60" Cub or Spitfire

[Andre]

So I have this wonderful new Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 - 3536-1050kv Brushless Outrunner Motor and some 5" wheels.

I'd initially thought I was going to build a 60" FunCub scratch build but now I'm wondering if I should make a 60" Spitfire instead.

SPITFIRE!!

SPITFIRE!!!
But the wheels are to big for both a spit and a cub.

 

[Andre]

5" wheels are used similar to the fun cub which are 120mm (4.7")

Haha, you're asking us what you should build? Dude, you're going to get sooooo many different opinions! What do you like most yourself? Go with that!

I'd love to see a 60" Bloody Wonder :applause:

Well at 60" wing span it has to be able to come apart.

The build starts tonight.

Right now the emails and comments are split pretty evenly.

Fun-Spit?
Warbirds are fun!

Cubs are for geezers - sounds much better in swedish "Cubbar är för Gubbar"

FoamCub!

Wife and kid voted Cub but I'm going to build a Spitfire.

Why did you add a poll of you were just going to build what you wanted anyway?

Sometimes when I'm faced with a tough decision I'll flip a coin. Sometimes after I flip the coin I think to myself "I don't want to do that" and then do the opposite. Sometimes you have to make the choice seem real before you can clearly see which way to go.

 

[Andre]

Eh the comments and open discussion were interesting and fun.

I to be frank figured I would build a big cub but then the idea of a larger Spit took over.

 

[Andre]

Best part I can rip the motor out later and build a cub. It is only foam board.

Now to figure out the motor mount!
