Newbie In Northern Virginia

[milcopk9]

Just a quick Hello, I am new to the hobby, I was actually able to get my plane out of the box today. I purchased my Super Cub LP on Saturday, today was the first day (4/20/10) because of the high winds here in Virginia. I was able to get out the door and get my Super Cub up in the air for about three minutes. Shortly, after my first flight my Super Cub took a nose dive, breaking the cowl, wing struts and the firewall. After the initial shock of breaking my plane with less than 5 minutes of flight time. I ended up going on line and ordering replacement parts for and a few extra replacement parts. Hopefully, my second flight will be better the my first initial flight. If there is anyone in the Northern Virginia/Fredericksburg/Culpepper area let me know I would really like to get together and learn from some with a little more experience than I have.

If any one can send me the web link to pin the map, I would be great;y appreciated. I am not able to get to the web site the link goes know where.

Welcome milcop. I live in Virginia, but I am 20-30 mins south of Richmond in Hopewell, and am not very experienced. I probably wouldn't do you much good.

I can give a little advice though. Use very "easy" or "slight" inputs on the stick, try to focus on orientation of the plane in relation to you, gain plenty of altitude before you try any maneuvers, and the most important thing...... Cut off ACT, remove the sensors and fill the holes they left. They are more of a hindrance than help.

Don't let frustration get the best of you, and have fun, and read around the board here.

(with Yoda accent) "Much information here you will find."

Hey Milcopk9, I'm out in Seattle with the CG. I'm from Virginia. I grew up in Richmond. I was stationed in Hampton Roads for 11 years before coming out to the left coast. I'll be back when I'm done out here.

Welcome!
