@@phillipperkins1548 Used the VR3 assembly drawings for the fuselage and gear and then the northland drawing set for everything else. Google northland super cub plans they are well worth the $60.
@@sailorlee15 thanks thats kind of what I thiught. I have the northland plans already, have for a number of years now. having a lot of trouble getting VR3 to contact me back. tried several times with various other aircraft with no luck. im in Australia
@@wackaircaftmechanic2312 less sensitive than the Pitts but more than any other plane I have flown. I worked hard to make the ailerons more sensitive and they felt pretty good!
@@sailorlee15 Nice! I haven’t flown mine for a while and I’m getting close to flying it. I want to make sure of some of the quirks on these little things before I hop in and go. Thanks for your time! Hope you’re still enjoying it!
Good looking toys! If you’re interested in cleaning up the paint on the Pitts rather than repainting, look up Aviana Aircraft Detailing. Mehrdad lives in my area (Iowa) and is well-known in the aircraft detailing business. AOPA has done some stories on his work and he has a RU-vid channel - AvianaAircraft.
I would have loved to do this BUT I’m to old and poor now (72) maybe still an ultralight in my future though 🤔 I will however be following your progress with interest and wish you lots of luck! Glad you got some good guidence and motivators behind you (you’re gonna need them😉….) Ed
I love that your so excited about the work we do at Javron. In my 8 years there I have done everything. I strive as I build all of these parts in your order to impress the person opening the box. This video really made me proud as I watched. You gave us so many nice comments on our work. Thank you.
@@sailorlee15 Glad to hear it! I've been looking into the vr3 kit, but the price Don quoted me is significantly higher now. I'm looking forward to seeing your project continue.
Lee, it's absolutely gorgeous 😍. My grandfather owned one of these. It's where my love of aviation began when I was just a toddler. Your J3 cub is magnificent. You guys are going to have a wonderful time with it. ❤
My old glider club had two 180 super cubs. I ran the tow cards all the time, flew in them occasionally. So, watching you, I can almost smell the 100ll. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations on the J3 and thanks for the ride along Lee! Can't wait to see you build more on the SuperCub and I always enjoy watching someone else getting the same enjoyment out of flying that I do. How much welding experience did you have before you started welding the fuselage of the SuperCub and do you think a beginner welder could tackle a Javron Kit?
Hi Clint, I had very little. After finish welding the fuselage I now feel like I can make safe welds. Still far from an expert... Luckily with the Javron kit there is zero welding! The fuselage is done when you get it from them. I bought a tubing kit from VR3. Thank for watching!
i am building the exact same Cartesian cub right now,and it is a good way to build on a more modest budget,i just finish the second series of tack and preparing for jigue release,nice work, will keep fallowing along.
I was talking to a coworker and he motivated me to build a Cub from scratch. I’m an A&P and used to work for CubCrafters. Love what you’re doing here! Will be following your progress to help me decide which airplane I will be building!
In the last episode you built the rudder, you had already built the vertical stab. Well that was a disappointment. why didn't you show assembling the pieces and tacking? being only tacked and then having to move the plane again, wouldn't that throw your alignment off? I mean now your having to measure twice.
Would have been neat to see the forming of the ribs and how you put the horn on. What is the wire for at the top of the rudder? A little more explanation please. keep up the good work. moving onto your next video.
Can’t wait to see it all done bro been watching on this build since it first started and love just checking in ever now and then and seeing your still inspired and doing the build. Hands down my favourite aircraft since the movie Alaska and can’t wait for you to be able to get your girl up in the air and enjoy all those hard hours and headaches mate. Excited to see it finished
Hi Lee I am getting ready to attempt a build I think that I will use VC3 tubing kit What drawings did or are you using I have the Northland drawings is there anything else available thanks
Very nice weld reinforcement on your clusters, at 6:35. I'm a long-time OA welder on 4130, and I see a lot of TIG guys using minimal filler rod, so their beads are all narrow and concave. Ugh, I say to that.
