I prefer the clipped wing, and I'll tell you why - then you can decide.

The original Cub was designed back in the 1938 when engines had the power of a gnat fart, so it needed that huge wing to get off the ground. In the years that followed, more powerful engines were made. Anyone who could afford the bigger engine switched to it and clipped the wing for better performance.

Our models are so grossly overpowered (Compared to Full Scale planes) that the full wing is simply not needed. But don't think that clippeng the wing is going to make it "Hot". It will still float like a butterfly.

The DISadvantage of the full size wing on the model is that the larger wing creates considerably more adverse yaw. Enough that it can be seen from the ground. In FS planes, they always coordinate their turns with rudder, so more adverse yaw is not that big of a deal - they simply add more rudder. But with a model, we rarely need to use rudder in a turn, so why have to start?

Now of course, if you LIKE that type of flying, by all means build the full size wing. But if you just want a plane that you can fly practically without having to think about it, go with the Clipped wing.

With that said, I will go on to say that the Clipped-wing Goldberg Cub is one of my all-time favorite planes ever!
