In this video we're going to go over everything I found wrong with my J3 cub. I kind of feel like its a short list, making me think that there's going to be a lot that my mechanic uncovers. But that'll be for another video!

Carl if you guys need any help or whatever come see me over at the Dillon Hangar. Also you need to go talk to Vern Rich about your welding repairs he can take care of all of that stuff you described easily. His shop is over off of Deer Valley and 9th. Looks like a fun project.

Good luck on your project, Carl. Can't wait to see videos of the restoration and when it's finished. IMO, I don't know if I could take on such a project, I think I would rather have kept looking for a plane that was already flyable or very close to it, but still the same hope the best.

My first question is, what's been done to the fuselage to support a O-320? Did someone just bolt on a 160hp and go, or has the fuselage been beefed up? That's the first thing I'd look at. I'd also remove the fabric and do an inspection of all the tubing, especially around the cabin area since it had a hard landing. Since you're not going to do aerobatics in it. I'd look at installing full length wings. A J-3 with that much horsepower will be fun. Good luck on your project.

Answers. No idea it's been flying this way since the 70s with over 750 hours on the frame. I know there were modifications done. We're inspecting the plane inside and out. for any corrosion, cracking, or other issues. I would love to get full length wings, Actually talked with a company about it at OSH. Thanks for your thoughts.

Common practice to cut those old, stiff fuel lines. They get so hard and stiff, that they are all most fused to the fuel line. Best to replace with new anytime a wing is removed.
@flywiththeguys
@flywiththeguys 11 күн бұрын
All fuel lines firewall aft have been replaced with hard lines. =) All new flex lines firewall forward. Anything having to do with fuel has been replaced, accept the wing tanks. But we modified those.

Hey. Looks like a nice project. But to be honest - you are sure that is a J3? Doesn't look like one for me. Cowling is different. Also the landing struts look weird. Highly customized maybe?

It really is. The landing gear is the same, but it has been converted to a O320. It’s now registered experimental exhibition. It’s also a clip wing. This guys setup for some fun aerobatics. G meter included.
