| scigs30 | Peck Polymers Peanut Piper J3 | Flying | 14-Dec-10 14:34 |  | | Views : 8607 | | It was a nice calm day so I decided to take my Boston Cub out for a test flight. I used 1/8 rubber and did not wind her up all the way since the field is a little on the small size for Bostonians. She pretty much flew off the board with a tiny bit of clay in the nose. The first test flight she flew a little further than I thought she would fly and the tail caught the bottom of a branch, very little damage. I then added my turn tab to the wing and flew her again. This time she flew nice and slow like the real cub and flew over a min. That is not bad for a test flight. Then I called it quits and went back home. I scanned my 54 inch Piper J3 Cub that I designed when I was younger and maybe I will build that. It is a simple design based off the Comet 54 inch kits. |

I had scanned all the laser cut parts before I began the build which turned out very helpful. As was my preference to use little individual building boards. All the shims are still intact. This will be the second time to rebuild wings on this model. Should go fast. Third times' the charm! ;D. |
