RE: OS 70 in a clipped wing cub

Hi Grey Beard. Was your Cub a clipped wing or a full wing version? My cowl is also a little weighty at 3.6 oz. Think this will be an issue?

OS 70 in a clipped wing cub

Hi,

Currently building a Great Planes J3 cub in the clipped wing version. I was going to power it with an OS 70 four stroke. Will this plane be too under powered? Your comments please.

RE: Mounting a 4 stroke inverted
