Hello everyone, I haven’t picked up my Super Cub LP yet, I’m getting it on the 18th. I all ready have an instructor ready and willing to teach me, and I have read most of the do’s and don’ts here on this form. I did fly RC gas planes years ago. Back in 1987, when I was a young Marine, stationed in Okinawa Japan. Had a friend, believe his name was Kagee, been so long ago I can’t remember. Anyway he got me started, but had to sell the plane when I left, no way to get it home undamaged. I never picked it back up when I got home. I’m really looking forward to flying again. I remember how much fun it was. My wife is to thank for getting me back into this, she was looking at some old photos, and saw one of me with my plane. She suggested I get back into the hobby. What a wife! Well I just want to say thanks for setting up this great place for Super Cub Fans to gather and share their experiences with each other.
Thanks,
Chopper John

Welcome, John! What a great story, man. My wife, too was very supporting and even willing to learn, at first. Then she started noticing the money and time spent and there went the happiness. lol.
Anyway, the Super Cub is an awesome model you'll come to cherish for years to come.

Hi John & welcome.............. Poor poor deluded wifey  ;D The best advice I can give at this early stage of reentering the hobby with a supportive wife, is to read every upgrade thread you can, buy all the kit you will need for every upgrade poss (making sure to only buy the best), lock yourself in your shed/workroom the day the bank statements turn up making sure you have enough supplies to survive at least a week (think back to the "In the event of nuclear attack" pamphlets of the 80's). ;D Good luck!

Thanks Guys, ya, i cant wait to do some of the mods i have been reading about, Looks like the Super Cub LP will be a great beginner Flyer. Hope the weather is good for the next couple of weeks. Also any plans on re-doing the mapping? That site has closed down. Would like to know if anyone on here is close to me.
Thanks again.
