Preperation!?

[gagallagher04401]

Ok all

My NIB Super Cub is on the way. It came with all the regular stuff included and also came with (2) 7 cell batteries and a 8 cell. Got it all on Ebay from a guy for 135 shipped, I think I made out alright?

I want to tape up areas and reinforce it before I fly it. What should I do, and where shoudl I begin? Pics woudl really help, because I do not know all the lingo yet.

Thanks

Congrats on your new plane. I am sure you will have alot of fun with it. I know there are some past posts with photos of the different tape jobs that are quyite usueful as that is where I got the information to tape mine. I just packing tape on the front of the wings wrapped all the ay around to the back. You do get some wrinkles on the outside edge of the wings as you wrap it (atleast I did) but it does not seem to effect the flying. I also put a couple of strips of tape running along the back of the fuselage that hold the rudder and elevator in place a little firmer.

I know some people tape the fuselage as well but I have not as i haven't broken mine (yet).

Just cover the SC in packing tape. Leading wing edge, wing tips, fuselage especially towards the rear.
