she's starting to look like a cub :)

Still need figure out something for the top part (ideas welcome)

Figure something out to hinge the top part?


I used small plastic and pin hinges. See attached drawing.

Hopefully it will explain it better than my words can.

If you're still not sure, let me know.

Cool! 

Regarding your question.  It looks like you have the hardest part done.  You have stops to prevent the upper window from swinging in, and you have the latch for the lower section.  I'd just add a flange to the inside of the lower edge of the upper window that is captured by the lower door when latched in place.

Nice work!  Keep it up.

thanks for the advice guys!!

I'll stop in at Pinnacle later this week and see if they have any small pinned hinges

Really nice Greg - what are all the clamps for? - only for taking pictures?
How heavy you expect it will end up?

I reckon it looks like a "Dukes of Hazard" style entry system!

Love the build, Greg.

Yep the clamps for for the photos and I'm hoping to keep her light (2.5 - 3 lbs) range

Thanks Simon.... Hmmm might need to install a dukes of hazard horn in her (or my own car for fun)

Well all this building is contagious.... so it's about time i dust it off and get back to work.

So over the holidays got some work done. First i planked the top of the nose. Second sheeted the top of the wing. Third shaped the section where the wing and fuse meet.

Next step is to finish off the wing struts.

I truly am   :'(

See?  This is what a model airplane club is all about!

It's nice to see the Cub back on the forum, Greg.  I have plans for some sweat EDO (true scale) floats, in the correct scale, for that plane  ;D   Floats can be built up in a couple of evenings.  I'll build a set for my Sky Writter, for your reference ...

thanks for the encouragement guys!


Rob i would love to look over those float plan
