my cub wont take off

[Crazy Horse]

Straight talking ginginho, harsh but true.
I like that in a pilot (from Top Gun, not me).
FWIW, I visited my LHS some months back and one of the staff had a photo of a poor chap that had been hit by an RC aircraft. The propeller had struck him only briefly on his back but the resulting injury looked like he had been sliced open with a butcher's knife.
One of the worst injuries I have seen and believe me, in my previous employment I saw some bad ones.
Don't get put off thenameisdame, this is a great hobby, but do your homework and find a darn great space.
Happy take-offs and keep safe!

Watched the vid, saw the repairs from the other thread, read all the comments...

1. The repair looks crappy, but it should work. You also say you added a lot of CA glue... you've probably got extra weight in the tail, but not enough to cause a SERIOUS issue, just make the plane not fly as well as it should.

2. People have mentioned the battery, and you haven't responded about that. Do you have a voltmeter? Does it accept a full charge, and does it hold it? If you don't have a voltmeter, go to Radio Shack and spend the $20. You'll use it often enough for it to be worth it.

3. Judging by it being red, it looks like you have the older version. Is your battery a LiPO or a NiCD/NiMH? The red one is NOT the Super Cub LP and must use a Ni battery. You cannot just swap out the battery type to make it an LP.

4. It's an older plane and it uses a brushed motor. It's entirely likely that this motor is simply worn out & needs to be replaced.

5. It LOOKS (hard to tell not being there with you) like you're giving it entirely too much elevator. The old Cub needs a long runway and low climb angle. Have you tried a hand launch?

Just got déjà vu reading your responses back to back!
