RE: ***CUB BROTHERHOOD***
I have recently aquired a 1/4 scale cub and would like to join the cub brotherhood.
I am not sure what make it is, but it does have a 105" (1 piece) wingspan.
The engine that is mounted in the plane is a German made Hans Hoernlein Profi 76 (12.65ccm)
with a 14 x 6 MAS prop.
I had to make some modifications to the original muffler as the engine is mounted inverted.
The factory pressure nipple was facing downward and a lot of exhaust oil went up into the pressure line.
As well the front of the muffler has a round factory hole in it that I had to plug with an M6 fine thread bolt.
Now there is enough pressure to the tank and the engine does not quit at 1/2 throttle due to fuel starvation.
I think that the engine has not run very much, because of the fuel problem.
This leads me to believe that the plane has not seen any flying action.
A few more tanks of fuel for run-in and she should be ready to feel the wind beneath her wings.
If anyone can direct me to what the make of this model is, it would be much appreciated.
I need some info on the C.G. measurements before flight time.
I have looked at quite a few posts and came up with SIG, but they all seem to have two piece wings. Mine is a one piece wing.

Happy building & flying.
