Re: Full length super cub wings on a sort wing piper
What are the folks that are "building" producers using for plans? or are they just modifying factory pacers?

The Producer is an STC'd modification done by Steve Bryant.

Re: Full length super cub wings on a sort wing piper
I realize that this post is quite a few months old now but would Pa-14 or Pa-18 wings that are squared off at the ailerons with either no tip, splates or perhaps the shorter Dakota Cub tip work on a stock length fuselage experimental Pacer equipped with SC horizontal stabilizer and elevator? Removing the bow tips would take off a combined length of 56". This would give you a total wing length not including the fuselage width of 352". A stock Pacer wing with the bow tips is around 304". The Pa-14 wings would be ideal with the larger flaps and the internal aileron control cables. Would having the squared off wing increase the roll rate due to the aileron being located at the tip?

In general ailerons further outboard will increase roll rate. The 14 has a different aileron because of the ailerons leading edge which apparently is an improvement. Lengthening your wings to what sounds like about 33 feet, even if you install 18 elevators, may run out of elevator without lengthening the fuselage. The 14 wing is rare and may be difficult to find unless you build your own.
