  1. Yes it has the safe stabiliser but im flying in intermediate. I should have some authority in that setting ?? Im hesitant to switch to full on just yet, suppose I could for a second or two to see what happens ? I get tons of rudder and aileron and it climbs very well if I whack on full up, it just doesn't want to come down ?
  2. Hi Folks Ive been enjoying my Carbon Cub for the past couple of weeks ( no crash so far !! ) Plenty of circuits and bumps. Ive been flying it on intermediate and with full throw. The machine flies like a dream, straight as a die from the box however when its flying level it goes up with up elevator but when I input some down, it doesn't go down ? To land I find Im having to turn and throttle right back to get the thing down. Ive got used to it now but wouldnt mind it coming down a bit more aggressively when I want it to Any ideas ? Should I bring the ( battery ) CG forward and trim the elevators. Bones

  4. Hi all Quick hello. New guy here from the Surrey area, Nr Dorking. Just purchased the Hobby zone Carbon cub and have been enjoying flying that for the past few days. It flies really well and at a good slow pace for my 53 YO eyes ! I want to get into the scale warbird side of things at some point and one or two AC I have a eye on is the Vought F4U and a I think a Lancaster. So I will be asking a few questions regarding differences in characteristics between high and low wing flying etc. Next stage models from the cub etc . Cheers folks Bones
