What I thought would be a quick refit turned into a much longer affair. The old covering was stripped off and the airframe inspected and re-glued/strengthened where necessary.
Originally the wing was held on with elastic bands but I modified it to fit with pegs at the front and bolts to the rear which is a lot sturdier.
It was then covered in Solartex and given a couple of coats of Japlac.
Although not required I made a set of struts from 5mm ali tubing from B&Q, eds from ali sheet fixed to the tubing with Isopon body filler and cross struts from brass tubing. A Cub without struts looks a bit undressed.
The fuselage lettering was cut from Solartrim and the Cub Club France logo was printed on sticky back plastic sheet from Overlander finished with a coat of clear car lacquer to fuel and water proof it.
It was only completed yesterday and has yet to fly. My next job will be to complete the Auster.
Looking at the photos I've just realised that I've fitted the switch to the wrong side!
A few photos are shown below.
