RE: Sig 1/4 J3 Kit converted to PA-18 Super Cub (Build)
I haven't been able to spend much time working on the Super Cub due to the heat. Unfortunately I don't have air conditioning in my garage and I am not really a fan of being in there when it is 100+ Degrees. As the weather cools off I will be spending a lot more time building.
Today, I was able to sneak into the garage and start the construction of the fuselage. The balsa parts of the fuselage sides are solid 5/16" balsa and possibly due to their thickness are uncut with the parts printed on them. This requires a little time cutting. I used my scroll saw with a new fine blade installed to make the initial cuts and finished trimmed the parts on the disc / belt sander. Was a little nervous cutting the parts but once I got going all went well.
I sanded up to the line but not through it. I figured bigger was better and if needed I can sand the parts further for a perfect fit.
