65 J-3 Cub Wing
Struts & Window Patterns
I have not make a lot of progress on the J-3 Cub today, but a little. I finished with the two wing struts shown below. I sanded the leading and trailing edges of the struts and gave each two coats of clear dope as shown below. I want to sand the beveled edges to fit the wing/fuselage junctures before I paint them Cub yellow.
I will be using the .005" styrene material shown
below for making the windows and windshield.
I purchased some Super RCZ56 adhesive
shown below to bond the Styrene with. Do you have a recommendation for a
better adhesive than this?
I called Mike Midkiff today and we discussed the
procedure of making the side window and windshield. The velum side window
pattern is shown on the plan below.
The velum side window pattern is shown on the Cub
fuselage below.
This shows the velum pattern tracing for the
windshield on the plan. Like I said, not much progress, but a
little..........................Tandy
