SIG 1/4 Cub update #2

[@sampson30062]

Super covering and paint job! One of the best I’ve ever seen.

[@maljohn6584]

Totaly agree lovley covering well done .

[@nateg6320]

You my friend are incredibly talented. I never would’ve thought of poking pin holes on the underlying layer. Beautiful job. I’m a huge chipmunk fan as well and about to embark on a mint CG chipmunk I scored not long ago. I had one 30 yrs ago and regretted selling it ever since. Keep up the great vids

[@mattpremus5084]

Best tip I’ve got ever! Thanks I’ve been fighting putting covering on top of covering for years! Such a simple concept and I’m sure other guys have done it but you are the first one to bring it to my attention and I thank you!

[@n1114v]

Your very welcome!

[@wildgoobsid5]

I’m starting a 1/6 clipped wing cub on floats and a 1/3 space walker this winter. Absolutely love retro Sig kits. Just finished a scratch build of a Goldberg Bucker Jungmann from the original kit plans. Best plane I ever flew 20 yrs ago so I decided I wanted another. I actually have a puncture tool. Keep building!

[@johngeesey4792]

Thanks for covering tips. Working on a Hazel Sig clipped wing. Same color scheme as yours. 👍

[@richarddarlington1139]

Lookin' good, Andy. his will be a good plane for playing "transmitter toss." On sport scale cabin models such as this, I like to put in a removable deck and back panel just below the window line. It really gives the model a more finished look, and it's easy to do.

[@billjones3071]

Great job, I built one two years ago used Koverall for covering doped on , best plane I ever flew

[@jasonwright6433]

Absolutely beautiful!!! When I did the stripes on my super chipmunk I used monokote and used windex and let them set for 24 hrs and then hit it with my iron and it came out great!

[@robertjohnson5776]

Great tips! I am fixing to do the same style of stripes on my Goldberg Ann Cub that I re-covered.

[@n1114v]

Sweet!

Thanks Steve! Its Coming along.

[@VeeDubJohn]

I loved looking at that Cub in the Sig catalog when I was a kid. I hope you go into detail about the canopy and window mounting, would be really interested in that. Thanks!

[@n1114v]

I will go over it in a future video.

[@mikeflear5431]

Andrew, if that plane flys as good as it looks, it will be a dream! Very nice!

[@meissert]

Nice work. I build three of them 30 years ago, one was 90% done and has been sitting in my garage ever since, scale landing gear out of a/c steel silver soldered .... a real gem. Have a 1/3 landing gear also but probably never use it... like you said Corona project after a 30 year break working to finis my 1/4 scale now... retired with no time until Corona. Your video are very informative and will get me flying again... I guess I need new radio, I think I can still use my servomechanism?

[@n1114v]

I would go with all new radio gear

Good job Gr8 Tip

[@tomwassmer9828]

Great work Andrew. What a beauty! I’m getting really close to covering my Sig 1/6 scale fuselage so I’m being forced to address the aspects of the build I’ve been avoiding due to lack of ideas. Your landing gear fairings that cover the wire gear look flawless. I’m curious if you have any pictures of those before you covered them so I can see how you did it? Thank you for sharing your build!

[@n1114v]

They're not covered. They're epoxied onto the wire landing gear then covered with fiberglass cloth with two coats of resin and then painted to match the blue covering

[@tomwassmer9828]

Ok. Thanks for the quick response. I’ll give it a go!

[@tomwassmer9828]

Gave it a go...no bueno! A couple questions if you have time. I tried doing the top and bottom with one piece of glass. I couldn't get the glass to stay down where I wrapped it around the edges. I bailed on the whole operation to do some more research. I was using 2 oz cloth. The epoxy is from Raka epoxy (similar to West Systems) a boat project I'm planning. Would you recommend using two pieces of glass? My thought was I'd like to use one so it'll span the joint between the balsa and wire gear. I'm now thinking maybe I should glass one side, let it dry, and then wrap the excess and epoxy the bottom. Also what weight glass do you use for your stuff. Maybe lighter than 2 oz would work better for what I'm trying to do?

[@n1114v]

@@tomwassmer9828 3/4 oz is what to use. Do the bottom and overlap to the top about 1/2 inch, then glass the top. Once dry add second layer of resin then prime and paint.

Love promodeler servos only problem is every time I start to buy them it wants me to log in, I have paypal they take paypal just sell them to me! I just end up moving on. Cub does look amazing and nothing flies like a cub!

[@geraldraisbeck2472]

Awesome! Do you cut the white stripes before or after application? I struggle with this.

[@michaelfergusonsr.8574]

Absolutely beautiful. What is the blue color and paint match?

[@n1114v]

Monokote royal blue, duplicolor royal blue.

[@SomeGuyInSandy]

Just try to find one of the Woodpeckers! I've tried. If you know anyone that is willing to part with one, please let me know! Nice work, it looks really good. :)

I am waiting for my engine to arrive before I start my Sig 1/4 scale cub kit, So my question to you is how many building hours to this stage I you spent?

[@n1114v]

Not sure.... I build fast! It's a pretty easy build

Would have used a ball link on the servo arm instead of the Z bend, Much better look..

Remember this is not a competition scale subject, it's purely for nostalgia. Back in the day Z bends were popular in giant scale.
