RE: Official Hobby Zone
Thanks Russ.
The new struts came from Hobbyzone today. They get an "attaboy" from me for having parts in stock and quick shipping. With the new struts and repaired wing,I got the Cub back together.
So to a different field I go (no goalposts)and hand launch my plane and guess what, it flew great! This was my very first time flying any kind of RC plane and this plane made it easy. I even managed to land without breaking anything, though I did nose over twice because the grass is a bit tall. But even then, I had reduced speed and altitude enough that the nose over was no big deal.
I'm off to the LHS tomorrow to get a new battery so i will have two charged the next time I go flying.
I've been a model railroader for forty years. I've always wanted to try my hand at RC flight, but the expense, the thought of how much a single crash can cost kept me away. But now,I thinkI have a great second hobby.
Stay safe
Jim
