RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Dr. Pepper and sj3cub,
So many engines to choose from, my fingers are about worn out searching the web for that perfect combination!! Lots of nice choices and now that i'm convinced a gasser won't fit well i've been looking at twins, Saito and O.S. and as far as the price tag, dr. pepper's got it right but I may have to keep the dog house I was about to give away! [X(] I requested no N numbers when I ordered mine but got them anyway except for the wing...they look like vinyl and a friend said he has removed vinyl numbers on planes and cleaned the surface with acetone...i've yet to try it but will be removing mine. I was going to use my ama number like this NC40403 but in searching real ones most seem to have no numbers on the fuse and only small numbers on the rudder....guess it all depends on location and when they were built because there are a few with the number on the fuse side. The traditional J3 cub was yellow and most super cubs with few exceptions were white with blue, green or red trim. I did find two yellow super cubs and both are seaplanes. sj3 cub, i'd be interested in what 2 part paint you're using and orvel I like the flex pipe idea, will be using the same on mine...still leaning toward the OS160 twin. Oh yeah...dr. pepper, thanks on the floats...you don't want to know, only took three years off and on to finish but i'm a patient rascal, guess that's why I build more than I fly.
