| Tim Robinson Aurora, CO | I've built and flown a number of J3 models starting as far back as 1966. Now I'd like to start completely from scratch and build one as near as possible to the original, full scale details.
Has anyone got usable blueprint files they could email me? I plan to build the frame from CF tube (scale size) and implement everything such as the pull-pull systems, the trimable stab, and full cockpit details. All suggestions/help appreciated. email me direct, if you wish. Tim 03/31/2008 @ 20:05 [ref: 20307] |

| HECTOR ALFARO LIMA, OTH | I am a scale modeler.
I am looking for a Piper J3 drawing or a L4 to transfer it to CAD and scale it for Radio Control Purposes. Is it possible to get real plans.? I´ll highly appreciate your advice. Thank You Héctor Alfaro Lima - Peru South America 09/27/2007 @ 08:47 [ref: 18024] |
| Michel Normandin Longueuil, QC | I am a scale modeler, i am looking for a Piper J3 drawing or a L4 , i want to scale down to build a 42% scale one.
where can i found the real plan? Michou41@videotron.ca 08/27/2007 @ 17:17 [ref: 17776] |
| Allan Hoffman Sr. Keymar, MD | I am looking for information and picture documentation for a J-3 Cub. It has a French reg. (F-BEGU). If anyone knows how to get some documentation, please email me. I am a radio control model builder. I want to built a 30% scale model of this plane. So any information would be helpful. 08/26/2007 @ 14:49 [ref: 17764] |
| Stevenot Gilbert N. Rochefort Belgium, OTH | I know the Piper Cup L4. I have seen some during the Battle in France,Belgium and Germany. The commander of a division's artillery liaison plane of the 4th Armored Division, Major Carpenter had ingenuously mounted six bazookas on his aircraft, three under each wing. Using buttons that he had rigged up in his cockpit,he could fire the rockets one at a time, or all six in union.And giving the position of the ennemy...Major Carpenter would be credited with knocking a total of eight tanks from direct fire from his little "bomber".I was during the war Lt Interpreter at the 12th Army Group Gen Bradley. On the Wiesbaden Airfield, they were a few of those. I still have a picture on one of them, belonging to the French Commander of the French First Army, General de Lattre de Tassigny. The number mentioned on it, is 2995. I am pictured with his pilot Cap Christian de Labbey, who is still alive,94. If you want a copy I can sent it. With best regards. 08/25/2007 @ 06:00 [ref: 17746] |

| Everett Morris Battle Creek, MI | For years as a kid, I stood in awe at the simple beauty of these machines. As I got older, I admired their engineering. Now, I wish I had one. I have a flight plan on my Microsoft Flight Simulator with a J3 from New York to
California. I wish that every time I fired that up it was the real thing. Good things happen. 07/31/2007 @ 17:01 [ref: 17392] |
| Christian Ivins Pagosa Springs, CO | My name is Christian Ivins. I am building a piper j3-cub and out of old wood. Your website gave me the inspiration.
