Description: This rebuild of the stock FS2004 Piper Cub. New fuselage and wings UV mapping to fix the lousy texture mapping. The Clipped Wing Cub has removes around 40 inches from the roots of each wing and make the Cub more acrobatic.

With the model being made for FS04 (or FSX) all of the virtual cockpit's clickable switches and things like that should be working. Key frame animations are used and a good number of the animations are done. Model is Multi LOD. Also works in my copy of FSX Gold. I'm not a FS04 or FSX person so if change need to be made feel free to do so.

Description: This rebuild of the stock FS2004 Piper Cub. New fuselage and wings UV mapping to fix the lousy texture mapping. De-mirror textures. Fitted with a nose gear kit that was produced around late 1948 and has clipped wings that removes around 40 inches from the root of each wing to make the Cub more acrobatic.

There is a surprise combination! Great!
I was surprised that on the real Cub tri-gear that the main gear was only flipped around and not moved or slanted backwards more. And that you could still climb into and fly from the rear seat solo without dragging the tail.

Thanks again from all us puddle jumper guys!

Thanks as well for the reference pictures and articles you included with the model. Brings back memories.

Excellent! Nice job!

They really show the classic era when light plane flying was so much simler than it is now.

Thanks for all the effort on the Cubs. It was a great era for light planes and fun flying. The clipped tri-gear probably would have been nice in the mid-west with its high winds and all.

Thanks again

You did a great job, we needed a cub with the nose gear mod. :applause:
The dynamics are a blast, no muss and no fuss- it just flies. :wiggle:
 
Allen,
Thanks for the new USAAC paint scheme. Looks good on the taildragger as well.

I appropriated Micks L4 arctic float repaint and put it the taildragger for variety and it looked good too. Thanks Mick.

Nice family of Cubs!

If you haven't noticed already, when you put that skin on wheels the bottom of the gear legs are black or dark OD and the hubcaps don't match the white base color. The main textures of that plane in the post-war set corrects those things.
 
Mick,

Thanks for the info and the great work. I was just glad to have something other than Cub yellow! The white and red gave the plane a bit of a "Harold Krier" look. He had one of the prettiest clipped cubs I ever saw.
