RE: Latest Project - Piper Cub
Nice Harlem.
Everyone should have a Cub at some point in their flying career. There are many in the full scale community that believe the same thing.
Once you have control on the ground, this is going to be a fun flying plane. Some Cubs can be a real bear until they get in the air. Try to have a SLIGHT bit of visible tow-in on the mains. When at the field and ready to start the takeoff roll, apply throttle slowly and steadily and be ready on the rudder. It will (usually) require some right rudder to keep it straight. The amount and when will seem different every time. Just takes practice. Don't forget that rudder on landing either. Like all of us, you will learn what a ground loop looks like. Rarely an issue except with the ratings from the observant crowd.
Have fun!
