  • Time lapse video of the layout, tube cutting and welding of a scratch built Piper Cub fuselage. The plans I am using are from Wag-Aero and all of the tubing is 4130 and welded with a TIG machine.

    Almost everyone I've meet that Flys an "Antique" J-3, have long ago upgraded to at least an 85 h.p. engine.
    Near all of the modern J-3/ PA-11 clones use 100 or 115 h.p. These are very nice flyers !

    like the video, how ever perhaps slow things down a bit and explain what you are doing. how deep is your garage for one? what type of welding equipment did you use? i have no welding experience so either i am going to have to go to school for it or hire someone to build mine. unfortunate it wont be a cub which is one of my favorite planes of all time. so, I plan on building something that is very rare but not sure were to begin.

      @@outcold1982 Honestly, the building of the fuselage frame was easy and enjoyable. BUT, became more that I wanted when it came time to manufacture and weld all of the little clips in place. PLUS, my wife likes to ride side by side not in tandem, so... S21!

    the tubes are 4130? the weld is tig? Was strain relief done after welding? How do I relieve stress if needed?

    If you want good prices on 4130 tube, goto VR3.ca and talk to Don.
    Exact same tubing that AS sells for WAY LESS.
    (..and it's not from China)

      @@2FlyAmerica gotcha I admire your willingness to assemble this from scratch. I saw it when you first post the video. Been anxiously waiting to see if you made any progress. I am building my own now as well. I worked for Airframes Alaska for a bit welding and fabricating fuselages from scratch as well. The upper cabin looks more like a j3 style but I don't know for sure.

      Are these “Sport Trainer” drawings/plans the same as the Northland Drawings? Do you happen to know the differences? I bought the Northland Drawings, but it takes a while to be able to somewhat digest how they’re laid out. Thanks

      What do you mean “accepted”? Any kind of welding will work and 4130 is a common alloy for aircraft frames.
