I think so too w8ye. I like the cub yellow, it shows up good in the air. I'll put a couple stripes on the under part of the wing outboard, and put two 5 inch stars on each wing like I did with the fourstar60. I installed the servo for the wing and soldered the connectors on the rods, and installed them. I put a charge switch on the side. I forgot to put the voltwatch on the side. I'll take the swich out and cut a little grove for the wire and reinstall the switch. I put the tank in, I have to put the throttle cable in, when I do that i'll put some 1/2" foam beside the tank. I put some flooring foam, used for laminent flooring under the tank, as I didn't want to raise it much. also the battery, I put in some foam and pushed it as far forward as i could. I'll put the engine on when I balance the plane. I've really enjoyed the build. I'm looking forward to nice weather to get it flying.

I installed the voltwatch. Then the receiver. Mounted the engine. I'm as far forward as I dare go, and I'll have to add 3 1/2 ounces to the front. I'll put on a brass weighted spinner and add some lead. I don't think putting on a smaller tailwheel will make much difference. I have a 1" on there now. I have a 3/4 one here, but I think I'll leave the bigger one on as i fly off grass.

i know i'll enjoy this airplane w8ye. I think they fly the best of any trainer i've seen. It's large enough to see, and will fly slow. I have an 11x5 prop on it. All finished now. I have to add about 3 1/2 ounces of weight on the front. I'll put on brass solid spinner on the front, then make up the rest with weight on the firewall. Each time you build, you lean a bit more. It would have been easy to dowl the wings and screw them on instead of elastic, but that's ok.
