I would just build a mini scout. The cub at 100% flies alright, but I doubt it would fly very well at 60% unless you are really able to cut the weight down by a least 60% as well.Or a 60%. 26.62 inch wingspan. Would that work?

Ya, I tried to make a 30" cub, it still doesn't fly. There are some changes I want to try but the scout is a lot better, as far as I've accomplished.I would just build a mini scout.

Wow! Gorgeous little cub, are their plans for it?Its this one.

A pretty near scale 40" span Super Cub but it is not made of foam board so arguably its cheating.
It uses a conventional 'built up' structure but from 2 mm Depron sheet, the original stiff Depron that is no longer available. The only other materials are balsa for the wing structs, wire for the undercarriage and some small bits of acetate sheet. Even the wheels are Depron. It has four 3.7 g servos although the rudder is connected to the aileron channel so it is flown 3ch bank and yank.
A picture of it supported just by its wing tips with 550 g of steel blocks on the top of the fuselage.

I'm not saying it would fly like that but it might with a single 242 g block, its normal flying weight, fixed under the fuselage between the UC legs.
Maybe!
nice!Its this one.

Thanks! I think I might build one of my own, maybe out of foam board though.william Metge
Sorry no plans as such as it was build from this 3 view suitably 'blown up' to the required size.

There are a few fuselage sections but the detail of the internal structure was rather made up as I went along.

Black Bart is ready to maiden! Pretty happy with the end result, weight without battery is 903 grams which I feel is pretty respectable for a plane this size. View attachment 200434 View attachment 200435 View attachment 200436 View attachment 200437 View attachment 200438
We're nuts to be doing this out of foamboard.I used this same 3 view to build this little depron indoor flyer.

Really well done! I am impressed!I used this same 3 view to build this little depron indoor flyer.
That is the problem with CPBD. First U go nuts, then insane, and if U R not careful, this could eventually lead to a divorce.
