Default RE: Powering a cub


ORIGINAL: BankYank

Im looking for a cub that a OS1.60FS twin will fit in nicely. I was thinking a sig 1/4 scale but after doing a little looking im thinking it might be a little to small. Any Ideas?
I use that same engine to fly my 1/5th scale WACO YMF. It's a bunch heavier than a 1/4 scale cub, and has almost twice 1/3 more wing area. I do most of the flying at under 1/2 throttle. The FT 160 should give a 1/4 scale cub unlimited vertical (until the wings rip off. Well, then you still get unlimited vertical (until you reach the ground).
