Default RE: FMS J3 Cub Rebuild...

Nice looking repair job.

I lost the wing struts on my J3 in a relatively minor crash on my first or second flight. I had read that they provide very little structural support for the wing, the major support comes from the wing spar, so I didn't try to repair or replace them.

At this point in my flight training I'm more concerned with getting back on the ground without damage than “scale” issues. As you can see from my previous pic's, I still have work to do!

The absence of the wing struts wasn't the cause of the my last crash.
