Guillows Piper Super Cub

Here is my project with the Piper Super Cub, conversion to R/C.

Nice build and thanks for the tips. For future reference, the tail surfaces on the Super Cub are not profiled with an airfoil, they are flat, tubular structures so the leading and trailing edges are rounded, but that’s all.

Great work enjoyed the show Aloha from Hawaii.

Thank you for sharing! I am also doing RC conversions of Guillows models and your example helps. I still need to figure out how to use the brushless motors and standard receivers but I think I will get there some time.

Cool

What kind of glue do you recommend for building the kits?

[@designandbuildguy]

I enjoy the ease of use of Loctite Super Glue liquid and Loctite Super Glue gel. Both work well, as you may see in my videos from time to time.

You're magnificent? sure you're not the manufacturer owner of these planes cause you know exactly what to do.

Hello, what's the purpose of the tooth picks under the parts. I see that you have wax paper down to protect the plans. Thank you for the video

[@designandbuildguy]

I use the toothpicks to elevate the pieces so as they do not stick to the wax paper at any given moment

@@designandbuildguy thank you for the info, I'll try that on my next build
