Default RE: 1/5 scale Cub, full or clipped wing?

I built my SIG 1/5 scale Cub with the full wing- I have never actually seen a clipped-wing full size Cub, and I wanted mine to be realistically modeled after the one I rode in when I was 5 yrs old. It flies great. Nice and slow and graceful. If you want a faster roll rate and less glide, build it clipped. I have never even rolled mine with the full wing, as I tend to fly it in more of a scale manner the way *MOST* Cubs were flown. Sure, some people did some light aerobatics in Cubs, but not where I grew up. Stall turns were the most exciting thing done in the light planes I grew up flying in. Enjoy.
