Foamboard Alternative to Hobbyzone Super Cub LP (FREE PLANS)

[Taildragger]

Well I had a few people (@FlyerInStyle , @Matthewdupreez to be specific) asking for plans to my PA-12. As promised, I am designing a foamboard PA-18 in similar style and figured I should make it a new version of one of my favorite planes, the Hobbyzone Super Cub LP (sadly discontinued). Because of this I am making this a very versatile cub. Here is an incomplete list of options I will be incorporating:
3 or 4 channel control
Normal wheels, Bushwheels, or Floats
Power Pack B or C
1300-2200 mah packs
3s or 4s (4s not recommended )

So as you can see, configure it as you want! I will probably do 3s 1300 power pack B and 3ch, but I want to let @FlyerInStyle decide what version I should release first.
So, @FlyerInStyle, whats it gonna be?

Specs!
Wingspan: 48in
Weight: unkown
Wing Cube Load: 7-11
Build Skill/5: 3-4
Pilot Skill/5: 2-3

You all know the differences between all the Piper high rag wing are: flaps or not, 3ft wing clipping or not, and wider fuselage or not, and bigger engines and strut layout and sometimes a rear door. Pacers have clipped wings, fat fueslages, and big motors, Pa18's are long wing skinny fuse Pacers. Tri pacers have the training wheel up front. Saying this because a cub variant is a starting point.

LOL you calling that a training wheel is like Ford guys calling these "band-aid stripes".
But I'm with you on the training wheel.

Every version of this particular plane uses the narrow PA18 fuselage.

Either my CAD skills have progressed or this is an easy plane to model, but about 25min of work and I'm pretty far

With all due respect @Taildragger. Good thread.

thats the point, pick and choose what you want, and you still have a great looking cub

I'm so troll-y right now I shouldn't even be here. But you've got a great design going on, community oriented with forethought given to all the options.

Don't waste my time @Taildragger, It BETTER turn out to be an awesome plane.

Ford? Oh yeah, they make dump trucks and, like, Volkswagens right?
