After getting back into the hobby after a long absence I picked up an old Great Planes Electric Cub. Electric was just coming into it's own back then and the old DC motors were the cutting edge. In order to keep weight down there are 'way too many small pieces (more like a scale model) and 'way too many steps. It's killing me to finish it but I am not giving up. My first plane was a Trainer 40 (just picked up one of those and look forward to that build) which also had a fair amount of steps but 10X easier to build.
