Oh My God thats going to be a over powered Cub. Just my 2 cents but It's a Cub, You can put just so large of a engine till the airframe won't go any faster. I found mine with a saito .62 their is little change in performance from half throttle to Full. It takes off and climbs at 3/4. Thoes engines in full scale would be like replaceing the Continental C-85 with a Continental IO-470 Good luck you will love the Kit.

Not necessarily. You have to take weight into consideration and flying style. My cub will be very scale and full of detail that will add lots of extra weight. The extra power will not be used to race the cub around pylons but rather a little bump to get out (or in) to trouble quickly. Just my flying style... Appreciate the opinion though.
