LOVE this J3. Beautiful build. Decals are looking superb , as good as Factory made.
Looking so good, tempting me to make one.
Any one have plans for 35-40'' wingspan.

Very clean build Kiran; great job  :thumbsup: {:)}

Is the wing from balsa, or from biofoam also?

You might want to put a layer of clear packing tape on the foam. I once had a wing (FT Nutball) fold up n me - after the tape it was much stronger
