I was introduced to models at a cub scout camp out in mid-80s. I had been big into RC Cars but I picked up my first kit, the Great planes Electric Cub in '92. Built it and before I flew it had a teacher to sell me a Headmaster 40 with the old, converted gold Futaba setup. Solo in first of '94 and the sky has been the limit. Wish my dad had been alive longer to get some stories but the guy he worked for had an old Cub in the barn and would make delivers with it.
Many call me the Cub Man as I have an interest in the old yellow rag wing plane. I have 8 flying cubs now and a few nonflying ones. I’m also a scale nut and like to make them as real as I can. The photo is of my ¼-scale scratch build from my own plans. Having a background in AutoCAD I drew the plans from the full scale. I’m currently building a 1/3-scale super cub from my own plans.
I try to take any chance I get to help and promote this hobby. Love putting a plane or two on display and setup a flight sim so folks can give it a try.
