My Kadet Sport flew well on a .32 sized motor, but came to life when I installed a .52 sized electric. My kit built Senior flies well, but is over powered, flying on a .91 4 stroke.

For 10 years before I retired, I stocked up on the kits, engines, etc., that I wanted. I still have one kit left after 10 years.

I'm glad to see that you had the perseverance to continue, when many others have slowed, or halted, their project.

I'm glad that your Cub was an easy fix. It gave us extra time to shoot the bull.

I suggest that you build your Kadet Senior, next. Then we could fly our Seniors in tandem.
