Sounds like you got it under control there Bill. That little Cub is one of the most docile RTF(ready-to-fly) planes... and fortunately there's plenty of replacement parts available... cheap. You'll find out what you need to know, regardless of what anyone else is telling you... Theres alot of experience here sharing with you, and at some point you'll gain your own experience... we can only hope your experience is decent... as it should be according to you either way.. so its all good.. just remember again.. the Cub is VERY docile.

If you have some heli experience other then the smallish coaxial (dual-rotor) copters,. you might stand a better chance...

In my experience flying an RC plane is like playing a musical intrument(pick one..say guitar)... If you have a chord chart in front of you, you can see the chord(s), and each and every finger position.. right in front of you on a peice of paper.. now... transition from one chord to the other.. If you've done it for long time its second nature to go from a G to a D.. if you're just starting out, you'll have to think, look, and then position your fingers... until they develop muscle memory... which for some can come fast, and some slow, and some can't play at all..

Be aware, even though you know the theory, history, evolution, engineering, and maybe even wrote a book on flight... that doesn't get anywhere near having first hand experience with an RC model, nor does it teach your fingers/thumbs where to go with the sticks.... even though its all in the mind of what the plane should do and why it should do it.

Great trainer plane there... I'm curious to see how you do with it. I've recomended this plane to several people... and all have done well with a tad of help... and you'll do fine too.. its really not hard at all once you get some experience... Good luck.
