This manual is divided into sections to help make assembly easier to understand, and to provide breaks between each
major section. In addition, check boxes have been placed next to each step to keep track of each step completed. Steps
with a single box (
repeating, such as for a right or left wing panel, two servos, etc. Remember to take your time and follow the directions.
) are performed once, while steps with two boxes ( ) indicate that the step will require
• 30-Minute Epoxy (HAN8002) • Formula 560 Canopy Glue (PAAPT56)
• CA Remover/Debonder (PAAPT16) • Pacer Z-42 Threadlock (PAAPT42)
UltraCote Covering Colors
• Cub Yellow HANU884
Before Starting Assembly
Before beginning the assembly of the Piper J-3 Cub, remove each part from its bag for inspection. Closely inspect
the fuselage, wing panels, rudder, and stabilizer for damage. If you find any damaged or missing parts, contact the
place of purchase.
If you find any wrinkles in the covering, use a heat gun or sealing iron to remove them. Use caution while working around
areas where the colors overlap to prevent separating the colors.

Hinging the Control Surfaces
Required Parts
• Stabilizer (2) • Elevator (2)
• Wing (left and right) • Rudder
• Aileron (left and right) • Fuselage
• CA hinge (19)
Required Tools and Adhesives
• Rotary tool • T-pins
• Thin CA
• Drill bit: 1/16-inch (1.5mm)
Step 1
Use a rotary tool and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit to drill a
hole in the center of each of the three hinge slots in both
of the stabilizers.
Step 3
Position the hinge in the stabilizer. The slot in the hinge
will align with the hole drilled in the stabilizer.
Step 4
Slide the hinges in the elevator. Position the stabilizer
and elevator so there is as little gap between the two as
possible without restricting movement. Align the tips of
the stabilizer and elevator.
Note: While your rotary tool is out,
drill the holes in the elevators, ailerons,
wing, rudder and fin as well.
Step 2
Place a T-pin in the center of three CA hinges.
8
Hinging the Control Surfaces
Step 5
Apply thin CA to the top and bottom of each of the three
hinges. Make sure to saturate each hinge so there is
enough CA to wick into the hinge and bond with the
surrounding wood.
Note: Do not use CA accelerator on the
hinges. The CA must be allowed to wick
fully into the hinge to provide the best bond
between the hinge and the surrounding wood.
Step 7
Flex the elevator up and down a number of times to break
in the hinges.
Step 6
Allow the CA plenty of time to cure. Once cured, pull on
the elevator and stabilizer to make sure the hinges are
fully glued into position.
9
Hinging the Control Surfaces
Step 8
Repeat Steps 1 through 8, and using five hinges per
aileron, hinge the ailerons to the wing panels.
Landing Gear Installation
Step 9
Repeat Steps 1 through 8, and using three hinges, hinge
the rudder to the fin/fuselage.
Required Parts
• Fuselage • Wheel assembly (2)
• Wheel axle (2) • Cross brace
• Wing strut tab (2) • 4-40 locknut (6)
• 4-40 setscrew (2)
• Assembled shock strut (2)
• Wheel collar w/setscrew (2)
• Main gear strut (right and left)
• 4-40 x 1/2-inch socket head screw (2)
• 4-40 x 5/8-inch socket head screw (4)
• 8-32 x 3/4-inch socket head screw (8)
• #2 x 5/8-inch sheet metal screw (8)
Required Tools and Adhesives
• Threadlock
• Hex wrench (included in kit for wheel collars)
• Phillips screwdriver (#1)
• Hex wrench: 3/32-inch, 1/8-inch
• Nut driver: 1/4-inch
Step 1
Locate the left and right main gear struts and the wing
strut tab. Attach the front of the landing gear using two
8-32 x 3/4-inch socket head screws. The rear is also
secured to the fuselage using four 8-32 x 3/4-inch socket
head screws, but the wing strut tabs are positioned
between the landing gear and fuselage.
Note: Be sure the 6-32 bolts that
secure the landing gear legs to the
landing brackets are snug to minimize
vibration, but allow for movement
10
Note: Use threadlock on the
8-32 x 3/4-inch socket head screws
to prevent them from vibrating loose in flight.
Landing Gear Installation
Note: In Step 2, leave the screws
loose in the gear until all the struts
and cross brace are in position.
Step 2
Use two 4-40 x 5/8-inch socket head screws and two
4-40 locknuts to attach the shock struts to the main
landing gear struts. The cross brace also uses two
4-40 x 5/8-inch socket head screws and 4-40 locknuts
to attach to the gear near the fuselage. Last, use two
4-40 x 1/2-inch socket head screws and two 4-40
locknuts to attach the shock struts to the cross brace.
Step 4
Secure the wheel collar to the axle by tightening
the setscrew onto the flat of the axle with the included
hex wrench.
Note: Use threadlock on the setscrew to
prevent it from vibrating loose in flight.
Step 3
Locate the main wheel and remove the front and rear hubs
from the wheel.
Step 5
Slide the rear hub into the wheel. The rear hub is
identified as the one without the holes going through the
hub for the screws. Slide the longer portion of the axle
into the hub, then slide the front hub into the wheel.
Note: The photo does not show
the wheel to illustrate how the wheel
collar is placed between the two wheel
hubs to hide the wheel collar.
11
Landing Gear Installation
Step 6
The front and rear hubs will key together when
installed properly. Once installed, use four #2 x 5/8-inch
sheet metal screws to secure the hubs together. Check
the rotation of the wheel when installing the screws.
If the wheel does not rotate, loosen the screws slightly
until it does.
Step 8
To complete the wheel installation, snap the hub cap
onto the wheel.
Step 9
Repeat Steps 3 through 8 to install the remaining wheel.
Step 7
Use a 4-40 setscrew to secure the axle to the main landing
gear.
Note: Use threadlock on the setscrew to
prevent them from vibrating loose in flight.

Step 1
Slide the 6
in the stabilizer.
3
/8-inch (162mm) joiner into the forward hole
Step 2
Slide the stabilizer into the slot in the fuselage. Use two
6-32 x 3/4-inch socket head screws and two #6 washers
to secure the stabilizer.
Note: Leave the screws loose until
instructed to tighten them.
Step 3
Slide the remaining stabilizer into the slot in the fuselage.
The tubes from the first stabilizer will key into the second
stabilizer. Use two 6-32 x 3/4-inch socket head screws
and two #6 washers to secure the stabilizer. Once all four
screws have been started, tighten each one, but avoid
crushing the underlying wood.
Note: Use threadlock on the four 6-32 screws
to prevent them from vibrating loose in flight.
13
Stabilizer Installation
Step 4
Attach the tail wheel assembly to the fuselage using two
#6 x 5/8-inch sheet metal screws. The forward screw
goes through the gear and into the fuselage, while the rear
screw goes through the two large strut support brackets,
then through the gear and into the fuselage.
Step 5
Attach the two small strut support brackets to the fin
using a 4-40 x 5/8-inch socket head screw and a 4-40
locknut. There will be a bracket on the right and left of
the fin when complete.
Step 6
Remove the clevis from each of the support rods. Use a
hobby knife to clean the paint from the threads. Thread a
2-56 nut onto the threads, then replace the clevis.
Step 7
Use a 4-40 x 5/8-inch socket head screw and 4-40
locknut to attach the support rods to the stabilizer. The
longer 10-inch (254mm) rod attaches to the top of the
stabilizer, while the shorter 9
attaches to the bottom of the stabilizer.
