Step 8

Support the fuselage so the wing is not resting on the

work surface. Adjust the strut end so it aligns with the

wing strut mount. Attach the wing struts using two

4-40 x 1/2" socket head bolts and two 4-40 locking

nuts. Once attached, tighten the 4-40 nuts on the strut to

prevent the end from rotating when the wing is removed

for storage.

Step 9

Repeat Steps 1 through 8 to install the remaining wing

panel and strut.

Step 10

Install the fuselage hatch using four #2 x 3/8" screws.

Note: When removing the wing, simply

disconnect the bolts holding the strut to the

fuselage. This will make things much easier

when installing the wing at the field.

Note: The struts on the J-3 Cub are

functional, so be sure all bolts and nuts

are tight before flying. Failure to do so

could result in wing failure.
