Default What Cub?

I know this is not exactly a warbird question but I picked up a Piper J3 Cub in bones (uncovered) and the wingspan is 90". The previous did not know what make it was. I need to get a cowl for it but need to know what make it is. Help! Paul

Get in touch with Fiberglass Specialty and tell him what the height an width is that you need. He may have something that fits. Dan..

To me, it sounds like you may have the GP Cub, ,60. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...P?I=LXJ569&P=8

Tom's right. It is a GP 60 size Cub w/ full wing. The structure built around the wing tips and fuselage is just like the instructions show. The cowl and window parts are still available but I'll use the one from Fiberglass Specialties as it is better quality. Thanks to all! Paul
