Default RE: Lets see your Cubs!

Here's my Sig 1/4 Scale. Power is Saito 1.80. No mods but I would like to get one of the machined landing gears. All up weight is 11 lbs--first time I have every built anything that was at the low end of the weight range. No scale details like Cubman did--check out his build thread. Mine is covered with white solartex and painted with housepaint and a brush.

About half a dozen flights. On one flight my starboard wheel departed on takeoff. Rolled right on down the runway. Guys behing me are yelling "Might as well fly," which I did. Everyone was waiting for landing. Touched down on remaining wheel and IT TOOK OFF TOO! Now I'm on the axles, "rolled out" about 5 feet and with the Saito 1.80 had no trouble "taxiing" about ten feet just for yucks. Found all the pieces, fixed the problem and no more jetison wheels.
