Not a perfect build, I know. But still It's my Piper J3Cub, ;Dmade out of Depron.Her first flight was today evening. Perfect on that. It's a free time build in a day.

Re: It's my Piper J3 Cub!
Simple build
"Its easy to understand the constructions" of this model ( for a newbie
) Atleast i got a few ideas/reference after watching the pics .......
Moreover 3 channel planes are easier to fly as compared to 4 channel.......
Thankyou for sharing this...

And Sukhpreet, out of my "wild" imagination, one more "new" baby born y'day night
, that can fly slow and veeeryy fast
. It is indeed a scratch
build, out of the remnants of previous builds. Colour schemes and shaping yet to complete.

Yes, Sukhpreet, I don't waste any! Especially Depron which is hard to get in my place. And since my beginning , I have broken only 2-3 props.
Rest all things are still with me!

Re: It's my Piper J3 Cub!
Just 2- 3 props......
And for my (Single built) F450 Quad i have broken around 3 or 4
I really need to learn a lot .........
That's for sure...
Currently i have started working on Flying Wing Sir
The progress is slow.....It will take some time.. Because i am not able to spare money/time off from my salary
due to unexpected, unseen expenses
(And i am also aware of the fact that i should have worked on a trainer first....But Flying wing has got/Caught me )

Re: It's my Piper J3 Cub!
Yes , Sukhpreet, if you had trained yourself on a trainer, flying wing becomes too simple for you. @ a3ruz, I think Praveen (from TVM) posted address of a shop there, who sells it.

Re: It's my Piper J3 Cub!
@a3ruz, no need of depron if you are a beginner. You may very well try Thermocol , which is very freely available ( I have posted instructions) or coro which again is superb when you think of painting your models( easier than depron/ Thermocol) , if so follow Sanjai sir's builds ( The most beautiful ones you'll ever find!). You may also try coro/ Thermocol combo.
Praveen was suggesting sign boards , which are also light weight ; instead of depron.

Yes, can paint over Sellotape, that is exactly what I did on that plane; spray painted on Sellotape after it was applied on depron.

Re: It's my Piper J3 Cub!
Well... you may try using the Fevicryl colours directly on the thermocol and then cover the wing with transparent tape. One bottle of Fevicryl colours cost Rs 18 and for a medium sized aircraft 3 - 4 bottles are required. The paint is water soluable but when dry it is not washable with water as it is an acrylic paint. After covering it with Tape is looks as goos as any costly paint job done on the model.
Well I been using this for long and you too may try.
You may look at my thread on Kaiser Mk 1 in the 2015 sweepstakes for more information.
Happy and safe flying.....

Re: It's my Piper J3 Cub!
Thank you everyone for your valuable suggestions ..........
@A3ruz first apply layer of sellotape and then spray paint on it
Or apply acrylic color and then give a coating of sellotape ......
Thats what they are saying
