.
Here are a few pics: I have a thread going in the crash and rebuild forum.
Later!!

Hi WacoNut, Do you use the "attachments" option or the "insert image" optipn? I don't see a "manage attachments" choice.
Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up on the advanced thing. Will try to put multiple pic's up.
One thing i did with the cub mentioned was to reduce the windshield bulkhead's inside diameter to around half an inch in all. This allowed for a more scale covering job of the inside. It was a 'female dog' to do for sure but what an effect! Well, looking forward to more chatting about this great bird.
Catcha later.

.
The aluminum sheeting and parts is made from Roof Flashing from the lumber yard! It is tempered and scores and cuts easily enough with a #11. The blade must be used pretty good and sharpened with 220 grit to work. Just keep sharpening it. I cut mine on my glass table. It is a 3-0 door (36") with two layers of glass recovered from a sliding door that lost it's gas integrity. Two layers because I didn't have anywhere safer to store the second one! If you cut the aluminum on a wooden surface, you will end up grooving the wood and perhaps ruining the cut. Same goes for cutting covering! Most of the time you can score it a couple of times and then gently and progressively bend it back and forth and it will snap apart. Multiple scores are recommended because it will not snap with only one score, you could bend or over tweak it and they won't come out! I also found that putting a sheet in a roller can't get tight enough to roll the part, like for a turtle deck like the one on my Pawnee in my Gallery. It had to be hand rolled! Very tricky but doable. It is that tempered! The gasket for the windows and front cuffing on the windshield was made from split electrical wire insulation. The trick here is, in some cases, not to cut it the first time but, if it will, go ahead.. Take your time, it will take some practice. make a hard wood trough that will hold the wire still and pin one end to the base. Lay the blade at an angle resting on one edge of the trough as a guide and keep your finger on the wire close behind the blade and cut it slowly.
There you go! It really turned out nicely.......................I think!
Once more.............I sign off.

Patience
I has none
Nice work!
On that Stits, thats the finish, or the fabric? How does it compare to dope and Koverall? I like the look of a sprayed finish, but when I sprayed the dope it came out flat and did not cover well, and used a lot more than I had thought it would. I stuck to brushing it , but the white streaks too much.

I use to use printers plate also but they closed the news paper here and it is fifty miles away in any direction! Besides, with printers plate you are limited to size. Flashing is in a continuous roll up to twenty feet and in a number of widths! The only back lash is that it wants to unroll and damage itself. It is hard to keep it from unrolling without damaging it, It can be done, just a PITA! Kinda like a watch spring! BOIOIOIOIONG! If you ever let it get away from you, it will PI-double-is you off!
Also, there is no ink to clean off just a very light mist of lubricant. Rubbing alcohol works nicely.
