interesting take on it? I see the point as its a tail dragger but I give most of my introductory flights with my cub. In the case of the great planes cub or any GP kit the airfoil is not scale. more of an advanced trainer, ground handling is not as you say. I have more ground handling problems with most trainers than the cub and a 60 sized motor in the 60 sized plane is the right power for it. It was also my second plane and has been most of my students. Either way get what plane gets you closer to your prefered style of model. just a suggestion. keep em safe keep em flyin
