Can anyone tell me if RCAIIR is still around. I'm looking for the Netliz Cub short kit and have left all contact info via all means, web page, email and PM and have not heard from them.

Thanks,
MG

Has anyone had a problem with attaching wing to fuselage and trying to access the screws to bolt the wing to the fuse? I built the wing and the metal tube frame that joins the wings together and fits very well but I foresee a problem with trying to get the screws from the front due to the windshield in place.

Default Plans on DXF or DWG

Hello everybody.
I wanted to ask you if anyone has DXF or DWG Plans.

I'm sorry to hear of Larry Pierce passing on December 27, 2017. Larry was supplying some of the original Mylar's from the Bob Nelitz 1/3 J-3

I'm thinking about ordering the little metal parts vs cutting my own. Sending email inquiry Don.

Anyways I when with the polyfiber system because if your going to build a scale Cub then you need to use the system they use on the full size. Chip at stits.com([email protected] ) Can hook you up with everything you need to do the Cub Scale. Here is the list of what you will need to do the 1/3 scale Bob Nelitz J-3 Cub.

You will need 7 yards of fabric, a pint of POly Tak cement to attach it, 4 quarts of POly Brush to fill the weave and apply the finishing tapes, 3 quarts of Poly Spray to make the aircraft opaque so you don't see through it, and 3 quarts of White Poly Tone 4 quarts of Yellow Poly Tone and finishing tapes.

Thanks
Billy
Almost 11 years later I'm going to use this list. My Nelitz Cub is approaching the covering stages, although that may be 6 months +/- away.
