Status: offline 		I recently bought a 1/4 scale cub kit built, I need a windshield and cowl for it, not knowing the make of the kit I know its going to be hard to find but if I get a close fit, I can make it work, I think the cowl for the hangar nine cub will work but the windshield is backordered indifinately, any idea's I am converting it to L4 so I will need more clear for the sunscreen. I found this poor thing sitting in the back of a hangar and it was in definate need of tlc ....thanks

Status: offline 		You can order a glass cowl from Fiberglass Specialties, I think there cowl will fit the GP, CG and SIG Cub without a problem, it needs to be cut to size. I made up new windows for a CG Cub by cutting out a tracing of the windows then cutting forms from 1/8 light ply, used K&S plastic and my heat gun to make new ones. I heated up the plastic, set it over the wood frame and pressed the cut out over the hot plastic to form them. Worked for me.

Status: offline 		The GP and Goldberg Cubs are not 1/4 scale. Their cowls will be too small for a 1/4 scale Cub.

I don't believe that the Hangar 9 Cub is actually 1/4 scale, either. I think that it is a bit smaller.

If memory serves me, the BUSA and Sig Cubs have different fuselage widths, which would keep the cowls from being interchangeable.

If you could post a few pics, some showing the cabin interior, maybe someone could identify which Cub you have. It would make it easier to order a cowl.
