Well I got asked a couple of week's ago what I wanted for my 40th birthday in a couple of day's on the 11th, so I spent a lot of time reshearching and the SC LP RTF sold me. Have never flown before so by all the reports should be top fun. I have plenty of upgrades in mind as soon as I get a handle on keeping it in 1 piece. Well my plane should be here today or tomorrow so it will be straight out to get a spare upgraded battery and larger wheels, can't wait. k catch up later.

Happy Birthday. I'm only 2 years from 40 myself, and not too excited about it, either.
Don't forget to turn off ACT. It sucks. Fly in the most open place possible, and you will crash much, much less often. When in doubt, turn off the throttle and let go. The SC will level out on it's own and you will recover or crash less severely.

welcome to the forum mate. You've picked an awesome little plane to get you into the sport. The super cub is both easy to fly, and cheap to mend, which makes it an excellent beginner model. Once you get more into the hobby, you can look at getting a better radio and putting your own motor in the plane of your choice but until then, the super cub LP should keep you quite happy ) Because it doesn't have ailerons, you just steer with rudder on one finger, and control the elevator with the other finger. Other than the throttle, it's only two controls so learning to fly is really easy. There are however lots of common mods people do (eg battery box, wing saddle) so have a read around here on the forum, most of them make the cub much more crash proof. Welcome to the club!
