Default Anyone build and fly this Piper?

It can be build as EP or Nitro. I need a good tail dragger on which I can train.

Default RE: Anyone build and fly this Piper?

Are you looking for a first/beginner plane, or a first taildragger? I wouldn't recommend a Cub as a first-first plane due to some tendencies that scale Cubs have, such as the requirement to make coordinated (rudder & aileron) turns. Make a turn rudder only, and the Cub continues along the same path, just crabbed off to one side. Try to turn with ailerons only, and a Cub will just continue in a straight line with the wings banked and the nose pointing up... Turning a Cub takes two-thumb coordination, when complete newbies have enough problems with just one thumb.

I'm exaggerating a little, but it's pretty close to the truth

Yeah, I know what you mean. Controlled turns are a b*tch to perform. It won't be my first plane. I have been flying the Aerobird Challenger and wanted to start learning 4-channel flight.

thanks,
