As soon as someone video-tapes it.

Probably in a few months at our indoor Dome-fly.

Great looking cub ,

Yeah, your Spacewalker is the kind of thing I'm thinking of. It's not as impressive or as strong, and outdoors it's nowhere near as nice to fly. Indoors, though, wouldn't you say it's quite a lot better? I seem to remember a video of that plane flying easily in a pole barn.

Getting that type of wing stiff is a huge challenge, though. Maybe use two spars front and rear, linked with thin diagonal braces. If the plane was big enough, you could still do a two-surface airfoil so you have some thickness to add strength. The end result would be something like a CH10.

No question, the Spacewalker is easier to fly indoors, at least in a gym.

It has lots of diagonal braces.



I don't think the Cub will be any problem in a golf dome, which I plan to try within a few months.

Sorry it took so long, but finally, some video.

Takeoff, 2 laps and landing. I flew it for about 15 minutes today at a local indoor funfly at a golf dome.

Indoor Cub 0484 (1 min 4 sec)

I also flew my 56" Spacewalker and my 48" profile P51D Mustang, all scratch-built.

Same here. What a wonderful looking plane!

Thanks guys.

I've since flown it a few times more, and it's lots of fun!
