Anyone have experience with the Flyzone Super Cub? I recently purchased it and not very happy with its weight and paint job. It is foam but not exactly light 30 ozs and the paint job has a rubbery feel, almost tacky and smelled funny the first week it came out of the box. The landing gear could be beefier the plane is 30 oz. In addition, the battery box is too small for anything over 1500 mah battery. Hobbico should have provided a larger battery and battery compartment instead of gluing dead weights under the cowling to compensate for correct CG.

I live in Vermont, so put pontoons on it so I could do winter flying. Pontoons are great in the snow and cheaper than DuBro skis. The plane flies OK albeit a little on the heavy side, definitely not a floater.

I really like mine. You can cut some of the foam away from the battery compartment for a larger battery, but it really wasn't designed for a huge battery and floats.

so,
i get this rtf cub from flysone that got more weights added to it than an ocean liner anchor (nose had three ounces, tail two, wings when opened up had all kinds od strange debris that could only be intended to be balance. ) i did fly it few times but never did get it to trim right. i decided to convert it with an old radian glider wing that i added by splicing the cub cente section and installed a thermos botle liner as the nose. looks like a turbo cub now. see the link of my first flight. i used the same balancing points as the cub came with. didnt need to do much re arranging of the esc, battery, except that i lengthened the leads of the esc so that it was in the cockpit. flys like a cub and a glider. put a folding prop on it also.

da!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
