Hello all! I've been studying and researching for about a month now. Was trying to find the perfect plane to get back into RC. I had a little glow experience so the EP SC was not my first choice. When I found the Hobby Zone website and then found the SC I knew that was the plane for me. But when I found you guy here I knew for sure that I would be buying a Super Cub. It would seem you can do so much with the plane and I'm really excited about all the spare parts and mods. I mean with a nickname like "Crater Maker" I'm going to need a bunch of spare parts! lol Anyway as soon as HZ get their servers working again I'm ordering! Does anyone have any suggestion on spare parts or accessories I might buy with the plane?
Thanks to all of you for being here, this will be so much fun!

pick up an extra battery, 3 cowls, and 5 props. trust me, you'll need them...  you can also get the cub at horizonhobby.com. not sure if they have the extra battery promotion that hobbyzone sometimes has. good luck! welcome to the forum! admiral |

In an effort to avoid some spare parts you might do some browsing in the categories for reinforcements and trouble saving mods. The struts are a pain and there are clever ways to replace them. Larger wheels help a LOT. Taping the wing before you fly saves damage and strengthens it. There are lots more. Happy reading.
Interesting about cowls. I broke my share of props but never, ever broke or even cracked a cowl. Can't account for that. Broke everything else.
