Status: offline 		I would like to get my hands on a pair of those 8.5 inch wheels. They would give the 1/3 cub a bush plane look. And how nice that would be in flying out of grass.

This bird can handle anything...

I have a set of the Hemple wheels coming. 75.00 bucks , but, they need 1/4 inch axles, and are solid foam.....they may not work out. I would prefer pnuematic wheels.

Status: offline 		Mine flies slow on calm days. especially with the flaps down. Smooooooooth, no bouncing around in the air and very realistic like slow flight and landings. But I am using only a Fuji 64cc for power. The 64 is plenty for this plane. I think World models suggests a 80cc size for the added weight.

Status: offline 		I was flying mine in 10mph gusting to 15 Saturday and having a ball. 20 degrees of flaps and two clicks off idle just hangs there. I have a 65cc Stihl 4 stroke in mine. Great 4stroke sound is perfect for this airplane.

Status: offline 		Did you take the Stihl engine out of a backpack blower or can you get the engine alone without removing it from a tool?
What modifications did you do to the engine to make it work in the airplane? Prop adapter, exhaust, engine mount, etc.

Status: offline 		Ok, I need help. I've got a DA100 (a cub needs a twin you know), Wallace gear, 7" wheels, all my digital MG servos and receiver. All I need is a plane. But, I can't make up my mind whether to get the Super Cub or the Clipped Wing Cub. Whats some of the key differences between the two? Are they really the same plane with the exception of the flaps? Thanks, Jerry.

Status: offline 		a clipped wing Cub is more Aerobatic. Doesn't float quite as much as a normal wingspan Cub.

Status: offline 		Amen on the cub needs a twin.mine is the full wing version. I put a DL 100 on my cub and really like it the heads sticking out look cool and the extra OMG power is sweet, and sounds cool to. plenty of power to hover and pull straight up. And nice to fly around at 1/4 throttle. When its time to land just idle way down and let her float in for an nice soft landing.
