GrnGrt, yes, the Lone Star Flight Museum here in Galveston, TX has a Stinson L-5 that I would like to model. Problem is finding a nice 1/4 Cub kit that is laser-cut and builds fast. I thought about the Dynaflight SuperCub, but after downloading the instruction manual (well written BTW), I think it to be quite time consuming. I like the tube spar wings, though.
Are there other lasercut 1/4 Cub types out there? I know Sig introduced a lasercut 1/5 Cub, hopefully they will update their 1/4 and 1/3 versions soon.
The guy that owns the field where I fly has one totally restored with the green house behind the wing, and it's done in Canadian markings. I know if I ask he will let me take a gazillion pictures of it. I think the balsa USA 1/4 Cub could be redrawn to make one and have been giving it some serious thought. The owner is in hog heaven right now (he owns about 14 full size planes) and the new hanger 9 Taylorcraft ARF is a copy of his plane and I am here to tell the full size is utterly gorgeous!!!! I have seen him fly a few times and wring it out over the flying field and I slobbered all over myself big time. If you look at the picture in the ads that's him kneeling with the model.
