Hi all,

Ever since I first steped into my local hobby shop and saw a guillows kit I thought, can we make it R/C. For me, being a teenager, A guillows is the cheapest way to make a model from a kit, a desire i've had for a long time. So It came to half term, and i went and bought the Piper Super Cub. Its wingspan is 24", not too small and not too big, it weighs almost nothing which is the problem, im going to have to keep it that way.

Heres the box, doesnt look like its changed in years

It wasn't untill after I glued in these skewy formers that I remembered about a thing called a set square

Here is the fuselage all completed, I've worked out that one of those gaps inbetween the stringers is a perfect size for two 3.7gram servos, for the rudder and elevators.

Im not sure where im going to put the hatch so I can get into the model yet, have to give that some thought.

Looks good Ben, and look forward to seeing how the project turns out

Moved onto the wings, Decided against Ailerons because I dont think ill need them on such a small model, and they wont do much for the flying characteristics. Also theres not really anywhere to put the servos if i was going to.

After glueing all the formers in, remembering the set square, i glued in the stringers. I have noticed that the slots for the leading edge and spar are far to small, in fact half the size they need to be, gggrrrr.

Now I have to sand the leading and trailing edges to get the shape i need, it's taking ages!

Next entry to come soon, Ben. 

Hi all,

  I have not done much recently because of; school, hay fever and designing a glider for a comp (here's the thread). But what I have done is make the tail surfaces. I've made them as suggested on the plan but added cross braces for strength, im going to cover the control surfaces with card instead of tissue of balsa, because its what I had lying around. I've also made the hinges, not much work because im using some old Film from a camera, I hope it holds!

Sorry no pics, my cameras broken!

Ben.
