- Sorry it’s been so long since I updated y’all with the progress on my Granddaddy’s 1946 J-3C Cub. I’ve got a little bit done since the last update. Things are fixing to go a LOT FASTER now since I got my engine on. I will try to start doing a update video every week from here on out. Thank you all for watching and following me alone on this AWESOME journey.

Enjoying following along.
Thank you sir!
yes it sure is looking good.
Hello brother Brian! How are ya sir? I greatly appreciate the compliment. 😁👍🏼
Chad... It is looking absolutely fantastic. What detail to workmanship. Thanks so much for the update!! My ole warhorse 65 J3 is only 220 N numbers off from yours. Also born Jan 1946
COOL!!! 😁👍🏼 I have met sooo many Cub owners that has N numbers right close to mine. Two of them is within a couple numbers off and our Cubs where actually side by side in the factory. CRAZY HUH.
I haven't ever seen a restoration like this. This is Museum quality. I've worked on everything from a Taylorcraft BC-12, to a B-1 bomber. But this is the most beautiful aircraft I've ever seen.
So sorry so late seeing this. Not sure how I over looked the notification. But I greatly do appreciate the kind words. If you haven’t seen the latest video of me starting it up then you should watch it. I uploaded the video 4 weeks ago and as of now it’s gotten right at 88.6k views. 😯 It’s so AMAZING how fast it took off. 😁👌🏼 Thanks again for watching!
Nice video and nicer aircraft. You're doing a fine job and God Bless America is right!
Thank you sir! She’s been flying for a year now. 😁👌🏼 Check out some of the other newer videos on my channel. 👍🏼
Thanks for the update. Hurry up and get her finished and start flying her. Get some hours underbelt for when i come down you can take me up in her never been up in a cub but have always wanted to!
Thanks bro! Yes sir....Looking forward to that day to take you up. 😁👍🏼
You’ve been busy,looking great!!!
Yes sir. Thank you so much!! I’m Slowly getting there. Hope to have a update video this week. 😁
Looking good👍🏼 Them two pieces along fuselage that cover hole for horizontal look good made of clear plexiglass so you can keep eye on jack screw and oil it easier.
The Jack Screw cover is made of .020 aluminum. The covers on the back ARE clear. From the factory they had aluminum covers there instead of clear plexiglass and the inspection holes were only on the one side but I wanted to put them on both sides for more excess to get to everything. Thanks for watching.
Great work - thanks for sharing!
I appreciate it brother. 👍🏼😁
What a great looking Cub and with my favorite J-3 power plant. You’ve done an incredible job on this build.
Thank you so much Gary!! It’s been a blast restoring this old girl. 😁
Awesome job, really coming along.
Thanks for watching Dave!
@@ColeAviation i enjoy seeing the progress, takes me back when we did our '46 J3. Definitely holds a special place. You're getting close now.
Great work man. My first fixed wing lessons were in a J3 when I was 15 years old. I can remember flying that cub with the doors open. What great memory’s. Your series makes me want to buy a J-3 and follow your lead! Keep it up.
I greatly appreciate it you watch and following alone with me on this journey. 😁👍🏼 Get you a Cub. You WILL LOVE IT.
Excellent film footage and commentary.
62,☝️ Thanks for the updates looking good
👍🏼😁👌🏼
You have done a great job!!!! I love this plane. We both know who would be very proud of you! Have you considered taking the spindle to a good machine shop and having it built put and machined back to specification? That way you will get to keep the original and as good as new condition. Just a thought. Keep up the good work! Gods Blessings!!
I greatly appreciate it your comment. And yes sir my Granddaddy would absolutely LOVE IT for SURE. as far as the tail wheel... my cousin is a Fantastic machinist but I don’t think this spindle/axle can be fixed because it has the grooves on too for the full casting tail wheel and that would be very hard to fix back if we tried fixing this one.
I didn't realize the grooves. I hope you find a replacement soon.. Keep up the good work!!!! 👍🏻
Great content, do you have any videos on the windshield installation?
Awesome 👍🏼♥️
Thanks bro! I’ll have a new update video this weekend. 😁👍🏼
Purty!
Thanks!
Looking good by the way I built a wing rotator
I greatly appreciate it. Glad to hear that bro. How did it turn out? 😁👌🏼
@@ColeAviation great
@@andrewpaulson2877 Glad to hear that. 👍🏼😁👌🏼
Nice work. What is the source of your fuel valve/sight gauge ?
Thank you very much! I ordered the site gauge from Dakota Cubs.
Aren't you able to have a bushing installed to remove the slop in the tail wheel ? ?
I installed a new bushing already. The spindle/axel is wore out.
