PA-12 wings on a PA-18 fuselage

2*? Relocating the aft stab attach would be what needs to happen to do that. I think my own -12 had that much surplus trim available. No matter, I was talked out of the mod by a guy who knows a lot more about -12s than me. And that's part of why I thought -12 wings on an -18 airframe would be a fun E-AB project. But now, 10 or 12 years later? I'd just buy a 3-place Cub airframe or an SQ-12 if I needed a 2-place rear seat. I built the Rev instead. The baggage door makes a wider seat unimportant to me.
 
If you put the 12 wings on a 18 fuselage the tail will be correct to start with so not an issue. If you increase the incidence with top deck changes/ adjustable spar ends. Then you may need to adjust the tail, It can be done a few different ways. Pretty easy when uncovered.
