Just about the time Bill H. comes out with his 50% cub, i was half-way done with my 1/3 scale cub in the Harold Krier scheme. It's actually a World Models Super Cub with 141" span. I put a Kroma 100 on it and it has excellent (although still cub-like) aerobatic abilities. Pictured is the set of short wings Scott Morgan cut the cores for. These wings are custom airfoiled by Scott with a semi-symetrical design. i am about to cover those wings...the span will be 118". I think it will react like a well powered TaylorCraft. Warren Peitch and Duane Cole come to mind.

That looks awesome Tim, as much fun as you had with Papa Reddish's I'll bet you will really wring this thing out.

Looks great Tim. Hope the airfoil and the wings live up to your expectations. Personally I think you will have more fun with this size than the 50%.Just not as impressive on the ground but twice as fun in the air. Looks great . Let me know how the airfoil works. Hope to see you at Texarkana this year. I'll have my new laser with the edge wings. Scott

I flew the Cub with the wings Scott had cut out for me. They are a great combination! Point rolls with very little roll coupling and almost no pitch coupling. Look forward to taking this on the road this year!

Way to go Tim! Harold was a Kansas boy. I saw the real cub fly about 15 years ago. I have a scratch designed 1/3 scale Krier Craft Bipe all framed up in my attic. I took scale pics and measurments from the real thing in the Ashland Kansas Museum. Maybe I'll finish it some day. I'd love to get some stick time on your cub. I promise to pay for all damages!!!!!!!!! Mike Hammel |
