Zactly. No prop hanging. But consider this. The 320 might be more power than needed, it's just plane, (pun intended) awesome. The cool factor needle pegs all the way over and breaks off as you fire one of those up and then blast off!
Cool factor needle now broken. Lol

There could only be one thing more cool than this. A four stroke red headed 220. Omg, I would die.

Sorry to say but not that familiar with cubs. How big will this plane be. And what is the expected weight going to be. Looks like you really going go all out making this A scale as possible. Looks like this is going to be a interesting build and will be enjoying the ride to completion.

1/3 scale is 140ish inches so 12' wingspan. 30 lb plane.

a friend of mine did have the Pegasus on his 1/3 cub, way more power then you need but then again it would depend on what type of flying you are planning to do, prop hanging , ouch nooooooooooo

This is good news as those are easy to find. I will fly scale and have fun. I will not prop hang though.

I wished 3W made a 50 - 60ish cc quad.

Oh heck... that is BIG! Most definately get a Pegasus for it. You'd be so cool, you'd need to be defrosted before you flew. I don't think the "Cool Meter" even registers that much cool factor does it?

Oh heck, me too!

That is big plane and at 30 lbs plus you can put a reasonable big gas engine in that. Just the drag of a 12 ft span wing and all the rest will take some power to get going and of the ground. I owned one cub in my life and it was my second one plane it was from Goldberg I belive it was rated at a 60 glow. Every body said it would be a great second plane well it was, and not. When there was no wind you could not ask for a nicer plane to fly loved it but if the wind picked up and was not straight down the runway that was one difficult plane to fly. The good times I can remember with the cub was when I put it on floats and spent day on the water with no wind I just could never get enough of that.
