Hi from a newbie in London, England

Hello to all Super Cub owners around the world. ;D

It's great to have this forum just for this fab plane.

I got a Super Cub for my birthday last month and it is my first R/C plane after many years of yearning for an R/C plane but not liking petrol engines - had a control line glow plug plane that I could never ever start!!! Always preferred electric power and so used to fly Keilkraft RTP (Round the Pole) in the garden. Anybody remember them?

Now I have my Cub and whenever the wind has dropped enough in London I have been out learning to fly and finding it a bit more tricky than I thought but great fun. However I am very glad that the Cub is quite resilient - I would hate to have had some of my "bumps" with a balsa plane

Have now got a small pencam and attached it to the fuselage and here is my first vid:

Good weather to you all!

Hi Spar

Sorry took a while to reply. The pencam I use is this one:

www.indoorflyer.co.uk/index.asp?function=DISPLAYPRODUCT&productid=219

Which arrived very quickly from the guys at indoor flyer (they fly small indoor jobs which of course don't get any altitude or spectacular crashes ;D )

It is quite good but a bit tricky to operate and of course no convinent buttons or screen like on a normal cam but it does the business. Am going to try parachuting it from the aerial drop module next just to see if I can - at least it will make a different video Ha! Ha!
