If he's flying the Hobbyzone Super Cub, it actually is a "trainer."
Yes I should have been more specific... it's the HobbyZone SuperCub. 3 channel, no aelerons.
Seems to be a rather tough plane despite appearances, considering what I have put her through.
Well I did find out something that gave me a little encouragement. It seems that after I crashed from my first flight, the tailwheel had come out of it's little bracket and since it's attached to the rudder, the rudder deflection angles were skewed to one side.
So, it seems part of my problem is not preflighting carefully enough (for the record I DID preflight, just didn't catch that).
Don't worry about me giving up... I am not that type. I am more determined than ever to make my first "good" flight. After reading up before I bought the plane, I knew I was in for a learning curve. It's just nice to hear others that have been through the same thing and are now happily on to their 2nd or third planes and flying straight.
Thank you all for the info, encouragement and the links. Time to start using them to find a flying club now.
