| Nosing over on take off and / or landing is all part of the “fun” with most scale tail draggers; unfortunately we have to use full scale grass which can be the equivalent of a full size aircraft using a runway sown with mowing grass, I think that would cause them a few problems.
Ground looping is also a common problem; I’ve resorted to using a heading hold gyro on my Parnall Elf, which is effective but a lot more expensive than 3º toe in. I’ll be very interested to see how well it works.
Flying a scale model doesn’t generally involve “throwing” the model around the sky in great abandon at full throttle but to do it correctly takes skill and practice, stick at it and you’ll soon be flying your Cub in true scale fashion and then you’ll appreciate what scale modelling is all about. You might have to take a bit of stick from the younger “top guns” in the club for as they see it “just stooging around the sky”, but you’ll know better.
I like the end fittings on the wing struts, have you used aluminium weld? I saw some being demonstrated at this years Nats. and was very impressed; so much so I was nearly tempted to part with some of the folding stuff, but I resisted in the end! |
