AMR Piper J-3 Cub 33% Build Thread - BBKING
Good Afternoon,
I just sent off the email to Michel @ AMR to get one of these beautiful kits on the way to me. I have noticed that there are not many build threads from AMR anywhere on the internet and there really should be. These are beautiful kits all laser cut and made right here in Canada. The kits come with jigs to make sure everything is built straight and true. Here is a Link to the plane (http://amr-rc.com/index.php?path=con...=AMR&langue=en) My plan for this plane is a bit different than most J-3 Cubs. I don't want to build a yellow cub or a grasshopper version but something a little bit different. (Unique colour scheme) I have attached a few that I am thinking about but am welcome to suggestions. Servos will be all high voltage servos running a 2 cell lipo. If you have not built a plane this way I suggest you try it. Once you use a Lipo like a NIMH with no regs etc, you will never go back. Its so easy to charge and fly. I am hoping by doing a build thread it will encourage me to take my time and build it nicely. (Rushing is a common problem I have with building) Hopefully the plane will be here this week or early next week and the gluing can begin!

Re: AMR Piper J-3 Cub 33% Build Thread
You'll have fun with that kit.
I finished a 40% Waco this year and the kit was a delight to build. The nice thing about AMR is that if you e-mail them a question, you get a reply very quickly. Great guys to deal with.

Re: AMR Piper J-3 Cub 33% Build Thread
Hey Larry, would you believe I'm restoring your old Cub this winter for the current owners? And get this, we even have a nose gear conversion kit to
put on it again, just for something different (-KLF had a nosewheel for a while in the '50's). Kevin, if you want to do something different with your J-3 build, it doesn't get much more different than a J-3 with a nose wheel. I could supply you with the documentation. Have fun guys, Jon |

Re: AMR Piper J-3 Cub 33% Build Thread
This is great news. I want to build one of these also this winter.
I have one of their Stick kits and it's fantastic. Be great when you receive the kit and get the plans out. |
