Minnflyer - Squirrel in a cage.... that is pretty funny, unless you saw my WM Piper Cub with a O.S. 30 fourstroke. Everytime I took off, my heart pounded with the thought of it not clearing the tall growth at the end of the runway. Personally, I think that is part of the beauty of the Cub. It's not acrobat. It's a scale joy. That's why I don't really recommend a larger than recommended engine for Cubs.

When I moved from Hong Kong back to Taiwan, I sold the Cub to a friend. The next weekend, my friends told me he had lost it into the sea. He claims that after he "tuned" the engine, he flew it in heavy winds and it just didn't have enough oomph to not be blown away. Although I had never had that problem, I knew the engine was a little on the scale side. I loved that plane!!!
