Description
I know some of you have been waiting for a Piper J-3 Cub kit card! Pray a little harder and I may yet add the Super Cub ;)
Produced between 1938–1947, designed to be an inexpensive every-man's light aircraft, it became one of the most produced aircraft of all time with almost 20,000 models created, many of which still airworthy today.
It is often cited as the model-T of aeroplanes, paving the way for reliable and affordable civilian aircraft.
If you ever find your way near Lock Haven PA like I did, I highly recommend a visit to the old factory grounds where most Piper J3 Cubs were manufactured, and a fantastic museum now resides.

I was sure I had more….
-----------------------------------------------
Unlike my older kit cards there is only one tightness variant, which if you find is not loose enough, try setting outer walls to print first, I found this to be the magic ingredient for my Ender 3's.
Included is a Frameless variant for those uninterested in the sprue card format.
You can make it EVEN TIGHTER by increasing the Z-scale by 15%.
For those uninterested in the card format, there is a frameless variant included!
------------------------------------------------------------
Print at 0.2mm layer height, there really is no benefit from printing at a higher resolution and it could affect the fit.
Be sure to print with 100% infill for it to hang straight as the weight distribution can be sensitive!
Having trouble getting the tolerances just right? Set Outer Walls to print first.
Makes greatly appreciated, always glad to see them! Happy Printing!
