38 J-3 Cub
Laminated Rear Window frames Complete
This morning I removed the left rear window
laminated spline from the template and it came out just fine. I cut,
trimmed, and sanded the spline to fit inside the fuselage structure and
integrated the new rear window frame into the left side of the fuselage
structure as shown below. Replacing these two rear window frames took extra
time, but it is worth it to have the problem corrected.
I cut and beveled some 1/16" dowel to length and
glued in the two front fuselage braces as shown below.
Now I have started working on the dummy engine
cylinders. The laser cut parts for the four dummy cylinders are shown below.
As you can see, I have used the part to assemble the first cylinder.
This picture shows the first dummy cylinder
assembled and glued together. Any suggestions for what kind of black paint
to use to paint the cylinders, main wheels and tail
wheel?................Tandy
