Default RE: How much wind have you flown in with super cub?

I have flown my cub in wind so strong that when hand launched into it at full throttle, it just rose straight up like a helecopter. Its lots of fun, but definately a challenge.

You will find that the cub is very tough, but has one major weak spot. The area of the fusilage where the control rods for the rudder & elevator exit is prone to breaking .It is a good idea to reinforce this area with clear duct tape or a similar
product. Just make sure the control rods don"t bind. This mod adds very little weight but a great deal of strength. My current cub fusilage is actually two fuses glued and taped together in this area and has flown and crashed many times without breaking. Always have some tape and foam sake ca with you, and you will be able to repair all but a major crash on site.
