Very interesting thread, decided to register after reading it. I have been looking at a Fun Cub, or a Twinstar, and it seems that more than one person here has both. I have a Mentor, which is great, but it seems to have a great allergy to the ground, even with a camera strapped to the side, it doesn't seem to come down (with the throttle cut) unless down elevator is used, not much of a problem when flying, but trying to get it on the ground over trees in a limited space is quite a challenge. At the club, if it is more than 10 feet above the threshold, it's still floating at the other end! I have marked out the wings to install flaps to try and introduce some drag, but have been looking at other alternatives as well. The Twinstar was suggested, but it means making an undercarriage, and maybe still adding flaps. So, a couple of questions about the Funcub, does it float like the Mentor, and how much is it affected by the wind? If anyone has both the Mentor and the Funcub, a comparison would be useful. It really looks from what I have read as if it could be an answer for more restricted sites.
