Default RE: Sig 1/6 cou mods

This WILL NOT be another yellow cub. Yellow is a good color, but I want something different. As the pics show, it will be red and white. The long wing and fuse will be in a factory scheme for a PA-18. I have started work on converting the long wing to a -18 wing. The flaps are the first addition. They will not be true Super Cub flaps, but more like a Husky's. I will be using Robart hinge points and offsetting them 1/2" down and 1/4" aft of the flap line. This will simulate Fowler flaps but with a simpler mechanism. It is almost identical to a Husky's flaps. Not really scale but neat nonetheless. Check out

for Husky pics. The Autocad screenshot is the flap extension process and the pic is the flap cut from the wing.
