I'm glad your plane survived. I know you had a good time & feel that your first outing went pretty well, but I hope you realize that the best thing that happened was meeting your new friend!! It's really hard to just go out alone & learn to fly. Most planes don't survive the first 30 seconds of these kind of flights. I would take in as much instruction as your new friend is willing to give & fight the urge to go out there alone again until he gets you soloed. The RC Gods only give us so many chances per plane & you have now used one of those chances up.[sm=wink_smile.gif] Good luck with your new Cub & have fun learning to fly it. Welcome to the greatest hobby I know of.
