I have been reading a lot here on this forum lately about the various Cub kits. This has started me to think about building another one. I have already built (3) different Cubs over the past 30+ years (all have been Sig kits, 1/6th (2), and 1/4 clipped wing), but I think it might be time for a fourth! This time, I think I'll try a different approach. This new build will most likely be a J-3 conversion to a PA-11. The only stumbling block at this stage of the game is where can I get accurate 3-view technical drawings to make the changes to the kit (Sig 1/6th scale). I'm sure someone out there has done this conversion before, any suggestions?
Thanks,
Thanks,

In my continuing research in regards to this conversion, I found this site http://www.supercubproject.com/drawings/ I have not gone through all the different pages, but it appears to have just about everything I need. Are there any other sites that might be of interest?

Here are some PA-12 construction pics of a 1/6 Sig Cub conversion. I used Paul Matt drawings to do this. The cowl is in the 'plug' form and I will make a mold of it this spring in order to make the actual part. The door comes off to access the inside for the wing panels are plug in and removable. The aileron servo leads are routed thru the false cabin struts. The elevator horn is hidden and it has a tow release- whew! I just need to cover and paint it- red and cream- beauty!
