Default RE: PA-25 pawnee

DaveB, Not really. You need to move the wing mounting blocks to the bottom of the fuselage and cut the fuselage sides to match the rib outline. I think the hard part would be lengthening the fuselage forward of the wing and balancing the plane. The Pawnee has a longer nose than a cub or Super Cub. The GP Cubs have balsa fuselage sides with inner ply reinforcements so once the cutouts were made the wing would mount just like any other low wing plane. The gear would have to be mounted in the wing because of the way the wing is mounted. I need to pull the plans out and see exactly what kind of cutting would be required.
I was hopping that someone here had already done this bash and could help me with the detailes.
