Ready to maiden!! Balanced last night. Due to the OS61 with the bisson exhaust, had to add alot of tail weight to get her balanced level. Hope to fly this coming weekend. Will tune the engine tomorrow night.

I know that you are kind of nervous about the maiden. So I will do it for you. [X(][X(][X(] Got some floats to put on it and fly it off the snow.

Send me 375.00 and you can fly it all you want!! :D Snow!! say it aint so!!!

RE: Better cub pics
 

375.00 I'm worth it.[8D][8D] Can't wait for the snow, go flying, then go skiing, don't get any better than that;)[sm=teeth_smile.gif][sm=teeth_smile.gif]

bill...........lookin' good.....what kit/arf is that? Good luck on the maiden.

RE: Better cub pics
 

ARF. GP fabric. it was a tough build though. The guy that had it before me assembled it partially. I had to take some of it apart and redo it. Nothing major, but time consuming. I have it together better than what the instructions called out. Should fly beautifully.
We shall certainly see! Hopefully soon.

that is a nice looking cub. i have one question? the question is on the safety hub nut do you also need the prop nut behind the hub nut?[X(]

RE: Better cub pics
 

Not sure if it's needed but I've always used one. hub nut is only aluminum. Prop nut is steel, thus more torque can be appllied for tightening. I feel safer that way. I assume you fly at lums pond? I went to the swap meet in newark this weekend. Seemed to be more stuff there last year. I did get some deals though.

Harry Higley makes a nut for behind the prop hub called a Lite Lock.........I used it on my Hanger 9 60-sized P47 and you don't have the spaced look like you have on your cub. Just the prop, the Lite Lock nut and then the Prop Hub. Looks a lot better.

RE: Better cub pics
 

willl check it out,

RE: Better cub pics
 

Hey Bill what size is the prop shaft. I have several of the lite lock that he was talking about. If I have your size I will send it to you. [sm=biggrin.gif][sm=biggrin.gif][sm=biggrin.gif] Free of course. Just my way of saying thanks for letting me maiden your CUB..:):)

:D5/16ths, but no biggy, can probably pick one up at the local LHS cheaper than you can mail it. So when will you be arriving at the house to maiden the cub:D Will have to get the guest room ready, it's full of planes at the moment! :D

RE: Better cub pics
 

HUmmmmmm!!!!! this don't seem the way I had it pictured.[:o][:o][:o]

RE: Better cub pics
 

What do you mean? Do you mean you prefer to sleep with the planes:D:D
