Whoops ,incidence is the angle of atack on wing,should have said dihedral, -

I have pushed the wings up tight to centre section,put some heavy batteries on the centre section,which gives me just under 1/2 an inch under each wingtip,will block up wing tips at 1/2 inch before glueing. so that works out at 1 degree of incidence according to my calculator.will get my evostick wood glue out tomorrow and glue it up. -

Thanks John I shall probably stick with the wood glue,I think the dihedral was 1 1/2 inches under each wingtip. Thanks for the download instructions Martin not sure if I have got this wrong,both wing ribs for joining are at 90 degrees,should the wing rib w1 have been glued later,got a photo now at last not sure how I got it here though. -

Danny,i believe the model cub flies better with a bit of dihedral.I did take some photos but couldnt get them off my iphone on to here,will try again,much easier on my laptop. John ,im still at it still building,that sounds a better idea better than filling it with araldite,should i join the left hand wing to centre section with my wood glue (green bottle) or araldite,doesnt seem strong enough to me,needs strengthening,i suppose the struts may help a bit. Hows your cub coming on? Chris -
Hi,i am building a sig piper cub 1/4 scale now got as far as joining the left wing to the centre section,problem is there is a gap at the back between the two wing ribs i am about to glue ,and the wing looks flat , not much dihedral, should i use epoxy resin araldite to fill in gap or put some balsa in there and block the wingtips up for correct dihedral

Motor squealing at full power
christopher small replied to christopher small's topic in All Things Model Flying
First thing i shall do is swap the ESC,then try some 3 in 1oil,if all that fails it will be another motor. That was interesting about soaking the bearings etc,I don't think I shall go that far. -

Probably is the blue series,I have found the instructions for it,but it doesn't tell you much,some of them look really complicated.How can I put a photo of it on here,years ago I used to use photo bucket.can I do it direct off my iPhone..? -
