I'm not an expert on Cubs, but I've run my .049 Cub B (the FRV) on Sig 25% nitro, wooden 7x3, and K&B short medium/hot plug successfully on a 1/2A Brodak Cessna stunter with 40 foot dacron lines. It won't drill me into the middle of circle like one of my Bees on a 6x3.5 or 6x3 since it won't make the RPMs, but it is fun. The Cub is certainly short on power for something as large as a PoC with older equipment. I'd suggest something more like a
Half-Pint or
Simplex at 30" to 36" for RC. I want to do a Laumer
Buttons or
Twin Lizzie for mine.

I've never run a OK CUB, but 30% nitro fuel with castor oil could help. You might find that the CUB can put out more thrust with a different prop, like a 6x2, 5x3, 7x3, who knows except a CUB expert? There are still a few CUB runners out there.....Doug Galbreath sells specialty model supplies and he's listed under his name on the internet.
