Default World Models Piper J-3 Cub – 48

The WM Cub has a metal rod(about .375" dia.) for a wing joiner with a metal alignment pin near the trailing edge. One of the guys in the club has a WM Intruder and never glued it together. Uses the holddown bolts to retain the wing. It would be possible to do the same with the WM Cub and have two halves to make it easier to carry. I have also read that the fuel tank stopper will shrink after some time and let the fuel leak. Hasn't happened to me yet, but I'm watching for it. I carry one of my 84" planes in my Honda Civic with no trouble.
