THE INSPIRATION for this article came when I found myself thumbing through some old issues of Model Aviation and I ran across an article for a 1/2A Cub by Don Srull. Although the little model was appealing, I wanted something a bit bigger. I think I came up with a very stable, easy to build, flyable design. The full-scale prototype rolled off the line in the mid-1930s, and from what I understand, it was extremely underpowered. The original engine put out a whopping 20 horsepower, and initial test flights were a disaster.
