I'm glad an old guy is keeping up with technology but "Come On Man". Enough with the tweets already. It's time to take his phone away and send him to his room without supper.

Mate, just be careful it's not a really old dried out kit. Our Melbourne summers can get bloody hot in a tin shed where they are often stored. You may need to use conventional wood glue.

The plans may be for the L-4 kit that they produced. Since the construction is similar to their Cub, I don't see why they couldn't be used to modify the 1/4 Cub kit.
