SPAD Piper J3 Cub = RC CoroCub 86" span flying at MASM

Still tuning up this plane. The plane I call ultimate RC trainer. Airplane made of coroplast - the most common material for SPAD (Simple Plastic Airplane Design). It is cheap and very tough. For the power the plane has Poulan 25cc weed eater engine converted to RC. Even the engine uses gasoline, there is no spark ignition - just a glow plug. This conversion is cheap, light and reliable yet more powerfull than with original magneto ignition.

Nice build!! I'd really like to see the plans, but the address for the webpage in the beginning of the video doesn't work :o(. Anyone know where the plans can be found? (i'm interested in the 3 part "fold up" fuselage-type Cub) Thx.

SPAD website went down - sad. I hope the content is not lost forever. Send me your e-mail. I still have all plans (25 PDF documents total of 4MB) and I can e-mail them to you.

Me impreciona tu forma de hacer aeromodelismo ya que tu fabricas tu propio piper cub y la satifacción debe de ser aun mayor te felicito. Un saludo fraterno y un abraso desde Antofagasta, Chile.

There is really 2 things to do when your glueing Coro. Clean both surfaces well with Denatured Alcohol, then flame or flash it. Thats where you lick the surface with a torch to get rid of the factory oils and treatments. Requires some practice, use scraps.

I've glued before without flashing just cleaning, but you might want to flash just to be sure. Then add drops of CA glue, not too much or it will slip and not glue together. Hope this helps, PM> me if you have any questions.
