I'm contemplating building a model of the Aeronca LA, LB or LC. This
critter has a 9:1 aspect ratio and a 70HP engine, so it's more or less a
Cub pretending to be a low-wing s****t plane.
I'd be putting an OS MAX .25 in it, or an equivalent electric motor.
For scale-like slow flying, I keep circling back to a 1/6 scale, 4-5
pound aircraft with a 6' wingspan (and about 4 square feet of wing
area). This seems BIG for a .25, yet I know that the SIG 1/6 scale cub
comes with a recommended .25-.40 engine range -- and there's something
silly about a Cub model flying rings around a big heavy P-51.
So, what Cub (or other light plane) models have you flown, how big were
they, how heavy were they, what engine did you use, and (most im****tant)
how did you like flying the thing?
Thanks in advance.

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" gives you just what it says.
