Nice lighting, Steve! I'm likely leaning that direction myself with my build. Might as well, as I'm still in the bones stages of building. I just began my SuperCub a month and a half ago, and am impressed with the quality of the kit components, wood and plans. It's been a pleasure so far. I'll be using a 3W56B2 with mufflers on mine. I toyed with the canister idea, but cringed at the extra work required to tunnel in two of them. Anyways, the 56 has gobs of power with stack mufflers anyways.

The servo in the tail question..... By all accounts, most 1/3 BUSA Cubs/Supercubs come in a little tail heavy as built per the plans, but choosing engines such as the G-62 or a twin seem to b sufficient to balance it out more or less. Consider this, though. For every ounce of weight added to the tail region of this plane, you have to offest that with roughly 4 ounces in the firewall area. Not a big deal, but something to ponder.

I've sure learned a lot from Tony's and other's build threads on other sights. Can't wait for spring!!
