| That plane looks great. Is that tail wheel foam also? |
| simpleflyer, Comment for image # 3051 | 01 Jun 07 15:16 |
| Oh, the wheels are I" in dia and laminated from two pieces of approx 1/8" thick foam. |

| Thanks and yes, Brian. Thanks, John, the wheels were made from scrap black foam. Go to this link: http://tinyurl.com/29zmzt
It will take you to a thread at SmallFlyingArts. Page 15 and scroll down to message #288. I illustrate and describe the procedure that I use. |

| Outstanding model..hope it is a good flyer for you. I, too, am interested in what kind and where you got the wheels...JGJ |

| Very nice indeed... are those foam wheels? |

Rubber motor installed. 2 loops of 1/8 tan SS. Test flights indicate that it wants to fly. Needs some trim, wants to drop the left wing. |

Airframe completed. Motor installation and test flights next. |

| Thanks, Brian, to expedite the completion, I'm going to follow your idea of painting the side windows in with marker pen and installing a paper front windshield. |

| Looking good! |

Tissue applied. Cub will soon be done. |

Skeleton view. Will use yellow tissue for the wings and tail and white for the fuse. |

| Thanks, Brian, for the comment. Our Cub is OK, but not that great. The soft focus of our 'EasyShare Kodak' and image size editing overlooks many small structural imperfections. |

| This already looks better that mine... Brian |

Fuselage is done. |
| simpleflyer, Image # 2963 | 22 May 07 19:04 |
Subassemblies are glued up. |

A few more bits today and the tail parts are dry and sanded. No part #s on the diecut parts. Lightly sanded them off so they would not show thru the tissue cover after application. |

Tail surfaces framed. The die cut wood in our kit was very light, almost fragile. But the stripwood was firm. If, built carefully, it should be a good flier. |
