[FONT=&quot]I write from Spain. I'm in love with the little Light Miniature replicas of CUB. In our country are several LM1 and one LM1-2P in fly and its flight is perfect for those that we look for low and slow fly.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I wish, long time ago, to build my own replica of a Piper Cub to fit into the European ULM category. 450 kg maximum weight in flight order.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]For my needs the best option is the LM1-2P, but finding the drawings will be impossible.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I own three plans of Light Miniature: LM5-W, LM1-W, LM2-2P[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]My options are:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Build the LM5-W - discarded by its high weight.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Build a lightened LM5-W, can a version of Clipped wings?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Redraw the plans of the LM1-2P using the information provided by the other plans. The wings are the same as the LM2-2P. This work of reverse engineering is not a problem for me, I am a naval architect by profession.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]

[FONT=&quot]What do you think? All information is grateful.[/FONT]
