Hi, from Staffordshire, UK.

Hiya.

Been looking for a decent forum for tips on my Supercub. Looks like I have found it!!!

Not had it long and it was my first real foray into RC flying - 1/8th nitro and 1/5th petrol buggies being a longer standing hobby of mine.

Have also bought a Radian, although not flown it yet.

The Cub has took a beating while I have been learning - I managed to snap the tail off this weekend while stupidly flying in high wind!!!, but epoxied back on and as good as new!

Just need to repair the wing struts and it will be back in the air. Already picked up some awesome options for modified struts from this forum.

And just ordered me almost an entire Cub in spares, and will be posting shortly some Q's about upgrading to brushless!, maybe making a whole second plane!

Sucker for punishment, but hell it's fun!!!

Hi Ive. Welcome to the club

Greetings, ive.

I lost count of the number of times I bought new wing struts (bloody little hooks kept snapping off).

Last week, from a tip on here, I heated paper clips, used them to melt holes in the strut ends, then bent the paper clips into hooks to replace the plastic hooks.

Now waiting for the winds to subside before trying it out.

Good luck with your flying.

Hi, thanks for the welcome.

I particularly like the strut mod that uses the electrical crimp connectors, paper clips and black shrink tube. Looks really neat and might give it a go, nowt to lose!

Really windy here, and have learned my lesson!!!
