Default RE: Converting a J3 To a Super Cub


Thank you to those that have posted info!

Simply bolting on the cowl is a littel less than I plan to do. One thing I was hoping for is for somone who has used the cowl I bought mentioned in this post... to see how much I would have to modify the fuse. Maye someone will have this specific info to share!

Started collecting the bits, to build the Super cub.

I have 2 kits of the busa J3,Some of the framing, has been started just a matter of picking back up, where I left off. I intend to make one a J3 in the classic lockhaven yellow, The other a Super Cub, good chance it will be some combination of white and red.

Years ago we put Quadras in them, since I have 2, this is the intended engine of choice. Presently I have a SIG J3 I have been flying over the last 15 years with a Quadra 35. Its getting near retirement so the reason for a new J3. Nothing fly's like CUB!!!

I have been Modeling Scale planes for over 25 years, so I have a good collection of supplies, to feed the projects. Being laid off right now helps get the fire going again. No Honey do Projects allowed till at least one is framed up and ready for covering.

Picked up buy chance a Robart landing gear set from the LHS. Just happen to be there on the shelf.

Ordered Graeme Mears three view drawings from http://www.bobsairdoc.com/ Bob Banka.

Called and order the PA18 cowl to help convert the J3 to a Super Cub from..... http://www.fiberglassspecialtiesinc.com/ they do not have it in stock and are back ordered for 2 weeks.

Once I get things laid out will post some pictures.
