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. :D

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.
