Ya post pics. I'm getting ready to start covering the wing of my .20 Cub. 'm using that Coverite Century 21 stuff. It workes great real easy to use and gives a scale appearance to the Cub. I hope I don't burn a hole.

gary
ya did a darn nice job on that tiger maybe we can fly them together in the spring. I missed the opurtunity to get a pic to post sorry what was i thinking.
Baron
that 21st century stuff is great I love the fabric look Never burned a hole in it it really likes being stretched when you put it on

Hey, Y'all.

Down here we had Artic weather today, just barely got up to 50 degrees. I didn't go flying, instead I got some heavy quilts, a hot rum toddy, and curled up by the fire.

Haw.

Bill.

Bill, Weatherbug says it got up to 30, here. I was out in my heated shop, stayed warm, and workrd on my D9.

Oh ya, Saturday, I fired my snowblower up, and did the snow we got a couple of days earlier. That offer for lessons is still open.

Tom:

Don't try to teach your grandmother to suck eggs, boy. I grew up in snow country, and before I moved back to the East Coast a few years ago I was in Northern Kentucky. While it wasn't Michigan, we didn't have the Great Lakes to even the temperatures out, either. Wasn't uncommon to have a Nove,ber snow, and not see the ground again until April. I want no more of it, thank you.

Prop bites are bad enough at 60 degrees, I have no intention of getting another at 16 degrees.

You like such weather, you can sh... excuse me, you can keep it.

Haw.

Bill.

Never said I liked it.
Soon as I can afford to retire, I'm outta here!!!

Hey Bill the colder it is the less prop bites hurt. 'cause the cold is an anisthetic. I don't know...50 sounds like swimmin' time get off the couch and get flyin'.

Got my alirons and hatches covered yesterday.....really movin'. I'll s-t-r-e-c-h it.

Tom , believe it or not , I do not have a digital camera. Maybe I can get a couple pic with the family Xmas. pics and have them put on a disc. THEN, I have figure out how to post them. I'm very computer illiterate[]

Gary, I don't have a camera, either. Any picture I post is either taken by Don, or scanned into my computer and then posted.

I put my photos in MY PICTURES and then upload them. Just click reply and when the form comes up, you'll see the Upload Images in the bottom left corner. Click it and it should take you to your pictures. Select the one you want. It's not hard once you've done it a couple of times.

See

Tom we supposto to get a 6 pack tonight. No not beer.....snow.

Get those pics posting..
Ya like this...

Barron, Is that the Cub that you are in the process of covering? Nice job!!! What kit is it?

I've had 2 or 3 Cubs, all Goldberg, with OS 70's. Don has the big Great Planes Cub with an OS 120 twin. A friend has the Balsa USA 1/3 with a G62. Gotta love those Cubs. Oh, ya, Don and I both have the Herr breezy day Cubs that are electric, but we haven't flown them yet.

Freezing rain and snow here tonite.

Tom , thanks for the photo info. I will try it. I don't have a scanner so I still will get my pics put on a disc.


Great pic of your pic of your aircraft.

Yup thats my current project. Got the bottem of the wing covered yesterday. What kit? Unknown...really. The story:

Was at the field one day a guy drives up never saw him before. Askes me if I want this Cub he has. He says it has no movable serfaces just the rudder sort of broken. I told him I'll take it. Meet him another day to pick it up. Was in really bad condition. I striped the wing hinged all the parts put a motor in it, servos, rx, batt, pushrods, and all the other junk.

I got the frame for $15. Now its worth about $350. He told me he got it 25 years ago from a coin shop for $25. Never used it was sitting in the garage and basement. Has no idea where it came from, who built it, what kit it is, it was just there.

Well thats it the story of my Piper Cup.

Sorry need explanation of pics. First Cub is original condition except for the horz. stap. and elevator they were like the wing. Second Current condition of Cub the red thing in the window is the Hitec 8ch Super Slim Receiver.

Schwabby:

Just picking nits - hope that second picture is reversed, and showx the right side of the fuselage.

Cub doors are on the right side only.

Bill.

Barron, Nice job on the reclamation project!!! Will you have to wait 'till spring tp fly it, or are ya gonna put it on skis and venture forth into the snow?

Freezing rain and an inch or two of snow at work today. At my place (25 miles away) there was less snow than when I left this morning. My wife said it rained all day. No snow blowin' tonite!!!

Hey Billy Boy the Fuse came that way I didn't do any thing to it except a couple layers of dope. Not gonna change it.

Oh Tom don't know when I'll fly it hope to get it out on a lake sometime. (before the spring)

Barron, The lakes up here hane just as much snow as the ground. The road to our flying field is plowed, so if we get the urge to fly, we just go there. Skiis kinda work, but the planes like to sink into yhe snow.

Six inches of snow at work. Two here. That's for today.

Thats were HAND LAUNCH comes in. Don't ya plow a runway on the lake?? Took me 1 hour to cover the top right wing panel on the Cubby yesterday its coming along good.

And Billlll what side of the wing is the N# on??? (thats a trick question)

Lord Sailor:

In the old marking specification the N number wasn't on the side of the wing. It was painted once on the top, and again on the bottom. Haw.

Conventinally, it was on top of the right panel, and the bottom of the left, but the top marking could extend across both panels. THere were regulations concerning the height and width of the numbers, and they were painted (both top and bottom) to be viewed as upright when seen from the tail of the plane.

Bill.

Barron, Outside of that electric Cub, I don't have anything small enough to hand launch. Most of my planes are of the 80" and above category. My Sportster 40 with an OS 70 could handle floats, but the motor needs a rebuild after 13 seasons, and it's very tired right now.

I hope you like your Cub. Do you have any other scale type planes?

Tom I hand launch my trainer with a .46 and it tips the weigher at 5.5lbs. I hand launch my Pizazz with a MDS.61 that weighs 5.5lbs. I hand launch........ Get it????

I do have the GP Fokker Dr-1 looks sort of like that <----
Am going to get the Balsa USA 1913 Etrich Taube after Christmas.

Barron, sounds like you are catching the scale bug. Be careful, it'll suck you in. My second plane was scale and I've never looked back. Of the 20 or so planes I've built, only 5 have been sport planes.

I think you'll like Balsa USA kits. The one I built was real enjoyable. The Taube is a nice airplane. Which size are you getting?

I'd be afraid to hand launch my planes. Don could do it, but I'd be afraid to trust him. It seems there have been a couple mishaps when I've launched planes for him. And revenge is sweet.

Oh yeah
this I gotta see
