So, a little over 20 years ago I restored a 1946 J-3 with aluminum spars and a back seat with a metal back and plywood seat. We had modified the 65hp engine to a 75hp.
I loved that bird.
I have done a Champ and a few others since, and now that I am finally flying for a major, in a couple of years I would like to build another plane.
So, I decided I want to do a Clipped wing Cub. Experimental.
Wants
Rear seat PIC
O-200 power. With electric start, not opposed to hand propping, just don't want to anymore. Too many eyes watching.
Exposed cylinders, J-3 style, if an O-200 can do that.
No flaps
Metal spars
Heavy struts, big forks
Do NOT want a left side door, but a supercub style left side sliding windows
Rear seat like my old one, which I think is PA-11 style right?
Balanced controls if y'all think it would be better
No inverted system
Wing tanks, 12 gals each should do it?
Smoke tank (where the old fuel tank was maybe?)
Basic, gentlemen's aerobatics (no negative) Sunday fun toy.
Thinking a Javron tubing kit (yes I can weld, and actually want to do it)
Does Javron do wings without flaps?
Thoughts?
