 J-3 Cub Construction Project Session #77

77 J-3 Cub Make Do Rudder Decal

Since there was no way to obtain a Cub rudder decal with the little bear holding the red Cub sign, I ordered another pair of the Cub wheel decals and put them on the rudder as shown below. Not scale I know, but an attempt to have something there.
 
Tuesday morning I will be going over to Mike Midkiff's place in Hurst for instruction on how to make and bench test two rubber motors for the J-3 Cub, one for flight testing and one for flying (I think). He is going to show me how to make a stuffer stick for inserting the rubber motor into the fuselage, how to braid the rubber strands of the motor, and provide me with a stirrup (or fitting) for attaching the rubber motor to the end of the prop shaft after the rubber motor is wound up. This should be a really informative session for me. By the way, Mike has just been elected as president of the Texas Cloud Climbers, our north Texas free flight club. I think he will provide some real service and leadership to our club.....................Tandy
