Designed less to look like a cub more to fly like one. The prop size, engine power and weight are very close to the actual plane making it pretty enjoyable to fly. "Flaps" added for short landings and takeoffs. When it comes to simple planes it doesnt get any simpler then the cub. Version 3 includes a closer to scale wing span and wing area. This version will lift off right at 60 mph and land on a dime. Top speed is about 170 and gas saving cruze speed (50% throttle) is about 120mph.
