Thanks Cub Man!
I know there's been 1/4 Scale J-3 Cubs that's had the door & window cut out as an "afterthought". Once you do that your committed to completing the door/window modification. I have started doing the reinforcement, not sure if I understand all that the Cub Den has suggested doing, but I am going to try their suggestion, it's not going to be easy. Drilling along side the 5/32 wire, is almost imposable, I've tried. In fact, I'm thinking of soldering the reinforcement 1/8th piano wire to the 5/32 cabin wire. I'm not sure of doing that, but thinking of trying it. I'll take pictures as I go and post them here.
I would still like to hear from people that has done that or just any kind of reinforcing the area after cutting out the door/window area. Maybe some folks hasn't reinforced this area at all and the cub is still flying.
Let me know!
