Piper Cub J3. Boredom build

[Xraycer]

Moved along, it's in a million pieces at the bottom of my shop garbage can.
I don't worry about it, it was only a being bored project.
I might dig out all of my popsicle stick tools and start that up again.

One of my favorites for sure....

Let me know when you're ready to move along with this project. I'll be there to dumpster dive on garbage day.

Your work is a science. If not everyone could do it. Good for you. John.

Thanks bud but believe it or not, I fail more than I'm successful.

Thanks bud but believe it or not, I fail more than I'm successful.

And thus you learn.

Don't we all !!!

 

[Xraycer]

Don't we all !!!

Well....

Thanks bud but she won't fly other than being tied to a fishing line and running circles around the living room.

What ever puts a smile in your face that's what it's about. Least you can sit in your favorite chair or spot. Be cool or warm with a beer in hand. And have some fun indoors.. hell yeah bud ....

Amazing work Tuned Pipe, I have a spitfire balsa scratch build that I am yet not brave enough to begin assembling.

Maybe you could give me a few pointers?

 

[Tunedfrog]

I wish I could @gandalfnz , truth is, I am a complete beginner.
I have built 4 or 5 larger scale RC planes but haven't flown any yet.
I just ordered some balsa and plans to build a 34" piper cub and I will take my time on this one
and make sure I send it.
Best advise I can give is dig in and take your time with it.

Lets put it this way, for me you are an expert.
I dont even know which glue to use....

On top of this its an old made in USA Guillows kit, which is all in inches etc. Even that gets me confused haha

 

[gandalfnz]

Help!

 

[Tunedfrog]

I've attempted one of those and never made it past the wing before I smashed it and threw it in the garbage.
I am trying Testers Cement for wood.

Look through this.
