Default ARF Cub

I recently lost my Goldberg Cub and would like to replace it with another Cub but I want an ARF and I would really like to reuse the Saito 80 engine. Now that Great Planes and H9 have stopped making them, whats left?
Does anyone know who's making a quality Cub ARF that can take the Saito?
Thanks
Jeff

If they are making it I thought the Thunder Tiger Cub looked quite good. We had one for a draw once and it looked good. I have a Hangar 9 one myself and from memory they looked quite similar?

I know that Thunder Tiger makes a Cub that size wise would be perfect but I've never seen one so I have no idea of the quality.
If anyone has one or knows someone who has one, I'd like to hear some feedback.
Thanks

The World Models has apparently just come out with a 1/5 scale clipped wing cub in a couple of different color schemes. Wingspan with the clipped wing is 73.2 inches. I have not seen this particular ARF, but I have a couple of world models planes, including the slightly smaller clipped wing cub that they've been producing for a long time, and have been very impressed. High quality covering, construction, etc. Great bang for the buck. Can't go wrong with world models -- just replace the fuel tank.

I've seen WM airplanes at our LHS - you can also get them at www.airborne-models.com and www.quantummodels.com.
