Default 1/4 scale cub engine

Thank you Walter!
Exactly the kind of information Im looking for. Ive built 4 models so far, however, none have been scale nor have I used a cowl yet.
Ive done a little research on cub kits and Sig advises the 1/4 scale clipped wing is for advanced builders. Most folks say the Great Planes version is simpler, but, I still dont know what aspect of the build theyre refering to. I guess it doesnt matter, Ive already ordered the kit and should receive it next wed.
LHS owner says the Sig is built stronger than the Great Planes and since hes seen all the planes Ive built so far, he says Ill have no trouble, I hope hes right, Id like to have this one flying by 1st of spring.
Of coarse Ill be covering this with fabrick, which I like very much compared to Monocote, I used it on my 4 star 120 and it turned out great. What I didnt like was the paint and clear i used which was Lustercote. Im thinking this time ill go with automotive paint, I just havnt been able to find a great deal of assistance anywhere when it comes to painting fabrick, I REALLY want this to be a perfect job, Im going to duplicate Hazel Sigs paint scheme on her full scale cub.
As always, thanks for assistance.
