After I had covered the airplane, I painted the firewall along with all of the exposed wood surfaces with an epoxy cement that I thinned with acetone. This step is useful to seal any area that might come into contact with fuel or exhaust. Finally, the easiest part of the finishing process was the application of the decals that come with the kit. J-3 Cub is one of the best values on the market. It is inexpensive by current standards and offers a lot for the money.
Construction is straightforward, and the finished product is well worth the time spent building it.
It is playing a very big part in the movement back to smaller model airplanes, and it works very well with the J-3. Addresses are listed alphabetically in the Index of Manufacturers in the magazine. I made the first flight with the wing struts removed, and the model flew right out of my hand with only a gentle push. Landings, both on the wheels and 3-point, are smooth. When the struts are in place, it takes a little extra power to make a smooth approach and landing.
