Thank you! Good information 👍

The problems you described are exactly what happened to me, and it can be a bit scary. I wasn’t able to control the trim until I slowed way down. Thanks for the video!! Rusty

WOW !!! From 1945, and the original wood spars are A-OK ? How rare is that ????? Seems to me that, for most folks doing a "re-build", it's a bit of a problem trying to get just the right wood for those spars !

Hire a sound man from Hollywood.... sounds like you are in a tunnel and at the other end.😐

How do you get to your rudder cables once the fuselage fabric is on? Thanks Don and Ron!

That strap tool looks very cool--would you happen to have a resource for a sketch or something, or maybe just some dimensions? Where did you source the channel that serves as the base for that unit? Thanks for all your helpful videos!

Looking at the cub in this post I noticed the stripe is wrong!

Very interesting! I hit the subscribe button!!!😮

Would love to know what size reamer

I loved working with Ron. Sometimes Don. Lol. Please tell Ron I said Hi. I worked with him a few weeks at javron. He bought me a set of ratcheting wrenches. He was pretty excited about my ability. Told me multiple times I had all the "good ideas" I started a new position at a aircraft maintenance facility in brainerd at the airport. Stop in next time and say hi. I still love welding and fab. I want to get my aerospace cert soon. Take care fells.

Where can I get a wall mounted jack like that?

Good information. What size reamer do you use?

what grade sandpaper do you guys use ?

Awesome video. Would love to see how you set up and shoot the paint, now that we have seen how layout the numbers.

Awesome!

When will you post replacing Jack screw in a fabric aircraft? I live in Alabama and you can do mine if you need to make a video😂

Can the Jack screw assembly be replaced without removing the fabric?

Great job. You didn't mention that "Rosie the Rocketer," was the only Piper L-4 Cub to ever shoot down another airplane in aerial combat.

How much of the work can I do myself wanting to restore my dads 1941 j5a

Loving your videos on J3s and making your own tools. How about a video on straightening bent fuselage tubing. What would be the tools that you would use, and how would you do it. Thanks

Good stuff fellas 👏

Don and Ron, I sincerely thank you. The love and passion that give to the aircraft and the young one is so greatly appreciated.

Genuine question: Not worried about any galvanic corrosion between that steel & aluminum being riveted together? With such a beautiful fabric job, would be a shame to have to dive back in there too handle a corrosion problem.

Recently acquired a '39 J3 with a C 85-12 and so very much enjoy ALL the videos. How about a video on magneto variations & options for the small bore Continentals? I guess there are two styles of Bendix and a retro fit Slick mag? Also discuss the wire options for the 4SLN-21's. Maybe timing and plugs, etc.

Great stuff! Thanx Don ... these tips will definitely help the restoration of my M-4-220-C Maule. Skal ^v^

What type of paint would you use on a fabric plane. 1930s

I have a 1948 Stinson 108-3 on which I am replacing the wingtip. The factory manual says the drag wires should be set to 74 lbs but does not specify how much deflection that should occur at. Is 1/2" the standard deflection used for aircraft of that era? Thank you very much for your help. Jim

Great tip! Thanks!

What’s up with people who use Felt on leading edges? Is that approved? Is it just being cheap and hiding imperfections or is it a better way to cover?

Great tools, thanks for sharing your expertise.

Another video source of methodology shows the installer using bar soap to lubricate .

Any idea where you might mount a battery box in a j3

The diagonal striped patch on the tail indicates the 3rd Infantry Division that fought through North Africa, Sicily and Italy. The red outline around the Star/bar was used only briefly during 1943. Beautiful restoration.

Super the TIPS .Thanks

You guys do a such good job. Thank you for all the infos on the video.

I am re-building a PA22/20 1953 and i need to redoing the bow, what will be the best wood i should buy ? Thanks and keep going the nice work and video.

Where does one get their hands on your little tool to make lines?

Invaluable information for us “newbies”….

Gorgeous! It’s obvious the love you put into your work!

Beautiful job!

Loving all of your videos! Where are ya all located?

This hurts to watch

Good Morning guys. I meet yall this morning at Jacks.

Hi!! Great video! can I know the thickness of the aluminium ????

Thank you

Nothing in over seven months I hope Don and Ron are OK

Excellent video !

What is the best source for the little square washers for the tail flying wire fasteners??

A big question: Where can you get the aluminum (I presume they’re aluminum) flexible hoses?? See 4:17. I checked with Univair and their source no longer makes them. I’ve seen exhaust parts that are similar but not sure if those are too heavy or not.

you did not show use how the big metal hoops work. I would like to see how they work.
