Guillows Piper super cub 95 stick and tissue

[BBdave]

I used to do a lot of aero modeling as a kid my dad taught me how to make from plans etc. So I thought I would have a go at this for a bit of nostalgia I'm a bit rusty with covering but it's passable. I replaced the kit balsa struts with shaved down bamboo kebab sticks and added a little dihedral for flying. It is covered in yellow Japanese tissue and a couple of light coats of yellow acrylic car spray .


A nice little kit that builds well not sure dad would approve with a kit but the laser cut bits sold it.

I have no experience of this kind of modelling, but the result looks good to me. Can't go wrong with a bright yellow Cub

It's getting them to fly well that's the skill they fly fairly well from the box but a few alterations and weight saving help
