50% Hempel Cub
selleri:
Not too bad! ;)
Standing on its own legs for the first time! :)
selleri:
Adding the windows.
What ever it takes...
You don't lift this one with your thumbs!
PULL!
This much was needed to level her out.
2.8kg of quality steel but we'll reduce it by moving it further front.
Cannisters in place.
Cutting the cowl.
About that CG...
Perfect!
selleri:
The much needed nose weight has been installed.
Front window getting stuck.
Final touches on the exhaust.
Hmmm, the ceiling is a bit low isn't it!?
Out in the daylight for the first time.
Inside a trailer.
Not much else you can fit in compared to what it can take.

The big day finaly came on Saturday, I had the pleasure of handling the maiden and it flew brilliantly. Not sure about the performance on the DA170 as this is a big draggy airframe so no comment on the suitability of towing glass slippers with this one, at least not with the homemade exhaust system.

Better to have some helpers to do the assembly.
Getting closer.
And up she went.
The owner pretty happy after getting his thumbs on the sticks.
Fringe benefits of having a large model! ;)
selleri:
We also had a great day on Sunday so I'm including some media from that too.
Pinky shows up at 1:56 and the Cub at 4:50.

El grando planos.
The K8B pilot is finaly giving tows! ;)
:cool:
Good to have a shelter from the sun!
Pinky used to be considered pretty big not so long ago!
Can't go wrong with the classics!
