Default RE: FMS J3 Cub Rebuild...

Hi EdgardoJr,

Here's some before and after pics of my “handy work”.

I haven't tried flying it after I repaired it (I'm a little gun shy) so I can't say it's flyable but it does feel solid and, hopefully, is not too heavy now.

Fortunately, my wings were pretty much intact but I had read that polyurethane (Gorilla Glue) and toothpicks or, better yet, bamboo barbeque skewers can give quite a strong joint. I've used that combination on my fuselage. The only new purchased part is the motor.

The new landing gear is homemade...brazed welding rod.

Good Luck on your repairs.

Bill.
