Christian Sturm's Experimental Super Cub Project

Tail Group Tail Group


I have purchased a balanced tail group kit from Wag Aero, sans rudder.


The Wag Aero kit is unfabricated but most forming is done. Just need to final fit and weld.


Rudder update: I will build my own rudder.  I bought some raw materials as well as a rudder rib set and control horn from www.supercubs.com (Alaska Airframes).  This should save $250 over buying new.


Project Status: Project Status: 7/19/2006 - Rudder done. All tail surfaces complete. Starting fuselage parts.
2/14/2008 - Updated some notes about the elevator fitup.
