New plane
 
Just bought a 60 size Piper cloth covered, has a OS 46 2 stroke, To small? Thinkging about 91 Saito! Good choice?

Cubs don't need much power. Try it with the existing engine first.

I had a 80" cub. Was too hot with a 46FX. Then changed to a 40LA but had to fly around at low throttle. Then to a Magnum 52 so I could run it around at low throttle all day.

That's what this plane is, 80" cloth covered, still try it? I'll take your word for it!!

It should be just fine. I know the plane looks huge in the house but it will be just about right at the field.

With the Cub, be careful with cross winds until you get used to it.
