Here is a video from my first time out with the super Cub. Need to get a better camera, and hopefully on day get one mounted on the plane.

Wow, windy day?  If this is your first time and you are handling it in that much wind you should be proud! Anything above 7 mph is going to be difficult and possible ill-advised. Don't worry about the landings...they become less catastrophic in time!  |

Don't worry about the landings...they become less catastrophic in time! Thanks, the wind was throwing me for a loop. I went out my second time, didn't fair as well, did some damage. But I have almost everything fixed, will take another video and will post that as well. Made some changes, gave it a paint job for it will be easier to see in the sky. |

Make sure you check the Center of Gravity (CG) before flying again...even something as trivial as paint can cause all sorts of flying issues. An unbalanced plane flys once!
