About this Plan

Piper J3 Cub. Free flight sport scale model for Mills .75cc power.

Quote: "Your Free Plan. Piper J3.

One of the most popular light aircraft for the modeller is undoubtedly the Piper J3; its advantages are many: good stability, neat appearance and above all, ease of construction.

The plan as shown here is the F/F version for all small motors from the Pee Wee to 8cc (Mills .75 etc). Should you prefer a control line version, give the rudder half an inch of offset, place a 1/2 oz weight in the outboard wingtip, fit a bellcrank and moveable elevators, and with a motor from 1.5 to 2.5 cc up front, you'll have one of the prettiest models at the field.

When you build your Piper, let's have some pictures."

The article also mentions conversion to CL.

    ScaleType: This (oz7418) 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.
