Greetings, everybody. I'm new here and want to share a project I almost finished few month ago. It's a Cub airplane with J-3 fuselage and PA-18 metal/fabric wings with flaps and 2x50L fueltanks. The engine is Subaru EJ22E, untouched injectors and stock ECU. The wheels were taken from the PZL Wilga. The plane is completely self-made by drawings from WagAero, but with correction for russian assortment of metal.
Before cub I had a Flylab Tucano ultralight, so I can't compare my Cub with other Cubs. As for perfomance - it has a 5 m/s climb rate (1000 fpm), pretty short landing and takeoff roll (three-point landings is about 50 and takeoff is 70 meters on grass strip with no wind and ~17C). The ground-adjustable propeller and reduction drive are tuned so the plane have 4500 rpm at full throttle and 3200-3600 rpm in cruise.
It's not completely finished, because it requires some minor adjustments and upgrades, but at this moment it already fun to fly airplane
Best regards from Russia
