Default RE: AK models small cub ARF

I was curious about this so I opened up a browser and typed in akmodels instead of ak-models. Oops, not the kind of models I was expecting!

Anyway, this looks like the same thing I got off eBay a while ago. Be careful on takeoff, takes some work to keep tracking straight. It would also be a good idea to seal the covering edges in the front. Mine started peeling off within the first couple flights. Also, check the firewall alignment, for some reason mine was built with left thrust. I ended up shimming the engine mount. I used an OS FS-30 and standard servos in mine, flew great. Putting around at 1/3 throttle was great. Unfortunately, it met an early end. I used some older servos and the aileron one locked up during a turn and it spiraled into the ground.
