I got a "Used ta be" beautiful 1/5 Cub from a trash trip off a guy a my field. I repaired the
thing as best as practical and flew it for over two months before I too dumb thumbed it in
on a too aggressive takeoff. I had had enough fun with the Cub and it wasn't any loss as I got the plane out
of the trash. I stripped out the electronics and undamaged engine and
took the sad remains to the trash barrel.
It didn't last three minutes. Somebody else snatched it up from the trash like
it was the last plane on Earth. I mean WHOOOSH...it was gone.
I hope they repair it....
