What Jr Nobler are you building? The kit or from plans?
Been looking for one quite a while now. Just more than i can pay on the Bay.

Hope this helps.

I got one half-built from about 20 years ago but it came with all the pieces and the wing and fuse were actually fairly straight and well built. I had one 20 years ago myself and with a Fox 15x it was the best flying plane I ever owned. Hopefully this one will be even better! I am re-using that same old Fox 15x (I was looking for a head earlier because the plug was stripped but I got one from Fox) and it always ran real good. I will surely run it more carefully these days than I did back then! I'm just getting back into CL and am having to find where to get everything that used to be so plentiful and cheap (relatively). Thanks for the tips!

What's the span of the Nobler jr.?
The son of the owner of our LHS was cleaning out his basement and found what looks to me like a Nobler...only smaller. I didn't know there was such a thing as a "junior" version...
This one has a 40" span.

That's the one. I will buy it if it's for sale!!!

Scott...you talkin' to me?

It's already built...not a kit...sorry.
The guy who built it did a decent job, it looks fairly straight, but when he painted it (with what looks like dark blue enamel house paint ) a lot of dust settled into the paint, and it has a 60 grit finish!
That, and the bellcrank / hinge job binds sumpthin' awful...

I would try to salvage it if at all possible. They fly great with a Fox 15x!!

Hey Scott - are you still looking for a Jr. Nobler? I have one I built around '81 or so. It has very light damage that I never fixed. It's sitting at my parents' but they're selling the house soon so I gotta do something with it and I don't have room to store it here.

I could always use another! I do actually have 2 now, one built and flying and one in the box. They do fly pretty good, if not a little light on the lines! It's been sorta windy here lately......... What do you want for it?

I would suggest you guys first check on how much it would cost to ship. I remember someone VERY upset over buying an airplane on ebay only to find that the shipping cost was well over a hundred bucks (don't remember exact figure).

Good luck.
