Hello all,

I just received as a gift, a partially completed kit.

The specifics: (From GP's website)

Piper J-3 Cub 40
Stock Number: GPMA0160
Wingspan: Standard Wing: 76.5 in (1945 mm) Clipped Wing: 61.5 in (1560 mm)
Wing Area: Standard Wing: 820 in² (52.9 dm²) Clipped Wing: 653 in² (42.1 dm²)
Weight: 6.5-7.5 lb (2950-3400 g)
Length: 49 in (1245 mm)
Requires: 2-stroke .40-.60 cu in (6.5-10 cc) or 4-stroke .48-.70 cu in (8-11.5 cc); 4-channel radio; 2+ rolls MonoKote

The previous owner has completed the wing. (standard configuration) And got a good start on the fuselage.

Multiple questions.

1. Anyone build/fly this plane?
2. What would be a "real nice" motor/prop combo for it? I'll listen to both 2-stroke and 4-stroke recommendations.
3. Any tip/tricks with this plane???

I'm not looking to build an uber-accurate scale plane. I just want a nice flying, stand-off scale, airplane.

With regards to performance, I'm looking for something a bit better then scale. But no where near "wild-and-crazy".. It's a cub, it's not Mustang... I want to be able to tool around 1/2 throttle or so.. maybe goose it up to 3/4 to do a loop or climb.. Nothing too crazy...
