Around March I started getting itchy to fly the Super Cub out of the water and back on dry land. I had been thinking of ways to attach tricycle landing gear to it and put the energy and enthusiasm I had to it. I used the rear wire from the floats, still attached to its slot, an extra Hextronik HXT900 servo in the cowl and a DuBro Nosewheel to make this happen. I put 3 Dave Brown 3-inch Lectra Lite wheels on. It turns very tightly. I flew it once but got no video of it. It lands smoothly and although take-offs are a bit rough, they work out just fine…

All is quiet in South Florida for the summer. Only a handful of RC events announced for the coming months and no swap meets yet. Time to build and build some more. More foam, please :) I need a slow bipe.

I’m building the Mach-3 by RCGroups.com user, chara. Pics and info.

Just got a MiniDV camera and shot a couple of videos this week over the lake here at The Moors in Miami Lakes.

I’ve added a few events coming to SFL in October, November and December. Included are the AMPS 50th Anniversary Festival on Halloween day and PBRCA’s Toys For Tots Fly-in in December. We can keep busy with other events like pylon racing and jets at Markham Park this November. Check it out in the Events Calendar.
