    I wish people would be more accurate. This is NOT a normal Pipert J-3 Cub; this is a CLIPPED WING J-3, specifically the Reed Conversion once popular as an entry level aerobatic ship. And for those who don't know, what makes it suitable for competition aerobatics is NOT that it can do the maneuvers, it is that you can make a bad.mistake and not DIE, because suitable control stops have been included to keep from damaging control surfaces during accidental tail slides. If you make a scale J-3 out of this kit, the span goes to 15" which.means it is no longer a Peanut. So please- don't be sloppy with what you call it- you might mislead someone into thinking the kit will yield a normal J-3 when in fact it won't.

    I'm just finishing constructing my P51 from the Vintage Model Company. Watching him wind up the rubber band I had no idea that is how it is supposed to be done ! Pity he didn't show some of the construction and trimming it up before his first flight. It's amazing how far it can fly just with a rubber band.

    • @1toastandjam1
      @1toastandjam1 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Don’t give up, perhaps it’s the particular model you’re building and how you build it. Weight is everything the lighter the better its chances it will fly. Also learning how to trim a model once built makes a lot of difference. There are TH-cam videos showing how to build and trim basics for beginners. Watch and learn. Most of all it’s about the enjoyment of the build and having fun best of luck to you
