Hello dear Super Cub friends.
My name is Marcio, I'm a private pilot here in Brazil. I usually fly an aircraft close to the J3 cub, but a Brazilian version of it.
I'm glad to post on this forum for the first time. I hope to make some friends and gain some experience with you.
A friend of mine bought this kit from someone who was cleaning a hangar. All this guy knew about this kit is that it is supposed to be a "J&L Widebody PA-18". The kit hasn't ever flown nor finished.
I am trying to help out this friend identify it correctly, in order to try to obtain the builder's manual and related documentation. I tried to google "J&L PA-18", but nothing came up. When I tried "PA-18 Widebody" I was able to find a company called "airframe Alaska" but still I couldn't determine for sure.
One thing I found really different is the wing strut attachment, made in aluminum alloy. I don't have any pictures with me, but the strut itself also seems to be aluminum.
I am attaching some pictures here. I would really appreciate any help given.
