first was securing the battery box with the lollipop method  then was the landing gear  then the wing struts which i used strimmer wire and velcro  and i also moved the the reciever up and cut a hole in the battery box cause i found it frustrating gettin the battery in and out so now it just slides in nicely  and finally got bigger wheels on the front and a bigger tail wheel   |

I like the mod's and you will to I ditched my cub yesterday becuase a bunch of kids came running towards me and I had to get it back down quick I was testing a new gear box I just put in. It was a hard hit on the nose but the cowling didn't shatter becuase I taped the inside and one pcs of duck tape around the outside.
If you haven't be sure to tape the leading edges of the wings and tips I did this after knocking out a chip, also I taped around the front and rear of the fuse were they seem to crack after smacking nose first and end over end crashs.

Can someone exlain me how to secure the battery box with the two sticks of wood? which glue (epoxy?) how to align the battery box cover since the sticks have 1mm width? Therefore the cover will only be fixed on the sticks and there will be a 1mm width empty space along the sides of the cover? can someone post 2 pictures showing how the wooden sticks are fixed? (sorry for my english, I better speak french... :  Thank you first was securing the battery box with the lollipop method |

Bonjour, mon ami francais! (Now I must write in anglais . . . ;D) Remove the battery box cover from the bottom of the fuselage. Then carefully cut out two places (front and back) the same depth as the wood. Cut the wood to size and use epoxy to glue them in place. Now, the battery box cover should fit flat again, on top of the wood. Drill small holes through the battery box cover into the wood and secure with screws. Watch these two videos: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjtM_faxRu4 and www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWN0nQwW3sE&feature=fvwrel. He uses a special tool to cut his fuselage but you can use a sharp little knife. I hope this is useful. Bonne chance! |

Thank you Renard80 ;D This video is exactly what I needed  Now I understand how the piece of wood can fit in that place. I'm so happy  This Super cub plane is amazing because it can be repared so easily. By the way, I want to share with you my experience with a cool ultra light weight foam filler that is perfect for filling holes or scratches once my cub crashes. It's the Hobbico Hobbylite Filler. Take the blue one (the red is for balsa) www.hobbico.com/accys/hcar3400.html |
