Ordered a supercub last weekend. should be here tomorrow. have no idea when I'll get a chance to fly it since we're into rain storms again.
I flew 15-20 years ago. I had a 6 ft glider wing with a thrown together fuselage and .20 motor. Fun to fly, slow, but seemed to fly forever. Slipped and went inverted over a parking lot (side wind caught a wing and flipped it over) gave it full down (inverted, remember), but the thing wasn't able to climb, slowly ground into the parking lot breaking the thing in multiple pieces. Haven't flown since.
I hope this will be easy enough to get back into flying.

Well come to the forum, I think you will find the cub flies a bit faster! Just take her up on a calm day 8mph or less ( less is better) and everything should be fine
Enjoy!
Any questions just ask

As luck would have it, UPS is reporting "Adverse weather conditions"
The two packages split, one arrived in Spokane yesterday at 8am, the other in Portland last night around midnight.
go figure.

Saving Private Ryan: "FUBAR? What is that?"
' Oh , it's french.'
"French? Never heard of that one!"

re. FUBAR - a traditional British Army acronym in the same vein is SNAFU (Situation Normal - All F****d Up).
Are you buying the HobbyZone SC? As cubcruncher says above, it usually comes in just one box.
Welcome. I hope your weather becomes kinder very soon.

Fubar was a term back in my Air Force days.
Anyway,
I upgraded to the BNF version and got a discount on a second battery, so I'm guessing battery and radio are in the other box.

Saving Private Ryan: "FUBAR? What is that?" ' Oh , it's french.' "French? Never heard of that one!" They said it was German, not French! I believe the official translation is Fudged Up Beyond Any Recognition, that's what my school chaplin said it stood for anyway and I'm sure he would never lie about such a thing  |
