Hello guys.
I'm building a Sig 1/4 scale Piper J3 Cub, I'm getting ready to start on the wing. I have a few questions on modernizing the wing for transporting. I know the wing comes apart for transporting as per the plans, but was wanting to make it a 3 piece where the wing panels plugs into the center suction. Has anyone here done that? I just kinda need to know where to start. I've been building RC planes since the early 70s, but have never build a 1/4 scale Cub, they've all been 1/5 scale float planes, so I'm not a newbie kit builder, just looking for a little advice to keep me out of making a mistake. I know I can figure it out on my own, but thought to check here and see what idea's I can get before I start. Not sure what size aluminum pipe to use, was thinking maybe 1/2 toward at the main spar and 3/8s aft. I also wanna get the dihedral right.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
