Default Flyzone Super Cub

Anyone have experience with the Flyzone Super Cub? I recently purchased it and not very happy with its weight and paint job. It is foam but not exactly light 30 ozs and the paint job has a rubbery feel, almost tacky and smelled funny the first week it came out of the box. The landing gear could be beefier the plane is 30 oz. In addition, the battery box is too small for anything over 1500 mah battery. Hobbico should have provided a larger battery and battery compartment instead of gluing dead weights under the cowling to compensate for correct CG.

I live in Vermont, so put pontoons on it so I could do winter flying. Pontoons are great in the snow and cheaper than DuBro skis. The plane flies OK albeit a little on the heavy side, definitely not a floater.
