1/3 scale Cub

[Dhal22]

There appears to be numerous rc - ex/rc airplane enthusiasts here so I'll help generate some discussion. Currently building a 1/3 scale Cub. I'm a little over 2 years into probably a 4 year build. I'll post photos gradually here for your perusal.

Starting with wing construction.

1/3 scale is enormous! A small child could pilot it! Looking forward to seeing more.

I love watching builds and seeing the eventual plane fly. I tried to get into the sport where I live but there's no where to fly and the waiting list for the only field is 50 people long.

Roughly 12' wingspan.

I'll just post photos as I find ones worth posting. Cutting and crafting small parts. Much easier than metal parts.

Wait, this is a plane?

Yes.

Awesome workmanship! I would love to build a big plane but there's only two fields by me. One doesn't allow gas (glow or EP only) and the other is too small. Even a plane with a 6 ft wingspan needs some serious flaps to land there.

Harrier landings......
