A few months or so ago I read a thread about a Piper Cub someone had built for thier friend Jamie. (I save all Cub pictures - Cub MAD, if not insane!!!)

The thread has now "dropped off the end" and seems no longer here. Question: Which Kit was the Cub made from??? Picture below:

Hard to tell from the photo. What type of ailerons does it have. A goldberg has strip which run almost the length of the wing and the great Planes has barn door just like the real one.

Art,

Only an old fart like you would know something like that! <g>

Dunno, all I have is the picture. It was just that all the info on the forum thread lead me to believe that for me, this was the best kit to build. I think it may have been a Sig versus Balsa USA thread? Or it might have been somthing to do with "Best covering for a Cub". Just can't remember . . . . . and that's worrying as it was only a few months ago! I'm sure the Guy who built it and took the great picture will pop up shortly.

Skylites, Looks like a great planes kit as i have one 40 size kit. I have noticed that a few manufactures have this small flat place for the light under the cowl.
Correct me if i`m wrong.

SIGH!!!! Convicted as charged, now let's take it one step further. goldberg used metal wing hold down bolts and unless the builder changed that feature then I would have to say that it's not GB Cub. Look at the picture real close and you will see nylon wing hold down bolts!!!!!

You may be as old as dirt, but your eyesight is 20-20! Good Catch.....

Well my Great Planes .40 sized Cub has the exact same call #'s and are the same sized. If this helps at all. The GP cubs must all have NC42517.

GP Piper Cub 40 ~ GREAT! That's it then. Nice beast! Next problem, the UK importer does not keep any of the 3 GP's in stock only the Electrifly Cub! Have to get them to bring one in for me.

Many thanks all for your help.

Bye for now . . . .
