That was the CG Cub wasn't it??

I think it was the GP, but I've never met a Cub I didn't like (Unless the wing wasn't clipped of course :D )

RE: Cub maiden!!
 

Nice Bill. Hope you like it as much as I do mine. 1/4 scale clipped wing with 26 gas. Floats around so nice, looks real.

Yeah it was a good day. Took four planes to the field. Flew them all. Weather was perfect. Low 60's, little to no wind. I had the club instructor Tim, do the maiden flight. Took off beautfully. Flew super. Engine died, Tim dead stick landed the plane. Fuel lines were inspected. All looked good. Pulled glow plug and checked it. Glow was weak, replaced with an os 7 plug. Next flight was flawless. The OS 61 max is perfect match, even though its a 2 stroke. I had trouble with final approach, due to yellow fall oak leafs on trees way beyond
the runway. I completely lost the plane on final approach. It blended right in with the leaves. Some how I managed to land it. After flight inspection revealled that the right side landing gear strut cover was loose. Other than that a great day of flying. Cub required no trim adjustment,

I need to work on my final approaches. I can land fine, but never seem to be where I think I am when I begin my flair. Always seem to be to the right or left of where I think I am. When the cub blended in with the tree leaves, what I should've is go around and try a somewhat different approach. I will do my own maidens from here on. I think I have progressed enough with my flight skill. I'm sending this from my blackberry, hope that it post ol
Thanks for all of your suggestions, support and infinite wisdom!

I have one on my bench right now I'm learning to hate!! Older CG 40 Cub kit, the anniversary kit. The fellow I'm building it for needed parts to fix his crash damage on his other one but that isn't a big deal. The dies were way beyond worn out when this one was cut. {crushed} I have had to take the parts into my wood shop and run them through the over head sander just to get then out of the sheets. Wood warp on the spars look like someone was trying to make a bow. Full wing too but it's going to ba a float plane.
Genes yellow and black Cub is still one of my favorites!!! The covering just pops!!!
Glad to hear Bills plane is a keeper. The first few flights of my Cub weren't so smooth. I kept getting behind it so the ground handling on take off was ugly.

I'm building the GP Anni cub too. Clipped with an OS 70
