If you want a good detailed representation of the Cub be prepared to do a lot of scratch building. You really need to rethink the wing attachment process.

We have this emote icon ready for such threads. :nopics: Let's see what you've done so far!

Paul you'd never get out of the cockpit it's so basic. The engine mounts on the shaft baring attached to the cowl. There are no engine mounts. No pilot for me Saul, guess they ran out of the figures. Didn't have one in the first one either. The PE sheet is shit, numbers are wrong for the most...

Crying shame I don't support the plant up there in Hudson MA, I'd blow the network up and tell them the only way I can fix it is to go there and get hands on. Bad thing is, I saw the museum on the maps when I was there. I'm gonna look at it and figure out how far I'm going here.

Seriously? That's not a reflection of wood grain, that's the unpainted wing spar and some control lines.

AH HA! L4J https://www.ckaviation.co.uk/aircraft-for-sale/1942-piper-l4j-65-cub/ Ok, that's challenging. Wish I had noticed this 2 weeks ago. :bm:

Don't you love Eudards? :frantic:

Instead of a boat in a bottle you got a boat in a cube. Well done! :notworthy

Pups?! Cubs I meant, I eve had my 2 cups of joe when I wrote that. Maybe it's my subconscious telling me to get back to ww1 aircraft.

I don't know, that looks totally transparent. Looks like we can see inside the wing root. I think I remember reading they did some extra trials arming pups but they stopped because the germans started shooting at all pups thinking they were now all armed.

Hmm, that sounds familiar. Had the same problem with the Pips Priller 190.

Good luck Paul, keep us updated.

Just dawned on me as I'm pouring coffee, get a sanding film between the wing and the canopy and sand it down. Trust me, I got it in my head.

@jknaus and @Heavens Eagle this is the stuff I was talking about. Link to badger doesn't work anymore and googling brings up this thread. Glad the SEO is working.

Well that'll do it, we're in drought situation here, that's why I'm pushing for the centipede.

I know that reference.... :rotf But you see that, it's clearly well, it's something clear. hmmm might be some saving this after all. :sawall

I just wonder if I can get enough tension on it to pull it down. I'm also noticing back on the original photos. Right at the canopy and the wing root (if you will) it appears there's a clear blister at the least on the port side. Is that a landing light?

I'm so jealous of your rich green grass! I got Bermuda emerging and I didn't even know I had bermuda. I've been working the centipede angle.

It's port side without a doubt. I could try and shim it from the top on the port side, maybe...I used so much Mr Hobby thick glue inside I can't wedge the wing sections apart to reseat it. Like I said earlier, I got my work bench on my mind more than this kit.

So the answer to the question "can I do it better again?" the answer, Nope. What the hell is going on here? From drawings I don't really see a dihedral and i'm not real sure why one wing is cocked up and the other isn't. I wedged some scrap at the wing root pushing the right side up, almost...
