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...

Those are some nice lights. Do tell! Nice view out the window, you can catch a glimpse of the Duke boys screaming by.

Mine's bigger... :coolio2:

You and me both. I'm trying hard to resist pulling apart my work bench right now and breaking out the saw to chop the thing up. I need to get a pegboard backing and accessories but I don't want to go to the home improvement store on a Saturday at the first of the month.

We'll grant you absence considering the trip. Have fun!

Sorry you feel bad, you were missed on the call today but get your rest. Agree with the Pyramids
