[simpits-tech] Slightly OT - Piper Cub

[esko haanpää]

Hi Brian!

My name is Esko Haanpää and I write from Sweden.
I have Piper Cub drawings for J-3 Cub.
They are Wag aero drawings. 
For constructing a Piper Cub from scratsh.

I am building a 1:3rd scale model made from steel tubing just like the real Cub.
It has a 50 cc four stroke 1:3 scale engine.

Tell me more about your project

Bye for now, Esko

  Hey guys,

  Last night my brother-in-law approached me with quite a proposition. It seems that his uncle, once upon a time, decided to get in the business of building/restoring Piper Cub aircraft. I guess at one point he had around 10 hulks in various states. But unfortunately he had a work accident (he was a lumberjack) that cost him one leg, and got out of flying. I don't know what happened to any of the aircraft, but what I do know is that he has a barn he built at an airport, specifically for building these aircraft, so it is layed out perfect. And my brother-in-law is thinking, hey, maybe we could take advantage of this fact, and get a few of us together and get some plans and build a Piper Cub! :) Needless to say I love the idea. He found this site which offers plans: http://www.lightminiatureaircraft.com/homepage.html

  I'm just wondering if any of you have any experience, hints, tips, thoughts on this particular company, the idea overall, anything you think I should know. 

  Brian
