I retained thedimensionsfor the tail location as it flew pretty well, my excuse for the hard landing was I flew in front of the sun
I have moved the thrust line up 40 mm as the cub tended to pitch up at fullthrottle. I also extended the nose 20 mm to get let me set the CG further forward.
This motor seems to match well with the stock 7" prop that came with the Cub

I also extended the nose 20 mm to get let me set the CG further forward by moving the battery on the power pod.
Also the pod follows the top of the nose at a down angle of 3.75°
