Yes, I know what ya'll mean. Once in the air at half throttle, the cub is very docile, and landings are no big deal (although I am still have about 1/2 my landings nosing over due to rough field and not getting on the elevator soon enough...). The real trick is to try to stay ahead of the plane on takeoff. It can get out of hand quickly. I had a couple of takeoffs where I held the elevator down to keep the tail on the ground, but didn't ease it to neutral soon enough. The plane would jump off and start to roll, and you have to be quick to get the nose down and wings level. I learned to stay on the sticks until I had airspeed and altitude. This is one plane that seems like it will bite you in a hurry if you get complacent.

One question...I noticed I had to input alot of down trim. The CG seems to be dead on now (but just using the old finger method), but the model wants to pitch up until I put in alot of trim. Is this a thrust line issue? I know that with a high wing plane, especially with a flat bottomed airfoil, that the angle of thrust should be down and right. I mounted everything according to plan, but didn't see any reference in the manual. It really feels more like a CG issue because the model seems to want to pitch up, not just climb aggressively. Thanks for all the good info!
