Default 2 supercubs flyin?

Ihave been flying the Super Cub LPand my father in-law wants to get one. Can we fly these at the same time? Will there be conflicts with freqquencies?

First off I know you're just getting into the hobby so CONGRATS! You're going to love it and will be addicted just like all of us on here! (BE READY TO SPEND LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF PAYCHECKS!)

If you fly on 2.4 absolutely not... if you fly with FM (72/long metal antenna on your transmitter) then just make sure it's not on the same frequency... frequency number will be on the back of the Transmitter

OKthanks Chevy. After Iposted this Idid a little more research at Hobbyzone and found where they offered 5 different freq's.

I have allready spent quite a few paychecks on this hobby in my short tenure, and yes you are right I am addicted. Ihave been dreaming about flying planes since the first ride in a piper cub I took when I was just a young lad.

Ibought an E-Flight J3 .25 piper and have crashed it twice, not yet been sucesful in flight, so Iwent back to my simulator and my super cub LP. Iam having alot of fun with the super cub and today just solo'd with the floats on it, what a great little plane that is.

Thanks again

Lernin... yeah an ACTUAL cub like the e flite is not really an beginner plane... has different flight tendencies and mostly weird take off and landing tendencies... but the super cub from hobbyzone is very much a trainer/beginner plane... Here's one of my cubs not quite flying like a cub should and going full out!

keep practicing and get something like the e flite apprentice if you want to keep with electric.. or if you want to switch to glow get one of the basic trainers like an avistar (more sport plane that will grow with you) or any other kind of high wing trainer plane.

I personally started on a Hobbico Nexstar and it was a great plane to me! One of the best looking trainers and just a good plane overall.

Either way you go find a flying club near you as that will be the best tool for you... and you'll meet some great people, including some guys that will help you set up your first glow plane correctly and get you going down the right path

Once you get comfortable flying get a little foamy to bang around!
