hi tony i just got back into the rc hobby after a 15 year break and when i found your post i was amazed the detale and the inginuety is stagering I have been reading it from start to finish andwhen i got to the end of page 7, the last page i was very upset i tryed to refresh the site and to find page 8 but it wasent there then looked at the date and relised that your last post was on 12/17/07 not that long ago so now i feal better since i can follow the build to the end. im building a balsa usa 1/4 scale j3 now and plan on the 1/3 super cub next i was also talking to my uncle about your build and said that i want to find a j3 around here [bethel park near pittsburgh] and he told me that oneof the guys we shoot with on the pistole legue was the salesman for piper in this region so im planing on picking his brain soon and finding a good example to photograph. the j3 was the first one my dad soloed in and i have bumed a ride in one back on longisland as well as a L4 in cooperstown in NY this is a sign at the cooperstown airport that you might like i hope it works i have never done this before any way thanks for all the effort you have put in to posting the build for all of us to enjoy and learn from. now please get back to work !
