PA-18-95 Fuselage

Alaska2023 · Dec 27, 2018

Looking to start building the fuselage for a PA-18-95. What I’m considering right now is to either build the Sportsman 2+2 fuselage at the width of the Super Cub or build the Wag Aero Sport Trainer but with a PA-18 top deck. Thoughts and opinions? I would like to keep the plane as light as possible but also have a 1500#+ gross. I will be using a all wood wing also. Thanks

I am a bit confused, do you already have a fuselage?

That would be an option if I found a good deal on one.

I would use the Northland drawing CD and build a Super Cub fueslage.

I agree with Steve. We have a couple of guys around here who are doing that very thing, and it looks to me like it would be the way to go.
