Foamboard Alternative to Hobbyzone Super Cub LP (FREE PLANS)

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 :LOL:)

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.

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. :mad: :LOL:

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