Another Great Planes Piper J-3 Build
I know we have a few of these builds here so I won`t bother you guys with too many pictures of the assembly unless you want me too.
This is about 7 days work at this stage. |

Re: Another Great Planes Piper J-3 Build
Ok here goes.
Some of items cut for the horizontal stab were cut smaller than what was called for on the plan so be prepared to do some filling. Last edited by mrrandyman; 10-27-2011 at 03:51 PM. |

Pictures Continued:
If you are building this kit you will find that the firewall does not fit as it should on the right hand side so you will have to do some sanding. ( the right side as if you were sitting in the plane ) Last edited by mrrandyman; 10-27-2011 at 04:24 PM. |

I want to see how well it holds up. I made sure everything was tight so it should be ok. I've seen some of the pro's using it and thier planes don't fall apart so it should be good. I am using the epoxy fillets in the places that I feel will recieve the most stress. Last edited by mrrandyman; 10-27-2011 at 04:26 PM. |

Re: Another Great Planes Piper J-3 Build
I'm in the midst of installing the Saito 82 and it looks like I am going to have to butcher the front end to accept the engine. It has to sit 5-1/8" from the Thrust washer to the firewall so I am either going to have to mount the engine on the end of the mount or add some blockes behind the mount to be able to get a better bite on the engine.
Can a guy mount the 4 stoke inverted? It might look cleaner that way but will it run properly? Also this plane is going to be on floats. Last edited by mrrandyman; 10-27-2011 at 08:30 PM. |

Re: Another Great Planes Piper J-3 Build
Inverted is a great way to mount it. They run great. Heres a shot of my Goldberg Cub. Saves the cowl and looks a lot cleaner. I have a saito 65 and thats more than enough. Nice build.
