3D layout of ubiquitous J3 Cub tubular fuselage

[moorem34]

I'm looking for a 3D block or drawing to import into Fusion 360.

I need a full size tubular fuselage layout (3D) for the ubiquitous Piper J3 Cub. 

It needn't be highly detailed or accurate as we're building a parade plane from an non-airworthy tubular airframe that looks like the J3. 

I need to parse out jobs to different people for finishing the plane such as where to put the landing gear, where to put the horizontal stabilizer, what shape does the engine compartment need to be for our fake engine....etc.

Another example...The wing needs to be able to swing around parallel with the fuselage for transport...I'll need to draw something conceptual for others to use as a guide for building.

thanks,

Mark

There are thousands of J3 3view documentation articles on the Net, 

There even more photos, published to the net.

Model aircraft enthusiasts have been doing this for years.

As for the wing mods, are you looking to follow, the Grumman Wildcat / Hellcat, (vertical) or the Comper Swift (horizontal) style

Might help….

I've not been happy with the RC stuff only because they're usually "formed" fuselages that definitely give the fuse it distinctive shape but they're not tubular built. I'll need to "roughly" show attachement methods using gussets and tubes with either rivets or bolts that will attach the things we need to attach. The RC model drawings won't depict this.

The wing...I need a lazy susan type of turn table on the top of the fuselage. The wing will attach to it. The wing never comes off the fuse...it just rotates 90° for transport down the road.

I didn't mention RC plans, due to the question.

Probably don't need a Lazy Susan pic.

YES!! That's the spirit!

Now, I just need a 3D model that I can import to Fusion 360!
