Ft simple cub group build thread!

[The Hangar]

I’ve been doing my leading edge folds that way for a while. Now I want to try for a rounded upper airfoil surface instead of the humps over a foam board spar. I’ve tried beveling the top of the foam board spar & no joy. I’m considering CF tube spars but I also want a flat lower surface, so maybe a strip of .065” X .5” balsa under the CF tube. I’ve been told there’s nothing you can’t design to work well with DTFB using only unlimited imagination, advanced building skills, time & money...

I didn’t make any changes to the spar and it fit pretty well...

I don't have anything built yet, but I have been going over paint schemes. I going for cub yellow with blue lightning bolts going all over the fuse. Maybe a checkerboard pattern on the tail or nose too. Man I can't wait!

I don't know if I'll build one, but I'll watch with interest!

That will look awesome!

Aww, cmon - it’s only 3 sheets of foam and 4 servos.

Whats up Griffy? Why won't you play nice in the sand box?

He's scared his cub won't look as good as ours.

Eh just doesn't interest me, I found out the Savage bobber is based on a super cub, so once I build that I'll post it here lol

I wouldn't even have to paint it to get it to look better than yours.

So is the DGA

Not if you don't build it!

Well that is way more parts to cut out! I just couldn’t force myself to cut all those pieces out. The cub was bad enough and it’s only 10 pieces! And out of those I only cut out 5...

I thought you like cutting foam???

Then why did I order a needle cutter?

To sell kits lol

That was my excuse to get my buddy to pay for it...

Its an investment right?!

Its an investment right?!

Indeed!

So I decided that I'll paint it up like this. I've really wanted the Hobbyzone version of it so this will be my "budget" version.

Don't you have a 3D printer now? You could 3D print a nose like the one in the picture.

Well I only watched the “build with Bix” and didn’t build along, but afterwards I started wanting another simple cub - really bad actually! So I found a couple people interested in joining me on a group build and decided on starting the thread tonight! I’ll be missing mine to be a “carbon cub” and implement some of the master series building techniques in the build.
Let’s start building!

You don't have to time to start a new thread, you have stick plans to update!!!
