Fiddler's Green J-3 Piper Cub
Hey squadron, I am building Fiddler's Green J-3 Piper Cub. Simultaneously, I am building Peck Polymer's Peanut Scale Cub. I've been on a Cub kick since I scored a Herr Engineering 48” J-3 Cub RC kit pro bono at my RC club in Laurel, MD. I got some guidance from another build thread on this web site. So far so good. I plan to use wood for the struts as the paper ones are just not up to the task. I will be building the interior and using acetate for window material.

Hello, Nice work on that nice Piper J3. Oe question: You are building your model over a plan of a balsa Piper Cub, can you please tell me the publisher of this plan or the kit manufacturer? Thank you very much.

Nice work. Brings back a lot of memories. Learnng to fly in a J-3 in 1957. Building lots of Peck Polymer peanut scale flying models over the years. And building, or trying to build, a variety of Fiddlers Green and DGA J-3s.

It's the Peck Polymer's Peanut Scale Cub. I was just at a Flying Aces Club contest and told someone I was building one. I was told that they can be a challenge to get to fly. I'm pretty new to all of this and I know there is a lot to learn. I am enjoying all of this.

Thank you very much for the information. I really didn't see the Peck Polymers caption. I hope Oz : Free plans : Collection of free vintage model aircraft plans to download has the plan among more than 14000 he has free to share.

Mary and Steve have both done a wonderful job restoring, filing and sharing model airplane plans for us to enjoy. Hard and time consuming effort.

Thank you for this thread! I have built many Fiddlersgreen Piper J-3 Cubs. It is a great model. Please continue posting pictures as you work on your model!
That model made me want to design a paper Cub that was more to scale, so I found resource material and worked with the Piper Aviation Museum to design a new model. Once you have finished this model, and want more Cubs [who wouldn't want that?] you can find more here: DGA Piper Cub models |
