Default RE: hobby zone super cub problem?

I have a couple of Super Cubs and love them.
one is stock and the other has had upgrades to the motor radio and ailerons added.
its fairly easy to learn to fly with but expect to crash it a bit at first. The best part of the Super Cub is how easily it is repaired and how readily available parts are. you can replace a wing for $20 and a fuselage for a little more. after a crash save every little piece, packing tape is about to become your best friend.
be aware that some glues will attack the foam so make sure what ever you are using is safe.

The plane comes with ACT (anti crash technology)sensors in the plane to help keep you from crashing, most of us have figured out that it screws up more than it works and have not only turned it off but have unplugged the sensors from the receiver so we can accidentally turn it back on.

When starting out you need a large area to fly in try to find some place that is at least as big as a foot ball field if not bigger. oh and you get 3 points if you hit the goal posts but it likely to make for a trip to the hobby shop for parts (I swear the dam posts are magnetic) Always remember just like it says in the mirror "Objects may be closer than they appear" from reading here and talking with others plus my own experience many new pilots find their depth perception is not as accurate as they think
