Hey guys...I have been flying my cub for 2 weeks now and getting better at flying however fast and low I want, Ive always been able to pick things up very fast. Anyway I really want to go 4 channel but I'm not ready to spend 300-400 hundred on a new plane package. So what I'm asking is for tips on a medium package as far as servos, speed control, etc. I will be using a MX5e but need some info on other goods. I will continue to research the threads you guys are super knowledgeable and very helpful. Thanks!

So far, mine has been OK. for the extra 5 bucks, get the 6 channel. Its programmable, and the extra channels good handle differential ailerons or flaps if desired. They both come with a 6 channel receiver
setting up the software was a bit of a pain, but it works

Duck, great post. Is your advice still what you would recommend? Has anything changed in the past year? I have a Super Cub LP and am looking to install ailerons. Thanks!

dougfI followed NeCubFlyer's tutorial and I found the mod very easy to do and I am extremely happy with the results. A short video clip of my Aileron Mod in action. s923.photobucket.com/albums/ad79/Iflyforfun/?action=view¤t=SuperCubMod.mp4Later I added flaps using the same method as the aileron mod and also used 2 servos for the flaps. The only thing I would suggest if you think you may want to add flaps later is to move the ailerons all the way out to the end of the wings and make them 10" instead of 12". This would give you much more room for your flaps. If your thinking of adding flaps I suggest reading up on them. A lot of people seem to think they are useless and are not worth the effort on a Super Cub. I think the flaps are a great addition and when I convert my flaps from normal hinges to offset hinges I think they will be outrageously effective.

Thanks for the tip! I'm brainstorming in my head the best way to put on ailerons... Any pics/video help out a lot.
