Default RE: Regular or Clipped Wing Cub

The full wing cub was designed back when the biggest engine they had was a squirrel in a cage.

The Clipped wing version is built they way it should be if you're using anything bigger than a .20 in a .40 size cub.

Too many people think that the clipped wing is for aerobatics. A clipped wing cub will still be one of the most graceful planes you will ever fly.

You simply don't need that big surfboard on top, all it does is contribute to adverse yaw, and prevent you from doing some nice aerobatics when you want them.
