NO! NO! NO! Pour boiling water over it and it will "pop" out! Don't cover it up with some :censor:, fix it! Very easy.

Very twitchy for a trainer. That also makes it not a good flying Cub. Cubs are by nature a fairly docile plane. This one is not. It does not lend itself to leisurely Cub style flying. Even with DR...

IMHO, anything "glider-ish" is OK for a 1st plane, but pretty tame to stay with. I have a S Cub with stock motor and electronics, 2.4 BNF, and I have flattened the wing and added ailerons. THAT was...

pattern14 - maybe "sloppy" was a poor choice. It is very stable looking, but so slow to turn. As a trainer, I fear the student may be lulled into thinking most planes give you that much time to do...

I use a 10X7 on mine and it is not a speed demon. You can fly at 50% power ... remember, YOU control the power. No need to be blasting around at 75-100% power if you don't want to.

I also agree with the HZ SC! Mine has a flat wing and ailerons also. It can be easily made into a 4 ch trainer, then you won't NEED to buy a new plane to learn ailerons. I have other planes that...

Kits don't come with covering, or the iron to put it on. Lots of glue, time, etc. Many people are very good builders and enjoy that part of RC as much as flying. Sounds like you are quite new to...

I just looked and they seem to be in stock. The ARF with fixed gear is out, as is the RxR AF version. The one I saw is $220 and is RxR.

IMHO, the UM trainers are very twitchy to fly. Short wings and wind/breeze issues make you stay on top of 'em! More wing, more weight makes most planes easier to control. My $.02

Slow addition of power also helps on almost any plane that has a roll tendency on takeoff. Slowly feed the power to it. Not super slow, but don't stab the power and yank it airborne.
