Default RE: Hobbico FlyZone® Piper J-3 Cub RTF

I flew mine today for the 1st time. Flew down the street in a limited space area. I took off on a sidewalk and almost lost it twice before reaching 20'. Recovered and flew well, was making a tight turn about30' and pulled it in tight, she stalled and snap into a spin. Hit in grass, broke wing in half, cracked cowl and bent motor shaft. All my fault, she flew well but is not for beginers, I did put clevis in holes for more control throws so watch out for that. It cost me about $40 for that mistake, should have waited and flown at model field. I just bought the PARK ZONE Super Cub last week and much prefer it's flying habits, much more docile. The FLYZONE Cub is very heavy for it's size.
