standing up, the dimples from the supports are easily sandable and now are smooth |

you might be a redneck if you put your new 3d printer ontop of your old 2d printer. |

| Very good work there Crob. I hope that you did'nt build on that super surface there! |

| Yes, real nice for your first balsa effort. I like the alum. tape idea. |

| crob, Welcome to the forum! Balsa is a much different medium then plastic. I've done both all my life, but am focusing now on balsa with 3D printed details. I'm looking forward to hearing about your experiences. |

Last photo for a while, here is the progress ont he cad gear that will be 3D printed. will add brake line, rotors, and bolt heads too. thanks |

using 5x7 flash cards to mimic the real alum. panels. Covered in alum. tape for details to be pressed into, rivets, panel lines etc. |

Here is my Cub 95 - first balsa model! Long time plastic builder converted over, mostly. 3D printed landing gear and details on the way. |

| Hello and thanks,
This build is actually about 30 years old, my dad built it for my grandfather. He used steel welding rods for the fuselage and the guillows cub 95 kit for the wings and feathers covered in Monokote. Its quite heavy and sinks like a rock - just like the real one... 30 years hasn’t been so kind, so I took it down and did a full restoration and repaint. My grandfather was a fireman, hence the pilot figure. He passed several years ago, this restoration was done for my moms birthday - also a Breezy owner and pilot. I'm basically the only one in my family that doesn't fly - yet...

| Yay - that's a great pic - does Grandpop still fly? |

| Nice one! I always "fancied" one of these in my flying days. Bought a Lazair 111e instead as less costly. |

| Thanks for posting these. This looks like it was a fun build with all that exposed framework!
