Hey to all you Super Cubbers! 'Just wanted to let you guys know that you're all a big part of the reason I decided to buy a Super Cub. Got it yesterday and I'm waiting on the storms to go away so I can fly it.

Okay, I flew it today. First flight lasted aprox. 8 seconds and was abruptly interupted by an oak tree. I waited until there was very little wind, but shortly after take off there was a gust and well....it's good that I can still climb trees. Only minor damages were sustained. A broken prop and a little roughing up of the leading edge of the wing. I quickly repaired it and tried again. I walked to the CENTER of the field to begin my second flight...much better! It only took a little bit to get used to the controls and all went well. There was a little bit of a sustained wind starting at around 150 feet, but I actually ended up playing with the currents to gain speed and then plow back up-wind to do it all again. Lots of fun! and not a bad landing for a first timer on this plane. I popped in battery #2 and flew again. Just as before, lots of fun and a not so bad landing. I'm going to love this thing!
