AS many Cub kits there are I'm surprised someone never offered a conversion kit like TF does with some of their warbirds.

I've been a Cub lover since my first ride in one when I was about 6. I own a 42 J-3F with a Continental C-90 and I have built 3 R/C Cubs and putted around in a friend's L-4 quite a bit...count me in if you have time to add me.

My friend's BUSA kit built L-4 visited my shop today. Well, at least the fuselage. We were comparing it to the fuselage that I'm building, a standard BUSA 1/4 Cub.

Hi. Will be building my 1/4 sig j3 cub real soon. How big a prop can this plane accomodate? I will use the DLE 35RA engine for which 18" to 20" props are recommended.

Also, will a one 10m roll of solartex be sufficient for this project?

Thanks in advance.

Where can I get a set of plans for 1/4 Sig? I was given an airframe and the squirrels chewed up the tail. I didn't see a place to order just plans on the sig site.

I don't want to give up my plans but I'll make you a copy of the tail drawings...PM me if you are interested.

I'll post a video of my Sig 1/4 CWC as soon as I can get it maiden flight done...Seattle rain. Maybe you guys will get a kick out of this video...I made this not long after getting a 1:1 Cub a few years ago. It's like having a dog in the family...you don't own it...it becomes it's own personality and friend

The standards definitely were lowered when they allowed me in.

I'm in, now. Maybe, if I behave, they'll let me stay.

Got the maiden done today! Couple clicks of down elevator...she flies beautifully!!! The engine still needs a bit of tweaking but it lifted off at half throttle!
