I keep coming back to looking at building a Wag Aero 2+2. I'm not averse to a super cub, but for some peculiar reason I just like the looks and potential of the PA-14 style craft. I'd probably make it a two-place, anyway.
I've studied the Wag drawings and the Northland drawings. I've also read all sorts of threads on angle of incidence, thrustline, etc. I think I have a handle on the basics.
It looks like not a big deal to raise the forward spar butt hinge 1" when building the fuselage. That would match the super cub's 2.5" rise over 31 inches between spar attach points in relation to the horizontal reference.
I'm wondering if anyone has done this, either to a PA 14, Wag 2+2, or maybe a PA 12? If so, is there an improvement in short field performance?
