Default Advise on ARF Cub please

Hello,
I have an OS.91 FS (surpass II) that I would like to put in an ARF Cub, but I don't seem to find one that warrants an engine of this size. Do any of you know where I may look to find one that this engine will be at home in?
Thanks
Mickm

Try the Goldberg Cub .40 ARF . It lists the .91 four stroke as a possible candidate, and it should make a really nice airplane. Plenty of power(obviously), but with the right prop and good throttle management, it can still be flown in a scale-like manner.

I have a Goldberg .40 size Cub with a .60 2stroke, which just squeezes in the cowl....You might want to look at a .60 size plane, the Surpass will yank it around with ease, and will fit better for looks. Ask 10 people get 11 answers.......Cliff

Gonna try to upload a picture of a Surpass .70 in a new Hangar 9 .40 size Cub...If it works you can see how it looks then figure your .91 will be a bit larger. Upload won't work for me...check my photo galley I'll put a couple there. Cliff

I just bought one the other day and I put a Saito 82 in it no problem. 91 should be just fine.

I had a Thunder Tiger Cub [82 in wingspan] with a Saito .91 and it was a very nice setup. Fly at half throttle and less, looked and sounded good. The model itself was very strong and well built. I would buy one again.
