Eric,

Your Cub turned out great. I was following your build thread. I have a Carden still on the bench and a couple smaller projects to finish and then I plan to build the 1/3 scale Balsa USA J3. I hope it turns out as nice as your 1/4 scale.

hmmm i have a goldberg 73" cub. think the 20 would 3-d it? now is the time as it is just getting covered.

sub

Don't want to start anything but just because a cub has so much power it can hover it does not mean it can 3D. Mac Hodges hovers his B29 but does it 3D ? On the posted video I saw a cub that could torque roll because it had the power to allow it but I didn't see 3D flight. BTW I enjoyed it and Dave Sullivan did a great job with the plane, it looked like a lot of fun.

Isn't 3d any post stall flight?

nope. that would make a hammerhead 3d maneuver. i think not!

On a hammerhead, you are not flying while the wing is post stall.

3D flying =

The plane is using engine thrust, instead of lift generated by the Wings to remain airborne.

man you guys will find anything to argue about

Hi

My world models piper with 3W 140. I had a DA 100 and then changed it to a 3W 140 that I had as I wanted more Power to tow my 9 Meter Paritech Glider. It is overkill I know but have not had any problems and did not do any mods to the plane.
It torque rolls on 1/4 throttle with no problem.

Will retire it soon as we just ordered the Aeroworks piper.

Sorry dude, not much, but it is post stall I think I even saw you do one of those once

I just think its fun to see what a plane can do. Weather it will 3D or not, it will sure be fun trying. Ordered my 1/4 Cub last night and found these floats on eBay, link below. Think I will give them a try. Also, Ive decided to go with the Mintor 33cc engine. Seems to be the lightest and most powerful in the 30cc class engine.

I am going for the scale look here with twins out of the cowl. I am a little concerned that I won't have enough power.
