Almost everyone I've meet that Flys an "Antique" J-3, have long ago upgraded to at least an 85 h.p. engine. Near all of the modern J-3/ PA-11 clones use 100 or 115 h.p. These are very nice flyers !
like the video, how ever perhaps slow things down a bit and explain what you are doing. how deep is your garage for one? what type of welding equipment did you use? i have no welding experience so either i am going to have to go to school for it or hire someone to build mine. unfortunate it wont be a cub which is one of my favorite planes of all time. so, I plan on building something that is very rare but not sure were to begin.
@@outcold1982 Honestly, the building of the fuselage frame was easy and enjoyable. BUT, became more that I wanted when it came time to manufacture and weld all of the little clips in place. PLUS, my wife likes to ride side by side not in tandem, so... S21!
Hello good afternoon. my name is Tony I am from Buenos Aires Argentina, I have been wanting to start a project for a long time to make a PA 18, PA 11 or a J3 and I would like to know if you can provide me with some information on how I can get the manufacturing plans for some of the models Piper's already named. I await your response, thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience. Regards
@@2FlyAmerica gotcha I admire your willingness to assemble this from scratch. I saw it when you first post the video. Been anxiously waiting to see if you made any progress. I am building my own now as well. I worked for Airframes Alaska for a bit welding and fabricating fuselages from scratch as well. The upper cabin looks more like a j3 style but I don't know for sure.
@@Lickety-Split This definitely built to look like a J3. I am much further along on the upper cabin area and it looks more correct with the "bird cage" welded up. The plans are from WagAero and leave a LOT to the imagination...
Are these “Sport Trainer” drawings/plans the same as the Northland Drawings? Do you happen to know the differences? I bought the Northland Drawings, but it takes a while to be able to somewhat digest how they’re laid out. Thanks

That was actually far better to watch than I expected!! Nice work.
Magnificent!
Inspiring, thank you!

good job
I wish you would make a follow up video on how you got started and how the fitment was without using a jig? Thanks
Thanks Joe, but I have sold this project and am building a Rans S-21 now.
@@2FlyAmerica Can I ask you went that route?

Nice video I'm looking for a blueprint for the cub to build one
These are available atwww.wagaero.com
Nice work...!!!
the tubes are 4130? the weld is tig? Was strain relief done after welding? How do I relieve stress if needed?
thanks for listening
Fire the cannon.
Great videos! Where did you get the blueprints from?
Diddo! I need a set of dimension blue prints. Any info, greatly appreciated.

Did you ever get this together? Kind of just left is hanging on the build. Tail section looks good but the upper cabin looks a bit strange...
We have not finished it yet... Life has gotten in the way a little! As far as the upper cabin look, it is built to the plan dimensions...

Great job, what camera recording setup are you using?
where did you get the plans for the aircraft, there is alot of sites that only offer half of the plans or just seem shady. ?
How much did it cost you to complete the airframe? Thank you 👍🏻
I see you mig welding 4130, is that acceptable in aviation now?
It looked like you were mig welding but it must have just been the speed of the video making it look that way.
What do you mean “accepted”? Any kind of welding will work and 4130 is a common alloy for aircraft frames.
Any Resources for legit plans? I've been tracing diagrams from the web and guessing demotions.
You can buy the plans from Wag Aero, they are pretty detailed... www.wagaero.com
If you want good prices on 4130 tube, goto VR3.ca and talk to Don.
Exact same tubing that AS sells for WAY LESS.
(..and it's not from China)
Ryan Kirk thank you!
بسیارعالی
Hello, I'm from Brazil, you know where I can get the piper Cub's construction plans. I want to build a superstol in my house
wagaero meu querido, lá tem o que precisa!
How did you make the template on the table?
Where did you get plans?
Should have played flight of the bumblebee. It matches the frenetic pace shown
Rad.
Hats off to this man , you are an inspiration to many. where can you get the plans?
The plans are from WagAero and they are listed as Sport Trainer - See Link: www.wagaero.com/sport-trainer-drawings.html
THANKS for viewing!

you can give me the cub's measurements
I have recently sold the project, but you can get details here... www.wagaero.com
Where did you get the plans??? nice work!!!
How many hours of set up and welding to complete the fuselage?
Bro can you tell me the length of the frame
It's about 19' long without engine...
Thanks broo
19 ft and the wings 13ft
@@hadichannel7689 The wings are closer to 16' each the total span is 35'!
And the horizontal stabilizer /vertical if yu plzz
What are the dimensions of your table?
Thanks, Paul. Gotta decide if I'm going to start cutting/fitting/welding or order a fuse from Javron.
