CG Clipped Wing Cub w/ OS .52FS
So, am I kidding myself about not having enough power to get off the water? I have seen a few articles stating that the Magnum 52 is just fine, well I clipped the wings, built it light, and added the CG floats with an OS .52FS up front driving an 11x7 prop. So the big question is... Enough Power?

plenty, but not excessive. I flew my Dads clipped wing CG on floats with a TT 36. it flew just fine, usually at part throttle.

Flew Just Great!
Well, after attending the Wrightsville Dam Fly-In this weekend, I was granted four wonderful flights with my clipped wind Cub with this .52FS Fourstroke, and it flew just fine! Plenty of power, and looked ever so scale!
