Just joined the club. Have had the Super Cub for about a year. Gave up flying it when I lost control with a transmitter glitch and it landed in the Pacific Ocean. Have been flying a SlowStick since. My son works in a hobby shop and gave me a Spektrum DX7 for Christmas. Works real good on the SS so I thought about restoring the salt crusted Super Cub. Really the damage wasn't that bad except for the motor and battery the rest of the electronics stayed out of the water until it floated back into the surf4. You should have seen it floating in the water with the prop still pulling it out to sea. I hope to upgrade it to BL motor and good electronics. It was a nice trainer until it went wild and has left me afraid to try it .

Hi tdub. Welcome to the forum. You will not regret getting the SC back in the air.

tdub I "landed" a plane in the Atlantic once and the salt water did a number on just about everything, even the control rods to the elevator and rudder (didn't think of looking at them and when I did they had a crust of rust on them) With a DX7 and brushless motor, get ready for tons of fun! Glad you're flying and looking at the Super Cub.
