Default RE: Nitroplanes Piper Cub

Got the package today. Although I don't have a scale to check the exact weight, it is definitely a lot lighter than 2.5 lb. I agree with mclina, the build seems too light to handle a glow engine.

I haven't looked at all the pieces very closely yet, but it seems to be put together fairly well. One of the ailerons is a little too big for the slot in the wing so it binds, and I need to trim it down a bit (got another model from them at the same time, the elevator has the same issue.) The covering on both planes needs to be ironed out, and is peeling off from some of the edges, pretty standard on ARF's from what I hear.

All in all, it is a pretty good deal for $59, and a Cheap way to learn to fly...
