Phantom2 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Hi all! Late to the party, as always! Alas, here´s my build, or it will be one of these, haven´d decided yet! Cheers! Stefan Shaka HI, cib2265, Zero77 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I like the red one, if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Boillot Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I like the floats one ... Now the views are balanced. That helps, doesn't it ? Hubert BradG and mark31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom2 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Nope, I like the Yellow one more... Probably It will be the all Yellow, (normal)wheeled Super Cub, I have a soft spot for little yellow aeroplanes, see. Cheers! Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Boillot Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Nothing like some friends' help to firm up your views Hubert (still liked the floaty thing better, though ) mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Stefan Great entry and for me, a Cub, is Yellow with a black stripe and reg number and a Super Cub is white with red trim. Nothing like flying either on a arm summer day with the split clamshell door open and the wind blowing in. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 For my 1 1/4cent ( Canadian money being what it is) the one with floats is the one....., to my old four eyes a Super Cub just doesn't look right with little wheels, bush wheels is where it's at for this old dog.... just sayin...

geedubelyer Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Hi Stefan, Why not build both? Whichever you decide to build, it's good to see you in the GB. Have fun. Cheers. Shaka HI and mark31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom2 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 I love the floatplane too, I´m still undecided so we´ll see... Peter, I have very fond memories from the Super Cub as I´m an old gliderpilot (120hrs, 25 years since last flight) and have been tugged(?) many, many times by Cubs, Colts, Pawnee and Moth. I´ll agree that a Super should be white with red trim and a Cub should be Yellow, btw, in Sweden we usually call the Cub a "Lillcub", ie. little cub. I really love these planes and have flown in them many times too as a passenger. Cheers! Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0t0rdr1ver Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Floats! You could even strap a scale canoe and paddles to the side of the struts for that extra bush feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Floats! Floats! Floats! (as if you couldn't tell which one I liked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dog Flying Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) I was building this for a buddy who helped with the restoration of my Grumman Yankee..until Mother Nature did me a nasty. It is a beautiful kit. Barney Edited January 8, 2017 by Old Dog Flying KiwiZac, Zero77 and Shaka HI 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
