I recently bought Thundertiger piper cub ARF.ARF'quality is perfect.

I just want to mail with the members who built and fly this arf and be cooperation with them about the arf's flight and construction infos.

I expect to read your advices.

THANKS

I have a Cub, but it is a full KIT from GP. Nice plane, but I am not ready to fly it yet, so it is hung up in my son's room. I hear the Cub is a good flyer, gentle, but it is tough to land because it has so much lift, as well it is not good on the ground. There are some tricks to if.

If you are learning, go to a good trainer, then move up to the Cub.

If you have trouble landing a Cub, check your CG.

If they're properly balanced, they will settle right in.

Had a Hanger 9 80" J3 for a couple of years til I put it into the hydro wires. Great arf, very well put together and covered extremely well. Had trouble taking off til I got the advice that I needed right nere on RC universe. It balanced out well on cg but was still a real floater. Again, reat advice from RC universe members. A degree or two of down thrust on the engine and flying with the struts on ( to bleed of some speed) and a couple of degrees of up on both aileron when in neutral position had it settling in on a perfect descent rate for my abilities. Can hardly wait to get another H9 J3 Cub.

I agree, a Cub shouldn't be any harder to get down than your trainer. The only difficulty I see with mine on landing is it likes to try and nose over (I fly off grass) on me occasionially so you can't stop paying attention to it until that tail wheel comes down. Very managable problem, thought, you just have to be ready to give it a little elevator when needed.

To me the real challange is during take-off. Cubs have a tendancy to weather vane (turn into the wind) in cross winds. They seem to be doing OK until the tail comes up then they get a bit "funky" on occasion. I'd like to try taking off of pavement to see if it is easier - my guess is some of the challange is due to the rather wide, stubby tires taking off of a grass strip.
