Profile Scale UC stunt model. There are 2 K & B .15 engines in my model that you see hanging over the
PLANS
. But two O.S. 10 engines would do just as well.
Old Timer Tip
: Pop used larger engines than those shown on the
PLAN
(an O.K. Cub .09 & an .074) because he covered his model with 1/16 soft balsa sheet so that it would last and last. Tissue covering eventually cracks or tears & you have to recover the model down the road. But with soft sheet balsa, if you put a couple of drops of castor oil in the dope (for a plasticizer) the surface does not crack open over time.
As a
BONUS
I include numerous copies of vintage 3-view scale documents to increase your admiration of this wonderful airplane.
