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?
