Looking for advice and opinions on installing a C-85 vs O-200 on a J4. I've been told that the O-200 will necessitate adding extra weight in the tail to balance the CG, thus giving similar performance as a J4 with a C-85.
Also, any opinions on best prop for J4 climb performance?

J3 engine mount won’t fit inside pa11 cowling unless you do a lot of modification. I bought the stc from Attlee dodge. For the conversion. It doesn’t address the engine mount. Pa11 cowling and pa18-95 cowling pieces are not exactly the same pa11, they are slightly longer do to the pa18-95 has a swing mount. I went to univair and had them line the cowlings up next to each other

There was an article in the cub clues some time ago about doing this.we were able to convert a j3L to a j3C using this info. First you must look at the airframe serial number and see if it shows up on both type certificates. If it does then you can follow this process. The piper change over parts list is in available in the erection manual. (I might have the name of this manual wrong) I saved copies of the article and could send them to you.

Here is a 337 to ponder while you make a decision. For J3s I am putting a radio in the wing root for a customer as well as a transponder an SkyBeacon in left wing tip.

Perhaps if you get a color chart from Poly Fiber, or Stewart Systems, or whatever type of finish you plan to use, that will get you closest to your existing shade.

Hi.
Can anyone give me a color code for the light cream used on the J4 please. A close match will do.
Thanks
