okay panther guy, i appologize for the flap percentages on fred, i'm just a crew chief and forgot how right you engineer guys were all the time and was usually asleep on take off as soon as the gear broke loose and on landing i was just waking up ready to start my day o' drinkin.... the flap indicator on the dash (i believe that's where it was) was broke down in degrees so you could tell. but i'm not completely sure anymore, i haven't been on a fred in about 2 1/2 years. and where are you stationed and what squadron? i was 60 amxs at travis. anyhoo... i'm sure they do fly different from each other, i was curious of the differences between configurations on the PIPER CUB if anyone knew how each of them would differ. but since you totally dodged the topic of the forum i thought i would correct you on it.
khodges, thank you for the pics and info. it looks great. i was actually reading an article about the rib stiching and it was suggesting to use a heat gun and the 1/2 inch tape should shrink down to about 3/8". i finally found a hair supply store that sold the hair set tape and bought a couple rolls of it, so i may just cut a piece of it off and experiment. if it doesn't shrink, i'll just use it normal. not like i'll be putting it in contests and what not. unless they have one for the most unscale cubs. well, i gotta go find out how to measure degrees on my barney.
