FINALLY, FINALLY. FINALLY my Super Cub has flown. Today 6/24 was its' maiden flight. I didn't get any photos of it today at the field but I am one happy Cub owner!! The plane flies great, very little trim adjustments were needed and it looks fantastic in the air.

I have a few things to adjust. The control throws were set as recommended by the instruction book and low rates are a bit sluggish. I need to mix some rudder with ailerons and the engine needs to break in a bit more. I'm currently running a 16 x 8 APC prop and will try one in the 15" range next time out. And lastly, The tail wheel axle shaft lost one of the little c-clips which I will replace with either a speed nut or replace the axle with a machine screw and nylock nut.

I can see now why this plane is so well liked. Super smooth in the air, gets a lot of positive comments from other fliers, and it is well built. I now look forward to having a blast flyng this plane frequently and look forward to the time when the clipped wing version is available through Cermark.
