FMS PA-18 1300mm strut replacement
Purpose: These components are designed to replace the plastic wing struts on the FMS PA-18 1300mm Super Cub with carbon fibre rods. The author notes the design is not perfect, as the front strut is swept forwards slightly, causing a small bend in the strut. Practical Uses: Replacing weak plastic struts with carbon fibre to improve the model's structure. Included Parts: - Fuselage 4mm.stl - Wing 4mm.stl - Fuselage 3mm.stl - Wing 3mm.stl Printing/Assembly Guidance: Printing: Use a material with good layer adhesion such as Nylon (the author used Taulman PCTPE), ABS, or ASA. Do not use PLA. Print with supports and good tolerances. Assembly: 1. Cut carbon fibre rods (4mm or 3mm, at least 350mm each) to an approximate length. 2. Test-fit the rods into the fuselage pieces. 3. Glue struts into the fuselage piece using CA (super/krazy glue). Warning: CA bonds almost instantly and permanently. 4. Install the fuselage piece and trim the struts to the correct length. Use the wing pieces to verify the length, which is approximately 330-345mm. 5. Glue the wing pieces, ensuring correct orientation. Note that CA will bond instantly.
