Default RE: HobbyZone Super Cub - Tell me About It

I had never flown before, had only 5 minutes of airplane simulator at the hobby shop, yet I do understand flight dynamics and flight controls (in theory only). (I did have a year experience on the BCX helicopter so did understand the flight controls of RC).

I bought the Supercub, did an ROG off the ground first try, less than perfect landing, no damage. I've had it since it came out and have only had one major crash that I fixed without parts. (Did go through half a dozen props). I never once used the ACT.

In short, this is a GREAT trainer for absolute newbies.

Last week I moved up to a T-28. I would have been in serious trouble starting with that.

I expect I will return time and again to the SC, it is relaxing flyer that doesn't need as much room as the T-28. (it's easier to avoid poles, etc as it flies slower).
