RE: New plane for small engine?
Very nice.
I like the idea of a cub. I can use foamies for 3D practice later on, (I have a few, just not really an electrics nut yet). I currently only use my rudder for crosswind landings and those sideways 'nose-overs', (whatever they're called). Occasionally I will try a knife-edge, but the 'pitch coupling ' , (or is it 'roll coupling'?), brings my plane around toward the pits and ...I get nervous when my plane is coming toward the pits, even when it's high and far away, (beginner nerves).
I like the pitts style muffler idea....they sound better. Before today, I thought I had a useless engine or a pricey paperweight. It's good to know that I can put it to use.
