Ian Laing Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 A real model at last amongst all the ARF! RCM&E should have a competition for gliders such as this . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Green Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 No looking to be in the draw, I already have a copy of the plan, but this sort of thing should be in the mass build IMO. Maybe we should all build one. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn K Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Nothing stopping us having our own Cub competition. I suggest a towline length 50 feet you have 3 flights of (say) 30 seconds maximum duration (from release of towline) (Free flight - no radio!) If you manage 3x30 then you continue submitting flights in 15 second increments. 45, 60, 75 seconds etc until you fail. You then submit your total time. Your timekeeper can post your results here (on a new thread) if we are game for that. I suggest all flights must be completed within the month of April 2014 (time to build, trim and we will have light calm evening then). Any takers?

Andy Green Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I'm happy to build one, the delight with models like these is they can be built indoors, while watching TV, and not a cold workshop. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Etheridge 1 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Too late for me then?! I remember building the Jetex 50 version of the Cub back in the late 1950's. I thought both the glider and Jetex versions were shown on the same plan, but perhaps I am wrong? Keil Kraft provided a small amount of asbestos paper to stick behind the Jetex 50 under the fuselage. I can remember sanding the asbestos to ensure a good finish! The Cub flew successfully on one flight only and did a series of loops before hitting a tree at Duppas Hill Croydon.and that was that!

Mark Stevens 1 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Ken, As per your previous post, I was also brought up with this type of model before progressing into Control Line and then R/C. I have in fact built the KK Cub along with the Invader, Dolphin and Conquest. Also built many of KK'S rubber powered range. The largest of mine was the KK Senator. I have fond memories of many happy hours spent building and flying these. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken anderson. Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 yes - those were day's mike....when we had to build "super light" to get our creation's airborne ......we were reminiscing about the good old keil kraft kits when you had to cut out all the 1/16" formers for the fuz of a spit or hurricane...from some of the hardest balsa known to man..........with an old razor blade! ........then cover/dope it.......and then hope that it would at least leave terra firma for more than 5-10 second's......which they rarely did......... but it was all in the name of Fun.............. ken Anderson.......ne...1 Keil Kraft hardwood dept.........

kevin b Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Well done David. If anyone wants digital copies of any of the Keikraft kit plans PM me as I have a reasonable collection (and a few Veron). I may even be pursuaded to supply printed copies (at cost plus postage). kevinb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
