Hi , My name in Colin and i am from Yorkshire in the UK. Not got a full size super cub yet but i do fly a Mini Super Cub ( hope this will do for now ) I have been flying the MSC for over a year now and it has been great fun but i am surprised just how much of a following the HZ cubs have , probably the largest following than any other RC plane !!. Anyway i hope i can stay with you even though i have a mini cub.. Colin.. Attachments:

'ow do, lad! Happy to find another Yorkshire flier gracing these hallowed pages! I've been here about 6 months so far, and I've learned loads! Watch out for this lot, though! Ask a question, and by the end of the discussion, you've forgotten what the original question was! Welcome aboard! Chris.

Where are you, Colin? I'm based in Huddersfield.Lone flier ( Huddersfield MAC is too far away, and the amount of time I can give to flying is dictated by work and family. 2 hours a week if I'm lucky! And 2 hours at work! Stick with the Mini cub, until you're certain you want to fly. I've dabbled in every RC hobby, and have always come back to planes. Cars, tanks, boats... 1/16/..1/12/..1/8.. 1/6 (Big tank!)...nice, but my nerves were only raw with planes.. good flights. Bad flights ( a lot), Crashes (ditto), money wasted over 20 years ( not mentionable!).
Satisfaction, joy, thrill, happiness, addiction, true love, pure concentration, brain AND reflex training, adrenaline, therapy, relaxation. Best hobby ever!

Hi Chris , i am in Bradford near Morrison's on Mayo Ave, also a lone flier as well? I have been refused membership to one club cos i have a Mini Super Cub !!! he he never mind don't think i want to join one anyway. I am the same as you as regards flying time i usually have Sundays free for a quick fly but i have only got two lipos and they take an age to charge unlike the ni-cads , 20 Min's for a full charge.
I used to make and fly free flight planes many years back , and lost a few as well but now i have got into RC and i have not looked back
It would be nice to fly with someone with the same interest in planes ( super cubs ) , Maybe we could meet up some time and have a fly .
Oh , and i agree ... Best Hobby Ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Colin..

Where do you fly? On the rugby fields at the side of Manchester road? I used to live on Thornton Lane, just off Smiddles lane, so I know the area pretty well!

I know where you mean but i don't fly there, i fly at sedgeborough sports fields in Huddersfield Road just a bit down from the fire station at Odsal. It is not two bad but there is a lot of trees but still a lot of space, but Sundays they play football there so i have to wait for them to go home . I don't know of anywhere else but i keep looking out for somewhere. The rugby fields you mentioned get full of kids and it gets a bit crowded, do you fly in Huddersfield.
