<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">Picked this up dirt cheap at the AMA Expo swap-meet and would like help figuring out who's kit it is. I think it's larger than 1/5th scale but doesn't seem large enough to be 1/4 scale. Firewall to tail measures 52.5". I figure another 12" for rudder @ cowl puts this somewhere around 64" in length. It is setup for a 2piece wing and does not have a door on the right side.</span><br style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; " /><br style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; " /><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">Any ideas as i need a cowl and window for it as well as wing/tail feather plans for it.</span>

Can somebody at least give me an idea as to what the wingspan should be based on the root & fuse measurements? I have access to multiple cub plans I just don't know the size to make the wing & tail feathers.

Well I KNOW it's not the same .60 size GP Cub kit I built a long time ago, that one was a single peice wing, the stats of that plane are:<pre>Wingspan: 90" 83" (clipped wing version) Length: 56.5" I never built a Sig kit so I duno how that builds but here are the stats on their 1/4 scale:</pre><table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td bgcolor="#EFEFEF"><font face="arial" color="#000000" size="2">Wingspan</font></td> <td bgcolor="#EFEFEF"><font face="arial" color="#000000" size="2">105 in</font></td> <td bgcolor="#EFEFEF"><font face="arial" color="#000000" size="2">2667 mm</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#EFEFEF"><font face="arial" color="#000000" size="2">Wing Area</font></td> <td bgcolor="#EFEFEF"><font face="arial" color="#000000" size="2">1600 in²</font></td> <td bgcolor="#EFEFEF"><font face="arial" color="#000000" size="2">103 dm²</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#EFEFEF"><font face="arial" color="#000000" size="2">Weight</font></td> <td bgcolor="#EFEFEF"><font face="arial" color="#000000" size="2">14 - 16 lb</font></td> <td bgcolor="#EFEFEF"><font face="arial" color="#000000" size="2">6350 - 7257 g</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#EFEFEF"><font face="arial" color="#000000" size="2">Length</font></td> <td bgcolor="#EFEFEF"><font face="arial" color="#000000" size="2">67 in</font></td> <td bgcolor="#EFEFEF"><font face="arial" color="#000000" size="2">1701 mm</font></td> </tr> </tbody></table><pre>so just by an educated guess-timate, I would think anywhere around 85-110" would be fine</pre>
