I am planning to kit build a 1/4 Scale Piper J-3 Cub this fall and winter for the 2014 flying season. Kit choices that I have identified are: 1)BALSA USA; 2) Sig Manufacturing and 3) Great Planes. I currently have a 6' canopy covered pick up to haul my planes to the air field with; I'll have my 8' canopy pick up ready sometime but not now (I can glue balsa or twist wrenches but not both at the same time). I think the Great Planes and clipped wing Sig Manufacturing kits are out because they build as 1-piece wings (too long for the short bed truck). That leaves the full span Balsa USA and Sig Manufacturing kits built with 2-piece wings as possible contenders. I am one step away from fully mastering my Hobbico NexStar 46 Trainer, wanting to move onto a tail dragger, mild aerobatics and possibly some off-field flying (desert dirt roads are quicker to drive to than the club air field 20 plus miles away). My current RC is an ARF but I have had past experience kit and scratch building control line airplanes. I see this plane being powered by a 20cc to 30cc gas engine (or a 75 to 90 2-cycle glow) fully enclosed top and sides in the cowl, controlled with a mix of standard and high torque Futuba servos and hauling a minimum 16 oz. fuel tank.What experience do you accomplished kit builders have with the Sig Manufacturing and Balsa USA kits and with the specific kits I am considering? Any endorsements, recommendations, warnings, suggestions or similar feedback will be greatly appreciated.Best regards, LARRYLarry Bodyfelt, AOPA, EAA, AMA, IMAC, IMAA, FAA Private Pilot-Single Engine LandGiant Sportster and Ultra Sport 1000 Fan form Wyoming
