This is my first ever plane that I ahve designed named the ChubCub. I know its not what most find here on flitetest and don't get me wrong I love some foamys but decided to go the Balsa route for this one. I had a lot of help from a couple of members of The Profile Brotherhood website also known as the ProBro's. My goal was to build a Cub that could 3D with the best of them and I am very happy with the results.

This video has what will be my final setup on the plane. Originally I was running an Emax 2812 1600kv motor with a 9x5 GWX prop and 18amp ESC. I have since switched to a Hacker A20-20L with a 10x3.5 prop and 25amp ESC.
Sorry pictures are kinda out of order.
Needed more aileron control so I made Depron extensions and taped them on. Now that they are as effective as I would like them to be I will build new ones.
