Default a good .25 sized J3 cub

Hi guys and gals,
I am learning to fly this summer, and I would like to build a new plane while I am learning. I enjoyed building my LT-25, and I want to get into scale planes. I like the look of the piper J3 cub, and I want to be able to fly it with floats next summer at our cottage. Do you know of one that will work with floats and a thunder tiger .25?

It is not laser cut (unless they have updated it recently) I have built the 40 size, and I can tell you that the parts and instructions are excellent!

If you want a Cub in that size then you won't go wrong with this one. MiinFlyer speaks the truth.

sorry, one more thing.
with a cowl, is there any chance of the engine over heating?

This won't be a problem. I just checked the manual on line and the cowl instructions are very clear.

I'm building this kit now and its a nice kit most of the parts are die-cut with a few laser cut parts. The wood quality is very good and the instructions are first rate. Also a nice looking little plane! Go ahead and get one you won't be sorry.
