RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
You know, maybe it's the hot dry air of our summers that make the O-rings crack and break easily. A friend of mine suggested using yellow O-rings from the "Cat" store (the kind with the tracks and diesel engine that is). I might look into that.
The shock cord I purchased from REI (at 25 cents a foot) worked well on the Camel, now to see how long it lasts being stretched out all the time. I put O-rings on the Cub, didn't have any weight on the wheels and they lasted maybe a month before just falling off. I would literally be changing them out every visit to the field I bet. Neddy, I'll be interested to see what you come up with. Don't slow down too much, you may end up like me! [X(] Take care, David |
RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
Stan7476,
That's a pretty good idea you got there about the D-Sub connectors on the wing. Where did you get the idea? Got to say it sounds familiar... just can't place it... |
RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
That would be Robert my friend.

RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
HA! :) I know, Robert, my friend, and I hatched that little scheme to see what would happen.
Let me know how it works for you. I've got my connectors but realized I should get some new servo wire, the stuff I have has alread been spliced once at the servo, got rid of the connector. I'll still try to mount it, but it takes me quite a while before I can fully invision how I want to do it. P.S. It was actually Robert's idea. :D |
RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
I have no idea of what your talking about CFF.
I know what Stan has done. We PM'ed over the wing tube. Californian's! |
RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
OK guys, did I pass that test? LOL., I hate tests, don't know how I ever made it thru school.

RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
ORIGINAL: jloane Build a door I'm planning on ordering some bulk O-rings for the Robart gear from McMaster-Carr. I need to measure the o-rings to know which ones to order. |
RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
Neddy, I am with you as I am thinking I can reach the bolts from the open door/window. As I said before I am thinking of one bolt on each side, either 10-24 or 1/4 -20.
I am sheeting the interior right now, thanks to Waconuts posts. I have to finish the LH wing panel and then I can test my wing mounting ideas. Not sure when that will happen. As I mentioned earlier I have a 1000 sq ft of flooring coming, so I will be busy for a week or too on that. I still have to do a maiden flight on my scratch built Sopwith Baby as I finally got the Quadra running after rebuilding the Walbro carb. |
RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
I bolt my wing thru the door's. I used 1/4-20 thumb screw's.</p> |
RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
I like the idea of the larger 1/4-20 screws vs the hobby sized ones I was thinking about. I guess I'll be heading to my local Ace hardware since they seem to have all the odd hardware parts like that.
|
RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
Gee Robert, your ideas are sure popular! I did the same! ;) Works great!
|
RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
Fixing to get started on my wings and wanting to do the same guys. Will be paying close att. to this.

RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
I just picked up some 1/4-20 Thumb Screws and some 1/4 -20 T-nuts at my local Home Depot. If Ican get organized, Iwill get some pics up.
P.S. The thumb screws are in the specialty hardware drawers and the T-Nuts are bagged in the orange bags on the racks nearby.

RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
Stan did you find the Thumbscrews with the stop or are ya going to have to solder a washer on to it?
|
RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
Robert, They have a stop on them. If you want Ican take a photo and paste it.

RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
That's not needed. Mine did and was just wondering.

RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
Started back working on the cub, and need to know if I am doing the clipped wing version am I supposed to remove two ribs at the fuselage side and start at the third rib over?
|
RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
I am thinking it is deleting 2 ribs, but hopefully one of the experts will chime in here. Ihave only built the CW kits.

RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
Waco , Vincent, or anyone that has built the sig 1/4 cub as a clipped wing. I could not find information as to where to are how much to take off each wing. Waiting on response before going on. Any help will be appreciated.
|
RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
Don't know if I can help you. You have the unclipped version and wish to clip the wing? Mine came as the clipped wing so I don't know which ribs should be omitted. I could photo the wing plan and post if that would help. I would suggest calling Sig up and asking them, they could tell you definitively.

RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
Thanks for the info. I went ahead and removed two inner ribs. That will be about the same span as the cw version. I'll post pictures soon.
Thanks Don |
RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
Typical, you always seem to stumble across these threads when you've almost finished your build. Never mind, I'm signed in now and reading all the good info on things I could have done.:D

RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
Been building the right wing section and a bit slower than some. Which engine that I have would be better suited for this plane. DLE 20 GAS OR 1.20 OS FS with a pump?
|
RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
DLE 20 is too small, the 30 is better or the OS 120 if you already have it.
