Ramduster,

I'm glad you like your Cub, I love mine. I too, am running a Magnum .61 four stroke in mine. It's a perfect match for the plane. I noticed that you stated the only way you could get the plane to handle well on the ground, takeoffs I'm assuming, is with easy throttle management. I tried over, and over to get mine to handle correctly with light throttle management but it was way too inconsistent. Sometimes it looked perfect and other times it would ground loop like no tomorrow. Finally I decided to try somthing different. I held full up elevator and gunned the hell out of it. The tail came off the ground after around three feet and the plane was in the air after about ten feet. Guess what! The plane never got off line, it never tried to ground loop, it simply went straight and lifted off. This is how I take off all the time now. I know it's not the scale way to take off, but it's the best way I've found to do so without risking damaging the plane. Landings are always picture perfect.
