I bought my 1/3 scale Cub, maybe 15 years ago
Lockdown gave me time to get on with it, airframe finished but silver soldering the landing gear put me off ! Never silver soldered anything larger than couplings to wire. The model is covered and the OS Pegasus 320 is waiting .

Anyway decided to give it go, its finished !

I have only a propane torch, need prolonged heating of large tubes, cleanliness and the right flux.

After all that the gear is complete and EVERYTHING fitted perfectly and every part needed was in the kit. ( well done Balsa USA) .

So silver soldering can be done with a simple propane torch so give it a try guys!
