Curtiss-Wright CW-I Junior - 2006/10
I’M INTO electric-powered model
aircraft and wanted a simple,
friendly flier with which to put one
of those new outrunner motors into
action. I’ve constructed J-3 Cubs,
Cessnas, etc., but I had never built
a pusher. The old CW-1 looked
cute, and its curved tail feathers
looked like an easy laminating
challenge. I was hooked.
Chic-Ah-Dee
TRACING a project to its beginnings can be harder than you'd think. But with the RC Electric Chic-Ah-Dee, pulling out the facts was easy. Lying around in my workshop were eight six-cell battery packs (left over from an Old-Timer Comet Clipper powered by an Astro Flite geared cobalt 15)-yet the only kits I had available required seven-cell packs and 05 motors. What to do with the six-cell packs? Picking a motor system was easy-I decided on an Astro Flite cobalt 035. Picking a plane was harder. I'm partial to models that look like full-scale airplanes-Cubs, oldies, Cessnas, or the like. I found a few realistic kits, but none of them met all my needs. The Great Planes Cub might have come close, but it needed the usual 05 motor and seven cells. The Cub also had too much wing (57 in.) and too much weight (48 oz.). Even for a seasoned kit-basher like me, modifications looked impossible.
