    We just flew our maiden flite of the Simple Cub my son and I built at Flite Fest Texas. Our first build and my first time flying RC in 25 years. She's an absolute peach. Thanks Josh for the help and advice. We love our Cub!

    Of all the diversity our sport has to offer, I appreciate it when you return to your roots - this is "Flite Test" for me. Thank you.

      *VERY TRUE!!!* FliteTest to me, are Simple Rugged Aircraft that nearly ANYONE can Fly...
      That's also incredibly AFFORDABLE!!! 👍👍👏👏👏👏
      For Disabled Veterans like myself, this is the ONLY way I'm able to Fly!
      THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart Gentlemen!

    Just bought this kit the other day with shipping to the UK! Found this video tonight. Bought the B power pack with it too. Maybe should of got a bigger pack but hey. Screw it! Cant wait to build and fly it. Only RC flight so far was a "trainer" plastic fuselage I bought many years ago that badly compressed the fuselage trying to take off. Then a cheap £60 park trainer made of foam that I've bought recently. thankfully with a gyro. Cant wait to build and try to fly!

    My first plane was the HobbyZone Sport Cub S. I've always loved it and I've learned to fly with it. The only problem was that everytime someone sneezed, the plane got blown out by the wind. Now that you guys have made a "heavy" Cub, I'll go back to my first love :) ... You guys are wonderful!

      The Super Cub is the plane I learned on, even though I built a Taylorcraft 450 and 60 size P40 Warhawk first. I lost it in a tree, and when it fell out someone took it, so I replaced it with the Sport Cub. I bought another one for either my wife or grandson to learn on, they're great RTF airplanes.

    • @isaaclyonsf1
      @isaaclyonsf1 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    now I have a question, I plan on getting one of these kits. mainly because the Piper was featured prominently in one of my favorite films. HOWEVER that version had floats. my question is, how well do the floats work as skids? because I hope to replicate the plane from the film, but don't live near a body of water. I know this is a little out of the box but it was my first thought the moment I saw you guys had a cub speed build. if they don't work as skids right away what are some things I could do to replicate the float look while still doing grass landings?

    I fly a quad but was wanting to fly a plane too, I bought the trainer but screwed it up somehow so is this an easier build, I messed up by doing wrong folds and I think the horizontal stabilizer is angled cause it beats off to the left and then nose dives, I'll make sure to pay attention if I do get another one, so is this a good first place and build? Is it easy?
