Finally got the Super Flying Model J3 kit delivered yesterday from https://www.rcmodelaircraft.com.au/super-flying-model-piper-j-3-cub-40-build-kit , so Ive spent the day pulling out all the laser cut parts out and based on what Ive seen so far the laser cutting has been very good. 99% of parts where intact and there was only a couple of broken pieces that I needed to re-glue together. There are many extra parts in this kit that was a real surprise and for the money I think that overall it looks really good.
So in this kit ( not covering small parts ) there are 30 pages of instructions in booklet form, a 2 sheet plan covering fuselage, wing, rudder, elevator and over head views and the details look quite acceptable to me. There are many associated balsa parts and shapes, decals kit, heavy gauge wire for the landing gear, and many other parts. Overall the kit looks to be quite comprehensive.
So Im off to buy some wood glue called pva, since I cant find my original bottle. So my goal here is to learn the art of balsa building with help from forum members as I progress along the build, setup this design with suitable electronics down the track.
