Instructions:

Trim for flaps,
A.g. 1 + VTOL for doors.


Features and Information:

This has an about 100% blueprint accuracy,

Fully working cockpit with instruments,

Custom control surfaces,

Flaps,

Opening and closing doors,

And more!


History:

The Cub Crafters CC11-100 Sport Cub S2 is a high-wing, tandem-seat, conventional landing gear–equipped, tube-and-fabric light-sport aircraft built by Cub Crafters. The aircraft certified to ATSM standards for the FAA's Light Sport Category and is in production as of 2010. The S2 was introduced in 2007 as an improvement to the Sport Cub of 2005.
Cub Crafters started business as a heavy maintenance and overhaul shop for classic Piper aircraft. In 1998, Cub Crafters started production of all-new aircraft leading to the Sport Cub built to meet the FAA's Light Sport requirements.
The aircraft follows the same basic design and shape as the Piper Cub. Notable exceptions are a 100 hp (75 kW) fully cowled Teledyne Continental engine, an electrical system and a modified USA 35b airfoil from the SuperCub.

Something funny:

Well, I guess that’s more of a “tree plane”…

    It sort of flys like a rc sport cub s2 without the stol aspect but it looks awesome

    @HawaiiRanger Hmmm it should have...
    I see it still weighs 8000 lbs and has a wing load that's similar to some airliners still...
