Just joined yesterday after becoming a Super Cub owner. I'm located in Stillwater, Maine and have several other flyers to get advice from locally. I ran into forum member gagallagher04401 when I picked my SC up. I picked up this unit as you see it; plane w/floats, three batteries, stock landing gear and charger. A good deal at $125. The plane won't get flown until the floats come off as I am a complete beginner. I currently have about 20 hours on a Champ so am ready for some slow club flying, but not over water! I've already picked up some good stuff from the forums and look forward to picking your brains as time goes on. Dave Attachments:

Hi Dave, and welcome to the club!!! Great deal on that Cub.. If you get a chance to read some of my older posts you will see that I am a big fan of the "champ" and IMHO I think it is a great first plane and a fantastic lead in for the Cub. If you have 20 hours on your Champ then you will find the Cub easy to fly. Most people that I have taught were able to succesfully transition to the cub after about 20 battery changes( about 3 hours flight time). Your way ahead of that!!! ;D
Please take a few hours and read as much as you can in the forum. Some info like "DISCONNECTING THE ACT" is criticle. You will find articles on mods that some find very important and some feel should be done before your first flight.
Let us know how your first flight goes!!!!

Reading through a lot. I bought a DX6i and have my Champ and SC bound to it (I hope!). I'm having issues with the process of getting the aircraft numbered and downloaded into the tx. Also, the SC did not bind as advertised but is bound. Whenever anything doesn't perform as per the manual, I get a little worried.
I'll let you know how the first flight comes out. I'm very patient and will wait for zero or wind under 5mph for the flight. I'm flying the Champ in winds over 5mph and everything is okay. Maybe by the coming weekend but the International Seaplane Fly-in is Saturday in Greenville, Maine. Have tp keep things in perspective and see some big planes fly!
Thanks
Dave
