Finally got the Cub tamed down and it is turning out to be a fun flyer. Reflexed the ailerons up a bit, reduced the elevator and rudder throws, and took my time getting it trimmed out properly so everything works with that twisted fuselage. Put on 4.5 inch wheels and the CG is at 29% of chord back from the leading edge with no fuel. I am still having trouble getting it slowed down for landings based on my experience flying it so far. Nothing gentle about the way this thing stalls, but I am sure with a bit more flying I will get it slowed down enough for decent landings on my 210 foot field. Here's a short video.....
