Default RE: What kind of plane is this

Hiya , Irish, don,t worry too much about the product name for the model , it,s not important ! The thing is ,as others have said it,s a delta type model with elevons (make sure your transmitter can cope with these , read the manual !! Once you have the plane set up correctely , (check with the guys at the field ) , this type of model is great to fly , hand launching is fairly simple , if it doesn,t have a little ply skid on the underside cut a slot down the centre of the fuselage and epoxy glue one in , 1/4 ply is ok , it should look like the bottom of an old time yacht . This gives you something to grip while you or your helper launch the model flat and level . Keep your stick movements small at first and don,t go mad with the gas stick , these type of models are well known for there wide speed range and slow landings with the nose high , so if it lands slow it,ll fly slow , just remember though , put the nose down and your Cub will be a distant memory , have fun . Mail me if you nedd more info .
