As the weather is crap I finally started the SIG Piper Cub Build. I have moved on quite well as I have built the two bottom sections of the side fuselage and both match and are strait.I will post pictures up as I go along

Must be something wrong if your fuselage is straight Shocked

Same side but with the Ply sheeting on, this is just for strength and the only area to have it.

What glue are you using?

Subject: Re: SIG Piper Cub 1/4 scale Wed 27 Feb 2013, 8:42 am

Looks like CA on those cross beamsto me..... bounce

The glue I am using is a combination of three types: wood yellow glue, Two part Epoxy and as Ray said CA. OK it looks nasty when it spreads but when covered with sola- tex you will not see it.
The next thing to do is sand back the tail end to a taper in preparation for joining.But that will be later today as I need to hang around down stairs for a parcel to be delivered.

This is what I need to do next, This is not my one but a build on RC universe.

Right hand side, you can see the door section has been cut out as I have decided to use the door to tighten up the wing bolts rather that through the small window on the middle section of the wing.
