Hi from Surrey... UK

Hi everyone, just thought I'd introduce myself.
My Name's Dan and I recently bought a Supercub... This is my first ever R/C plane so needless to say it all went tits up after a few flights!
Managed to cartwheel the poor thing along the grass and snapped the tail off
So with the help of some strong parcel tape I got her flying again... ;D
Anyways, I've seen a few "how to" videos on youtube and want to eventually 'pimp my plane'

Welcome aboard, Dan.

I see you have suffered the usual baptism of fire experienced by many of us who were suckered into believing that anyone can fly the SC straight out of the box. ;D

Did you ever see anyone leap on a bike for the first time and ride away successfully with no instruction?

For what it's worth, I could have saved myself much pain and misery if only I had found an experienced flyer to hold my hand for a while. What a difference it made when I did!

You mention videos. Have you watched this one?

Good luck with your flying - and mending.

thanks for that Renard,really helpful vid.
Ive managed to get the thing back flying with the help from some 'DEVCON 2 TON EPOXY', some lolly sticks and a bit of inginuity.
Not sure if anyone on here has realised, but the landing gear support struts are made from pretty much the same material as the nose cowl, so if you have a busted cowl lying around, pencil the shape of the strut, cut out and Robert's yer fathers brother... :-D
