Modeltech Cub is a handful to get off the ground,mine had problem with the tires falling off the wheels while trying to taxi around, flew fast and smooth once i got it off the ground, almost had a heart attack getting it there. Flew around for 5-6 minutes and thought i should bring it in,started to go around and the old magnum 25 flamed out and I had no control, it went straight in from 100 feet, landed in tall grass surrounded by 3 big oaks,munched the front end up,broke firewall and former under the windshield, after taking it back to the table I discoverd radio didn't work,tried new battery ,still nothing, took case off of RX and discovered a spider nest(not kidding) in RX, I think thats why I had no control, So much for maiden flight, The front is almost fixed,just need some covering patches, was flying with cowl off for first flight so that was saved from any damage, will be replacing wheels and tires and RX should be ready to fly again soon. I also Have the Magic w a O.S. 46sf w/tuned pipe, lifts off in 2 feet and goes straight up, current favorite is Magic Extra w a 46fx. Hope all is well.
