Default RE: My Cub flies way too fast!

David... I've an Ultra Stick Lite setup with quad flaps/ailerons (crow mode) and it is a hoot to change the whole nature of its flight envelope by hitting the flap switch. It will put around the sky at a crawl without worry of tip stall and land at walking speed. In the closet is a future build of a Balsa USA 1/4 Cub. I don't recall if it is set up for flaps but I'd probably build them into the plane and maybe set the wing up for the quad configuration (crow mode) somewhat similar to Ultra Stick Lite. I wonder if anyone has set a Cub up thus and just how slow they will fly.
