Well lets see, I've always been into RC vehicles, have a!.4 scale HPI baja ss right now, flown some 4-channel co-axial heli's. I also use a Esky FMS Simulator. I am looking to get into planes with my father. I woudl be funding it all. I can not, and do not want to spend to much until we both get good, I will learn much quicker thenmy father, but he too also uses the ESKY SIM.
I have alot of good about the SuperCub. I want to here more good things.
Things that concern me is flight time, durability, ease of maintence/repairs. I want to fly it not work on it.
All info woudl be greatly appriciated! I will be reading alot! Also where is the best/cheapest place to get everythign I am going to need/should have!
Thanks
George

Super Cub is a great plane to learn on (there's a pretty good Super Cub for FMS at this site gunnerson.homestead.com/files/fms_models.htm ) easily fixable from crashes, and there will be plenty of them. Flight times on the stock battery should be around 7 minutes. Look around the site to see what parts of the plane are usually reinforced with packing tape before flying (leading edge of wing, wing tips, tail area right in front of elevator) Don't disregard what you read about the ACT system, it causes way more accidents than it prevents. Read around on the site, wait for a super calm day and go flying. PS Be prepared to have too much fun!

Thanks patmatgal! I thought I would get more then one welcome though kinda dissapointing. I have been reading alot, and yes I have been flying the hell out of the super cub on the EXsky SIM, To the point I am bored on the SIM with it, should I be able to handle the real deal? How can I extend flight time?
