Hello Everyone!
I am from Pennsylvania and I just ordered a HobbyZone Super Cub DSM as my first plane. I have driven RC cars and trucks for many years, recently got into quadcopters and now finally taking the plunge into airplanes. Many years ago I built a trainer kit (can't recall name now) and put a Enya .19 engine in it. Taxied it around a bit near my house (in city) but never took off. Well had some work and life changes back then and ended up selling it. I attended a RC Fun Fly with my son recently and this sparked the interest in planes again. After reading many positive reviews of this model I decided to purchase it. I have seen some posts here about doing some recommended modifications. I plan on doing some of those after getting some flight time on the SC. I would think first and foremost would be a battery upgrade for longer flight times, then adding the ailerons when I feel ready. Probably upgrade the motor to brushless around that time as well.
I look forward to receiving my model and getting it setup and out on the field this weekend, if weather permits of course.
*Update* - Just remembered what that trainer was from years ago... a Great Planes PT-20.

, especially as you are a newbie to fixed wing aircraft.
