RE: just got my first plane!!!
well I got a few flights under my belt now!!! I don't know if anyone else with the Super Cub with the ACT has had this problem but the first attempt at take off ended kinda rough. I taxied OK, there was a light breeze I was headed into the wind. I throttled up and as the speed came up I eased back on the elevator and up she went till I was 10 feet off the ground it started to roll to the left and as I tried to correct the motor cut out and it basically stalled. the climb rate wasn't very steep if the motor hadn't stopped it would have been fine. unfortunately it nosed in and broke the prop. good thing it comes with a spare! after switching props I tried again at a shallower climb rate and it took off just fine after a few minutes of flight I wanted to try a landing, so I made a large circle ending it lined up with the road I'm using as a runway my approach was a little off so I made another pass to line up a little better although I was about 60 feet in the air where I wanted to initially touch down. I went ahead and brought her in I was a little off and even though I landed on the street before it came to a stop it rolled off the road into the desert, but nothing was hurt. after checking everything over I wanted to take off again and just as the plane was lifting the motor cut out again. I tried again and the same thing happened. I was thinking it might have something to do with the ACT so I switched it off on the TX and the plane took off just fine. I did a couple touch and goes and a few take offs and landings before I noticed the battery starting to get weak so I brought it in for a landing and took it home. over all I'm really impressed with the plane I had it up over approx 300 ft did a few loops and a stall with recovery just feeling it out. I don't really like the ACT feature in flight it limits the control of the plane and I think thats what cost me the prop on my first takeoff. I know that my Helli experience helped with directional orientation but I found this really relaxing in a fun way. has anyone else had any issues with the ACT feature?
