Hey Curt,
Thanks for the pic's and it looks good! If I do decide to clip it, I'm going to do it the way you did. But I think I'm still going to keep it two piece either way. By the way, which engine are you using? I'm going with a four stroke in mine but not sure if I should put a 54 or 75 in it. I'm sure the 54 would be fine but I would like to have some extra power and I'm wondering if the 75 will just be overkill and mostly wasted....????
And Cowboylifersaver, no, I haven't touched it yet....I have a few more projects I want to get done before I start on it.
Thanks!

Five years ago when I bought this plane new, I had a NIB OS .46AX 2 stroke laying around so that is what is in there along with a Pitts muffler. It had tons of power when it was an 81", but now that I clipped the wings, I find myself wanting just a little more power for some extreme non-scale aerobatics (trying to make a 3D machine out of it.. ha ha). The .46AX still flies it fine though but I do have an OS .61 4 stroke that I have been pondering putting in the Cub for a little more grunt and better sound. I also have a TT .91 4 stroke but that may be a little extreme for my Cubby.
I would probably go with a 72 size 4 stroke. It would be a great combo for that airframe and would work well with floats. A .91 is slight overkill... but hey... whatever floats your boat!!
Cheers
Curt
