Thanks for your help

RE: I want a CUB
I saw a guy put one of these togeather this weekend at the Hodges Hobbies spring fly-in. It was a Hangar9 Cub and he put an Eflite 60 brushless on it. It was nice. I wanted to see it fly but either he was not done yet,, or I missed it.. It was nice to see someone dedicated like me. I was ITCHING to put an ARF togeather while we were there. I had plenty to occupy my time.. LOL.. The Mini Funtana I got for $50. It is awesome..

If you are not afraid assembling a kit you should try the Adrian Page 80" Cub kit. An AXI 2826/12 or a Hyperion 3025/10 on 4S LiPo will give you a nice plane!

RE: I want a CUB
I've had lust for a Cub for a long time and have checked out many of them. The nicest ARF Cub I've seen IMHO is the Hangar 9. It is most scale like and very well made. I plan to power mine with an AXI 4120/18 motor and a 5 cell lipo. This combo should have enough power if you make a floatplane out of it later.
