RE: "newbie" prop question
Sandore has an interesting project on his hands, because of the challenge. He has a plane that flys about as well as the Wright Bros' did and it would be interesting to see what subtle changes could be made to put it over the top.
Weight reduction! I'm not talking about drilling a bunch of holes in balsa, but if updating the onboard equipment is doable, then he'll end up with a better flying plane. It will be interesting to hear what Doug Galbreath has to say about the Cub. He seems like a nice guy and I'll bet he wouldn't mind spending a minute to lend advice about the CUB and give his opinion about what it's limits are.
I know one thing.....before spending $40 on a .061 Cub, I'd spend the same money on a AP WASP .061 from Tower Hobbies.
