RE: why a cub?
I bought an older Ikon n West 1/4 scale Cub at a club swap meet a few years back, it had an old Supertiger 2500 in it and could have used a recover job. To this day I have NEVER flown a more enjoyable airplane! it was majestic, beautiful and just a joy to take off and land with. It was however huge and a bit of a pain to assemble every time I flew it so I let a friend talk me out of it for a new Kaos. I still have the Kaos but I keep looking at the big Cubs like the saying goes, "Nothing flies like a Cub" it is still true. BTW my friend recovered the Cub and flew it for a few years. I am building a Goldberg Cub right now with a Saito .80 twin in it... like he said, it is nostalgic but it is something more as well.
