Neat build. Piper cubs are awesome. Are they meant to be STOL? Most of the bush planes I have seen on youtube look similar to a cub in looks.

Hi Arvind,
I tried to build the nose as per the plan, (There is a Fuselage plan image on Post # 3 - see pic# 16) Smiley

I dont remember from where i got the instrument panel, but i had it with me for long time and finally used it on Piper.
I guess, long back i had got the instrument panel from RCDHAMAKA.

The build was really superb. Waiting for test flight. For the scratch build where u got the blueprint plan and you yourself cut the (wigs and ribs lasercut). Because plans will generally comes with kit only. If any plans available mean good to start my scratch build.

Thankshttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200424/8f59f20bf751c540e072e0041d506d11.jpg

Hi Karthic

Except the wing ribs all the other parts are hand cut.
There are tons of plans available online, my favorite is https://outerzone.co.uk/

Yes. I had look on it "outerzone.com" build plans are in pdf files. It will be nice to build using the available plans in that site.  I have one doubt :- to print that plans on a single paper mean actually requires A0 size(33in *46in). But comercial photocopy center, computer center used to print A4,legal paper size only. Where we can get printout that plans?

Thanks

Here in Bangalore we have several places where they will print A0 size, i am sure there must a shop in your area who does A0 print.
If you cant get a A0 print then you can tile the plan and print it on A4 and then glue them together.

All the best for your build  Smiley

Ys, thank you sir. I searched online for printing plans.

https://www.onlineprintingz.com/b-w-plan-print/

I think this would help where one can't print A0 in local.
