Drop Module - will it survive a grass landing? Aug 8, 2007 14:09:34 GMT 1

We're coming from a bad Commander experience, and hoping for more fun with the Super Cub.

My kids (14 and 11) really like the X-port drop module.
On the Commander, every time we landed on grass (3" tall), the drop module "base" would shatter.

Given the higher clearance of the Super Cub, does the drop module survive more often?

Thanks!
Eph
