Nothing to look out for as I recall, but I would suggest you build the clipped wing. IMHO they fly much better than the full size wing

I'm currently building the clipped wing version of this kit and have built and fly the 76" wingspan also. This kit was the first R/C kit I built, so if I could put it together and actually get it off the ground, it must be a good one!! The full wing Cub will definitely fly and handle on the ground like a Cub! Once I learned how to use the rudder on take offs and not to rush it into the air, it was a very nice plane to fly. The full winger won't be as aerobatic as the clipped version, but if you like 'slow scale' flying, it'll be a lot of fun. My full wing version uses a Saito .56 for power, and I'm planning to install a Saito .72 in my clipped wing "hot rod" version.
