Congrats XPlayer!

Bet you're glad you went with the Cub, and there's nothing like the sound of a four stroke, especially on a Cub.

To keep it from nosing over, you need to apply some up elevator once the plane is on the ground.

WTG!

Like Dennis said...

When taxiing any taildragger, get in the habbit of holding full up elevator to keep the tail down.
