The “Lil Cub” is an experimental STOL aircraft built by Frank and Kris Knapp. It was built in 2012 but burned in a fire. Rebuilt from the ashes, was “Lil Cub II” or “Afterburner.” It holds the current short takeoff and short landing world record of takeoff in 11 Feet and a landing in 10 Feet 5 Inches.
Features List:
-Oratex Factory Yellow color
-Custom Engine
-Opening Door
-Custom Suspension
-Perfected Tail-Up Rollout
-Flaperons
-Custom Aircraft Logo
-Alaskan Bushwheels Logo
-“Helium Fill Port” Decal*
-Real-Life Tail Number
-Realistic J-3 Tail Frame
-Aircraft Registration Plate
-Tail Skid
-Custom Flapstick and Joystick
NOTES:
Stalls at 32 Mph
Landing speed is 32 MPH
Dont use full flaps until last minute.
VERY Fun to fly with `5-15 MPH Headwind``
Doesn’t have realistic stall speed because you cant simulate slats in SP
STOL Tips:
The Takeoff
The Landing
Funny story about this plane:
Frank put a decal on the side of the plane which reads “helium fill
port” as a joke. If you’ve ever seen inside this plane its obvious that
there is no helium tank. But shhh its a secret.
Thanks, and enjoy,

Yup @Whuy59
It's actually 14 feet landing
I remodeled this into a helicopter
I have a version where you can. I set the engine input to the trim bar so you can lift the tail @MWG4386
too bad you cant brake and throttle at the same time
Aww I wants to know
