Twist or 3 actually!
I've had a few stops and starts... But I've been gaining experience and knowledge, behind the scenes over the past year.
I got a Simple Cub Speed Build Kit last Christmas, but it took me till last Month, to acquire all the necessary bits to put her together - my way.
You see, as an Old, Broken, Disabled Veteran, with Hands that aren't quite as nimble, and Legs that only sometimes work...
I need more Docile Aircraft - ESPECIALLY when on the Ground or Landing on it!
I noticed in the Build Video (22 separate times!), that EVEN Josh Bixler COULDN'T always Land her, without severely Nosing Over!!
For me, that wasn't going to work with my issues.
I learned Aerodynamics and Avionics in the USAF...
But learned so much more from My Dad and his Friends, about the basic and advanced theories about HOW Airplanes fly, how they've evolved, how they're controlled, and advantages/disadvantages of certain Design Elements.
Am I a Genius?? Hell NO!! Just a Guy who has been around, asked questions, watched many Videos and read things.
ANYONE who would try to tell you that they know everything... just politely excuse yourself, and go far away!!
That aside, here's the Build!! Part 1 of 6 anyway.
Essentially, moving forward the Landing Gear about an inch, should help with stabilizing Landings by not pivoting so much weight forward. I hope!!
Again, I'm far from perfect. I'm experimenting with Theories from multi Million Dollar Aircraft, and from People who actually ARE Geniuses....
And applying them to a $25 Foamie!!! Could work.
If you watch these, you could either enjoy my Band's Music from a Lifetime ago (the 80's!), or hit the Mute button. Your choice of course.
NOTE: I'm only up to Part 4 myself, waiting to be able to get some final pieces.
I sincerely hope in the end, this will be helpful to some People!
