Default RE: Super Cub

I think you will find that the Super Cub is one of the most friendly RC planes made. It is gentle and yet rugged. It is also very forgiving and lends itself to more mods than you can imagine. I still have mine (and it was almost a prototype as some of the features that the new ones have, mine was mfg'd without). I don't fly it as much as I used to, but I keep it just for those times when I just want to fly around. I learned to fly on it and have modded it one step at a time. It's been crashed and repaired numerous times, but is still flying with the original airframe (fuselage, wing, rudder, and rear stab.)......forget the ACT....It will cause you more trouble than it will cure. The "eyes" are set to reference the ground (dark) vs the sky( light). While in theory, this seems like a realy good idea, I found that it can be affected by many unwanted, outside, sources. For instance, flying over a puddle of water or reflections from shiney cars, etc. The sunlight reflected up from the shiney surface will confuse the ACT and cause the plane to do weird things. Other than that, HobbyZone "hit a home run" with this offering.....JMHO...Pat
