Piper Cub J-3 (oz10930)
About this Plan
Piper Cub J-3. Radio control scale model. Wingspan 1.8m. Scale is 1/6. For motors from 2.5 to 4 cc, with single channel RC.
Quote: "Good afternoon, Mary, I've acquired a very old balsa kit to try to restore and build, with the original plan. In order to protect this, I've had it scanned and duplicated. I thought that you may like to add this plan to your already vast collection of Piper Cubs. This one is a bit particular, being the 1/6 scale Chuck Hollinger version, drawn by Bill Dean in 1955, with all the annotations in French! The kit is from Berkeley's, produced in France for Albaco Europe. It differs in some details from the Hollinger Cub already on Outerzone in a few details, and is recognisable by the registration of the 'plane, N20311, seen on the tailfin.
I've added a couple of photos of the box, and the partly-built fuselage in the state I got it in; my challenge is to complete the build and get her to fly. It may take some time. The plan is full-sized, for printing on a B0-sized sheet (1000 x 1414) ... I hope this version can be of use to someone; meanwhile... Have a nice day Douglas"
Note see Piper Cub J-3 (oz256) for the original Chuck Hollinger design, as published in January 1955 Air Trails, along with full article text and supplementary plan and article showing construction of floats for the Cub.

ScaleType: This (oz10930) is a scale plan. Where possible we link scale plans to Wikipedia, using a text string called ScaleType.
If we got this right, you now have a couple of direct links (above) to 1. see the Wikipedia page, and 2. search Oz for more plans of this type. If we didn't, then see below.
Notes:
ScaleType is formed from the last part of the Wikipedia page address, which here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_J-3_Cub
Wikipedia page addresses may well change over time.
For more obscure types, there currently will be no Wiki page found. We tag these cases as ScaleType = NotFound. These will change over time.
Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new/better ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.

Notes
* Credit field
The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.
Scaling
This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
