I am in the process of restoring a 1946 J3 for a four person partnership. One of the owners is a flight instructor, he asked me what I would charge to recover their J3. “Just teach my son to fly in my Tripacer”was my answer. My business model after retirement is not to make any money, so far I’m following the model perfectly. Anyone else need something done? This should be flying by late winter or early spring. They are building up an 85 stroker. I an using Stewart’s Systems to avoid the solvents. I know not everyone likes a shiny Cub, but I can’t bring myself to add a flattener to the top coat. It will be nonelectric with a battery powered Trig comm. I’ll post more as we move along on the project.
