Addendum, I solved my dilemma and bought a Carbon Cub.
Boy!! Fer sure. I like the fact that it suits a broad range of skills.

Mine is the HZ Carbon Cub S2 1.3. I set my throws to max. also, but no flaps yet. Not sure I need them. It flies so slow and takes off quickly, especially if there's a bit of wind. It will do every maneuver in the book except vertical hover. Needs a bit more power I think.
I had a 10 X 8 on a couple of weeks ago when I plowed it into the ground. Crumpled the nose and broke the motor shaft. Minor wing damage also. BIG pilot error. I tried and outside loop and didn't have enough altitude. I have the servo arms at max now, didn't when I crashed it. I got the nose uncrumpled by boiling it. A bit too much boiling I think . The nose is now a bit mushy. Will try again after re-paint etc.Try a different prop. It came with a 9x6? If I remember right... and just a flimsy one at that. I have an APC on mine. You have to do a bit a massaging on the spinner to get it to fit.
The APC will be less forgiving in a crash, but you aren't suppose to crash, right?It is a glass fiber I think and much better profile and quality! They are pretty cheap. I bought a few different pitches and diameters.
I haven't tried a hover, but it will T/O and go vertical with ease, even with a 2200 battery. Don't count the flaps out. They do make a difference, you think it lands slow now.... . It is an easy mod and the RX is ready.
And when I say throws, I mean the servo arms, moving the control rods to the outside to get the most travel ... on the rudder and elevator. I like doing that and if too much, I can adjust the limits from the TX.
I went to a larger ESC and to 4S battery and a 11x7 prop... It should hover... or burn up. I'll let you know if it lets out the smoke. LOL!
Any one ever used Active Powers Sports in Cal.? Good prices. I'm waiting a small order I placed on the 7th. Will see how it goes before I order a new fuselage.
.Pretty Cub. Did you paint it or buy it that color? AHA, it's not a HobbyZone Carbon Cub!!!! "right"Those motor shafts are hard and brittle! I have broken one also!!!

Much smaller and much faster. Very nice build BTW.
So that's a S Cub spinner? And it will fit the C C 1.3?It is the S Cub, predecessor to the CC (all replacement parts will fit). Hobby Zone plane and I added the CC main tires and tail wheel. I have a CC also with all the GPS etc. Never been in the air. Now the S Cub, has been in the air, in the tree, and in the dirt... LOL!!! First set of tundra tires were from an FMS Kingfisher. I had to bushing them to fit the axel... Found out that a carbon fiber control rod will act like a BRAKE... after the 3rd nose over and a broken propshaft, I figured that out.
I don't have the GPS etc. Just don't need it. It's so controllable in the #1position it almost flies itself. Flip to the #3 and it will do anything I can think of. Just haven't mastered an outside loop yet.
