Hobbyzone Super Cub a Goner
 
I finally crashed this thing to where it is almost unrepairable. Broke the fuse in 3 places,snapped the tail wing and rudder. I realize it is foam and I can probably fix it(maybe)but I dont really care. Im about to get an Alpha 40 anyway. While I am waiting to get this plane. I would like to do something with the electronics out of the of the Super Cub. Can anyone give me an idea of what to do with them please??

You might be able to take the servos, receiver/esc unit, and battery and use them in a GWS Slow Stick. It's tough to say for sure just from the parts listings at Horizon Hobby's web site. They do sell a pretty complete assortment of parts in case you'd rather just rebuild the Super Cub:

Good luck, and good shopping!

mine didnt even get over 50ft in the air. It just stopped responding to the input I was putting throught to it. Kept trying to give it up elevator but it would just not climb any higher,the nose of the plane would not raise at all, and all of a sudden it just came down. After I got it back home I noticed that the tail wing was split all the way from the fuselage to the edge of the elevator. I never noticed this because it was so close to the body of the plane.

I may order the parts for it,dont know yet. Im wanting to direct my money to an Alpha 40 Trainer. That way i can learn to fly gas powered planes with ailerons instead of just the rudder. Ive already got an instructor who will help me once I get it.
Im just curious as to what I can do with the electronics.
Thank you for your input.

It is pretty hard to damage a Super Cub to the point that you can't fix it. A little CA will fix almost anything on that plane.
