Default Great Planes Piper Cub J-3 Size 20

Great build thus far and coming along well. Question regarding the Wing attaching to the fuse. Should the wing sit on top of or in front of the F-3 former?

Can't wait to fly it and start on the floats for the plane this summer.

Thanks - Hansen

Here is the manual, you could look it up (as Yogi would say)

Great, I'll look there as well as the copy I have and see if I can figure it out.

Cheers - Hansen

According to the plans, the wing is just forward of the fuselage bulkhead. The trailing edge is touching the bulkhead on the forward side. The side-view of the fuselage shows that clearly.

Thanks for the reply. I also sifted through the manual again, many times and noticed on page 27 Step 3 it shows it as well. I guess I should have looked closer at the plans as well. Just need to mount the tail and the rest should fall into place quickly.

Also noticed this kit is discontinued which is to bad.
