Building a plans built 1/3rd Scale Super Cub. Using Aircraft spruce and birch plywood. Here are a Few photo's I have taken. It will be covered in fabric and painted.

I don't know why, but I read 1-3rd scale and thought, bet he could just about fly that from the cockpit.
smaller that Imagined, but rockyboy's right. It looking great!

Oh hell yeah! Looking great so far! What brand suspension gear are you using, and who's plan/kit? I recently added suspension gear to my 1/4 scale Cub and I love how well they smooth out the ground handling.

That is sweet! I don’t know where I’d even fly something that big!

A sod farm would be ideal.

I cut it out per plans and had a friend wield it up. They are Robert W Nelitz plans. I am adding flaps to make it a Super Cub.
