Default Piper PA 18 Super Cub #3106 "Robbe"

I have just finished a 50 year old Cub that I purchashed at an estate sale. It was made in germany by robbe. It has a 83" wing span w/ ailerons and flaps. The wing is 12" wide.
recommended weigt is 9.2lbs. I need advise on where to set the center of gravity. Also my finished weigt is 10.4 lbs. The recommend 2 cycle engine is .40. I have installed an Evolution
46NT but I am not sure what size prop to use or if the engine is enough to fly this over-weight
puppy. Please advise.

That will probably fly it in a very scale-like manor - which means it will be very slow.

The Evo 46 likes to swing an 11x6 or 7

You could try that first, or maybe go to a 12x5

I can't imagine an 11 or 12 inch prop getting a 10lb plane off the grass, maybe a paved runway. A 30cc gasser would pull it well but a .40 you got be kidding,

Hi

I have a kit. However, I miss the blueprints for the construction kit.
Could I buy a copy of the drawings?

Just to make sure we are talking about the same kit,these are for a Robbe Piper Super Cub kit #3106 .I've bought another one with the plans.There is only one building
guide so I will try and copy the inportant sections.There in six different languages,what one do you want.If you want english I will have to copy it and send that,if you want a different one I can remove it from the booklet and send that to you.Let me know.

Hi
Yes its for no 3106 Robber Super Cub.
It does not matter which of the languages German or English, both works for me, (even more preferably Swedish of course.)
I want to pay for your costs
