GP cub pics
 
Took these will my cell phone this morning. so that are not the best quality. All that's left is attaching the wing struts, which I did start last night. I'm using 6/32 brass threaded inserts, 5 minute epoxy to sert them in place, then allen head screws for attaching the struts to the wing. Should make it a bit easier to attach the struts at the field. Just need to be sure that I don't twist the wing when I finish mounting and aligning the rear strut supports. Maybe maiden on Sunday. I still need to shorten the fuel fill line. I might install and fuel dot later, but for now, I think I'll just plug the line.

He is not going to fly it. It is being shipped to me for the maiden. I mean, what can a guy do for a good old marine. ;););) Yea, I know, careful on the old part.[X(][X(][X(]

Yeah, yeah, big swap meet tomorrow in delaware, who knows, might just buy a 4 stroke. But I am anxious to get it in the air! Need to get rid of the foam wheels too.

Looks very good. Great idea on the inserts, makes it much easier for Assembly. I have an OS 70SII on mine and fly for 25 minutes with fuel left over. I still get excited when I see there is little wind at the field for a day of flying. A few of us show up with them on calm days and get a kick out of flying together. If you have water near you they fly great off water as well. Good luck
