J-3 cub with plug in wings
Wanting to know what j-3 Cub kits have plug in wings. Looking to build one with either a YS 120 or YS 63. Would like to build one in the .63 size if possible with plug in wings. (Reason: transporting) Will also be mounting floats. Any recomendations?

RE: J-3 cub with plug in wings
Then check out the Sig Kit. I've seen a thread here in RCU comparing the Goldberg Anniversary Edition, the Sig 1/5th, and the Great Planes J-3, and the Sig is the generally preferred kit. That's why I chose it. Here's some links to check out.

I think the YS63 is plenty strong enough. The YS63 is just as strong, if not stronger than the Saito 72, and maybe even the new Saito 82. I think I'd recommend you build the standard wing, not the clipped wing, version.

The Ikon N'West 1/5 scale Cub has the equivalent of plug on wings. They actually bolt to the side of the cabin and the wing struts are 100% functional. A YS .63 would be plenty to get it off the water. A 1.20 would be serious overfill and would be able to hover the model.
