Default RE: Is it hard to fly a Cub?

I built a GP Cub 40, was a little apprehensive on the maiden, had heard so much about the dreaded ground loop. After a few practice runs, I just concentrated on the rudder and let the Cub do its' thing.

Once the tail comes up, there isn't much to do but keep it straight, let the speed build up, the plane seems to just lift off by itself when ready. An awesome plane.

Power in mine is an OS FS70, love that "putt-putt" sound. It's a tiny bit nose-heavy, but I like it just fine.
