I built one at 140% and used 9g servos and regular servo horns. Worked just fine.
Very STOL ! I'm going to use it as a glider tow aircraft.

I honestly don’t know. I’ll post more about it on the “any 3D” thread.

I had so many other planes I was wanting to work on, and the Simple Cub never really got me excited. That is, until I had a vision for this one. So glad I did it in hindsight. Going to put on the regular gear tomorrow am and take her for a maiden.
I’ve maidened 3 other FT scratch builds this year, all with great success, and yet I still feel so nervous... like what if it doesn’t fly??? Lol. Or more realistically, what if it flies so poorly that it isn’t fun 😭😂
Part of the journey I suppose 😊
Building them is so much fun though. All the possibilities, the thought of getting her airworthy. Gosh I love this hobby.

That looks amazing! Good luck on the maiden! The Cubs fly really well so I’m sure it’ll go great.

Here's the last one I made, the new one will be a bit more traditional FT style

The parts I ordered from Flite Test arrived today, right on schedule from North Carolina! I’ve been running the Bixler live Cub Build. He goes way faster than I can so I need to keep rewinding. The resizing of plans went well & the Staples girl behind the counter has figured out the I don’t speak their copy artist language.
I’ll keep working on The Phoenix modified Simple Stick to have it ready for the nice weather expected to start tomorrow. I’ll also be burning midnight oil plodding along at slow speed building the Simple Cub. I guess the FT Wire Gear Kit will work just fine on the Cub with the 2” wheels a bit like over size like Tundra Tires.

I think you'll definitely be under the 5.5 lb mark. The original only weighs .9 lb's. If you upscale it the weight really depends on the battery and motor you put on it.

I built a 5 foot Stearman that only weighed 3 lbs

I think you are good. You should make it a twin
