Default RE: Which Cub Builds Easiest ??

beenie,
I agree about the Goldberg, I once flew with my battery pack too low (stupid)and lost the plane. It climbed and circled for 12 mmin until it ran out of fuel, it had to be at least 6,000ft altitude. After the engine died it glided in a big circle and finally came down 3 miles up the road and hit the only object in a farm field, a farm truck with plywood bed sides. The engine went through a 3/8 sheet of plywood and the plane dropped to the ground. The next week the cub was flying again
It looks like the 1/5 Cub is a much improved kit over the 1/6 and should make for a very fun build. I have purchased a set of Bob Nelitz 1/3 scale plans that I will start on as soon as I finish the 1/5. All I need is a UPS truck full of Balsa wood
Later!!
