RE: Lets see your Cubs!
Scott,
Thanks, the cylinders are plans built from Cubmans website. You can find a link on my build thread on the 1st page. Just do a search in this forumn for my build thread and check it out. I go over the entire build from start to finish and cover just about everything that you may have an issue with during your build. The wing struts are also custom built and I cover this as well.
Later!!
Anthony
ps. I noticed someone posted the link for Cubman's website as I was writing this. Check it out you will find all the info you need.

Feel free to email me with any questions about anything on my site. Although I have not changed anything on it for some time, I’m working on an L-4 now. This will be a cub man design. If all works I will have a full build info on it.

RE: Lets see your Cubs!
Here's my Sig 1/4 Scale. Power is Saito 1.80. No mods but I would like to get one of the machined landing gears. All up weight is 11 lbs--first time I have every built anything that was at the low end of the weight range. No scale details like Cubman did--check out his build thread. Mine is covered with white solartex and painted with housepaint and a brush.
About half a dozen flights. On one flight my starboard wheel departed on takeoff. Rolled right on down the runway. Guys behing me are yelling "Might as well fly," which I did. Everyone was waiting for landing. Touched down on remaining wheel and IT TOOK OFF TOO! Now I'm on the axles, "rolled out" about 5 feet and with the Saito 1.80 had no trouble "taxiing" about ten feet just for yucks. Found all the pieces, fixed the problem and no more jetison wheels.

Hfrank,
Building the cub is straight forward. The instructions give you information on adding some scale details also. The plane flys great. I use a little more than 1/2 throttle for take off and fly around with 1/3 throttle.
