Default RE: Questions about cub.

cubs! where do i start!

first off.. a cub is a love it or hate it airplane! and i love them!!!

the guys who dont like cubs usually arnt flying them right! to fly properly a cub must be flown coordinated, meaning FLOWN UTILZING THE RUDDER WITH THE AILRONS!!! you can do this with a mix or just add a little right rudder with the right ailron. as well as left with the left..

in pratice this is really easy to do and you will be rewarded with a graceful flying bird that looks AND flys properly...

on the ground.. if you are putting that .70 in the cub just put in in to the wind and give it full power and a touch of back elevatorit will be off the ground in 5 feet!! now if you want scale take off right rudder on the ground will be required..

cubs are a blast ! after your done with it on the ground add floats! its a very versitile airplane
