I bought this a while ago as a replacement airframe for my super Cub LP.

After finding it the other day I was going to sell it, but I used an RC sim to remind me of how much fun the Super Cub was and want one all over again. After looking through all my motors and parts I realised I could build this out of the bits that I already had with the included 380 brushed motor or a 2200Kv inrunner I had. The calculations worked out well with the inrunner on 2cells and it weighed about the same as the brushed original. More power has to be better right?
So I built it with a little deviation from the plans here and there. As it's an ARTF and I don't have a good bench facility I had to rely on the airframe being straight, it wasn't totally. But given the Crash-A-Minute nature of my flying and the fact that I'm returning to flight after a break, it's probably best not to get too precious about airframes and they soon end up twisted and messy.
Here she is:
Now I just need to maiden her. Do you guys think the rubber bang motor mount will hold or would zip ties be a better option?
