Post by: sanjayrai55 on March 18, 2014, 10:23:45 AM

The only tricky part in the wing build (besides figuring out what goes where) is the ailerons. These are fully built up on the TE, and then cut out :o

Ready for covering and assembly

Title: Re: Piper Cub from RCB Balsa Kit - for 2014 Sweepstakes
Post by: sanjayrai55 on March 20, 2014, 08:31:03 PM

Covering started. Used transparent yellow as I had it in stock, and couldn't get solid Cub yellow locally.

First painted the cowl and wheel hubs, and fitted the wing (aileron) servos

Title: Re: Piper Cub from RCB Balsa Kit - for 2014 Sweepstakes
Post by: sanjayrai55 on March 20, 2014, 08:41:26 PM

I fit servos (in these positions where screwing down is not possible) by using heavy duty double sided foam tape and a Zip (Cable) Tie. Reliable.

* Hint: If you use E-Max 8.5 gram servos, save the card packing. Makes a perfect template for marking out servo holes when you need to cut them. Same size as all standard 8.5'9 gram servos from HK etc.

Beautiful sanjay sir.
give me some tips to cover balsa. does any other option for shrinking the covering without having that heat ion.

Title: Re: Piper Cub from RCB Balsa Kit - for 2014 Sweepstakes
Post by: rastsaurabh on March 22, 2014, 11:31:09 AM

yes cover with kite paper and damp it with some glue and water sol...... the paper will streach once dry
but it will be delicate.

else use tape..... then iron it . that will iron out the wrinkles

Title: Re: Piper Cub from RCB Balsa Kit - for 2014 Sweepstakes
Post by: manojswizera on March 22, 2014, 12:41:22 PM

I tried some gelatin paper and other plastic covering sheets. but the problem is How to stick that on balsa.
orocover covering films have glue on one side.

Title: Re: Piper Cub from RCB Balsa Kit - for 2014 Sweepstakes
Post by: topalle on March 22, 2014, 03:32:39 PM

@manoj... you can use a hairdryer to heat shrink the covering.
@sanjay sir... thanks for th pics

Title: Re: Piper Cub from RCB Balsa Kit - for 2014 Sweepstakes
Post by: sanjayrai55 on March 22, 2014, 06:17:24 PM

Manoj:

1. Up to about 28~30 " span you can use tissue: Put the tissue on with glue, then spray water and let dry. The tissue shrinks tight. Now coat with Dope (NC Lacquer)

2. For 25 and above nitro models you can use nylon. Use an old sari, then Dope and paint (Oil Paint works fine)

3. Gusty sir has used Cellophane wrapping paper with success. Details are in my Red Swan build

4. Heat Shrink can be applied using an ordinary electric iron. A small travelling iron (about Rs. 400 on e-bay) works fine.

5. Be careful if using an electric hair dryer. It can pull the covering off the glued surface and ruin it

yes i have ! i prefer oracover though, for simple reason that, cellophane looses strength after a while. it is not at all water friendly, it is light however, after a few days you need to apply heat once again, else the skins sags again. other than that, for cheap and best repairs and micro aeroplane use, cellophane is as good as it can get

@sanjayrai55 sir,
At this rate i will have no option left but to build this (waiting since 1996).
I will be able to prove, like Lance says, that 'my fuselage is longer than yours'
Alas, what's the use. Can never meet the second condition.
As stated by the venerable rcpilotacro:

Awesome Bird.
Maiden video kab hai.
Sanjay Sir one thing if you dont feel bad or get angry.
You have spoiled the way a cub looks with those black stripes.
But still it is nice

Sanjay Sir,
Each time you build one it's always beautiful & you make it seem so simple..don't you get bored doing it perfectly all the time?

"हमसे तो नहीं बनता, बनता है तो उड़ता नहीं, उड़ता है तो फिर उतरता नहीं और उतर भी गया तो फिर कहाँ उतरा मिलत नहीं और समझो मिल गया तो एक साथ नहीं मिलते कुछ यहाँ कुछ वहाँ और फिर समझो बटोर लाय तो बीवी घर में रखने नहीं देती...क्या करें ?"

Flying Brick....Wah Wah Wah!

FB and Iyer sir, I read this out to my wife of 30 years, and this is her comment:

Banana to seekh jaayenge, udana to seekh jaayenge, lekin Biwi ko manana to naseeb waalon ka kaam hai...

BTW, main bahut nasseb wala hoon. Biwi ko manana nahi padta...

Wah!!! Kya naseeb hai!
