Default RE: the Cub Curse is over!!!!!

ground handling is not my issue.....mine handles real nice......i changed the stock tail wheel....to my own design.....it works fantastic. flying the thing is whats got me worried.....i fly them on the sim.....(G4.5)....they tip stall....then if ya make a landing......they float forever......just a quik pic. of my strip.....gotta make a 180 real fast to land....i have no good approach.....i can only takeoff and land going west.....due to trees and wires..and hills....and of course a swamp on my right and a beaver pond to the east....i manage to fly the escapade....the nextar....the electrastar ep select.....superstar......a fokker biplane.....a piper pawnee. cub?.....got me worried about drifting. i fly in a bowl. i just dont have a decent approach at all. by the time i make my turn from base to final.....i have eaten up half the runway....what would you do?......my decision was dont fly it here......too nice of a plane to ruin.
