Hi John: I've never bothered to weight my Cub because with the g-23 being such a nice flying combination. I'm personally not a big 4-stroke fan in model airplanes. I like them simple and easy to...

I have a Dave Patrick Super Cub with a G-23 zenoah in it and it has ample power and is as dependable a motor as is out there. Mine has the magneto ignition because the model needed the nose weight...

RE: ***CUB BROTHERHOOD***

RE: ***CUB BROTHERHOOD***

Well, last night I got the Cub out for a flight and 17 inches of shock cord it too much - it makes the gear too stiff - I will try it a little shorter and when I come up with a length that works will...

RE: ***CUB BROTHERHOOD***

Yeah, I just tried 17 inches because that looked about right to fit on the pegs and as you can see on the photos that amount really fills up the pegs - there is no room for any more cord on them. ...

RE: ***CUB BROTHERHOOD***

I tried the knot deal and it seemed to take up too much room on the L.G. pegs so I tried this method instead. As you can see it fits well in amongst the cord. My impression is that if anything...

RE: ***CUB BROTHERHOOD***

Yup, I used a piece of brass tubing I have on hand as a swage - its probably got about .015 wall thickness - I just squashed it down with my pliers and when I tested it I was happy to find it held...

RE: ***CUB BROTHERHOOD***

I am going to replace the "O" rings on the landing gear with 1/8th inch shock cord - the "O" rings are cracking open just sitting there so they are not gonna do the job reliably. I found 1/8th in ch...

RE: ***CUB BROTHERHOOD***

RE: ***CUB BROTHERHOOD***

Yesterday the weather cleared up long enough for me to get out and get in some flights on my "new" used Cub. Over the winter I replaced the entire fuel system, cleaned the spark plug on the G-26 and...

I'm currently working on a .90 sized SkyRaider that somebody framed the fuselage up and did the wing - its 78 inches - and then apparently lost interest. Lord only knows how long it sat around in...

I'd rather fly them than build if I had my choice and, like I heard a scale builder say: "You never really get done with one, you just get tired and quit adding details". I figure it this way -...

RE: ***CUB BROTHERHOOD***

Sign me up, I've got a Dave Patrick Super Cub and have owned 4 smaller Cubs over the past 20 years. Heck, I've even got a jacket that has this across the back: CUB CLUB, HASTINGS, MN.
