Default RE: First low wing ?

ORIGINAL: ES CONTROL

I do not fly if wind is over 10 M.P.H.
So you're doing pretty well, but still think twice about even higher wind speeds, not that this is bad.

Tough call for me as someone sitting on the fence.

Your Cub is a bit more problematic on the ground than the UCD.

But as previosly stated, you need to grease the landings in on the UCD, which is suprisingly easy once you learn it's flight envelope.

It is one of those planes that you THINK it is flying too slowly, and you chop the throttle, and it is STILL flying after a good while!


Keep the rates low, fly it in low winds, etc. at first, and after you trim it out, spend ALL of your first flight learning how it stalls, and you may be just fine as Perreback said.

Were you transitioning off a PZ Supercub I'd immediately say no, your not ready, as I did, but now I'm backpeddeling.
