Default RE: learning on a cub?

Hi kerrydel
Most flyers at our club just go around the field like your fellow with the Cub. That is the level of enjoyment they are comfortable with. I would be bored also just going round and around. I have a .46 size Cub also. I do snap roll, loops, rolls, knife edges, inverted flight, vertical slides, touch and goes, etc. Next time out I'll try a lomcevac with it. You have to build the Cub a little stronger. Mine is a CoroCub, made of corrugated plastic material as explained in the SPAD forum further down the RCUnivers page.

As others have adviced, the Cub has some very bad habits. I would sooner train someone on my Flying Lawnmower than on my Cub. The Cub is always looking to snap roll on you. It has a degree of instability that is not aparent. I have seen over a dozen of them get totaled, including 2 of mine.
