Well I went and bought a Supercub project, now what?
It is plans built from wag with all the superstructure of a 18a the welder was a aircraft structural instructor (for welding) and copied his supercub along with the Northland drawings. The project was stalled for several years due to partners becoming ill and passing on. So it sat in a garage for 15 years. Present day. There are some changes I would like to incorporate to my new baby. I really like the l-21 style and would like to go this route. My concern is cutting out the c windows and replacing the turtle deck and stringers. Pros and cons anyone? I also want to extend the rear baggage and flip the dogleg. Does one need to have it in a jig or can this be done without one. I'm all ears my other concern is cutting out the old dogleg do you need to grind out all the old material? I'm adding in the tube that goes crosswise by the yolk mount as per the Northland dwgs.
It has both wings complete one new and one used along with the parts to build a new wing. Several flaps and ailerons. A box plus of instruments. A lower time 0-235 mothballed,
Wheels brakes struts and the list goes on and on.
I consider myself really fortunate to find this project and evermore so that this resource is available.
Thanks everyone,
