Mini Super Cub RTF

Great for people who are just starting out with rc airplanes..sturdy,fast, and reliable. The DVD is really helpful, the directions are on point. Everything you need Is right in the box. I can t wait to fly it again.

I have never flown RC planes before in my life. I bought this with no expectations at all, and I have been pleasently surprised.

First of all the box contains a great DVD that has some good tips in it. All of the parts were very easy to assemble and hobby-lobby.com contains a great set of replacement parts at a good price to get you up and running again should you damage a part.

Although I can't imagine ever needing to, I have crashed this thing on it's nose, done wing cartwheels, crashed into a few trees and this thing just keeps on goin, there is basically no damage!!

The only reason I crash this thing is because I fly it in high wind, or do something stupid like bank right when I meant to go left, or fly it in tight conditions with lots of obstacles.

AS a beginner I can easily get this thing to cruise at 50-100 feet,and basically turn off the motor and glide my way around forever. It's a super fun beginner plane and I am totally hooked, durable, easy to fly, Anti-crash really works, and a word there.

The Anti crash really does help "smooth" your turns and dives. All I can say is when I turn off anti-crash (which is really easy btw, just a joystick click), it feels more squirelly and lets me dive harder. I have really appreciated the ACT when I lose the plane in the sun or whatever, or it's too far away, it auto-levels the plane, and helps with crashes, I still crash, but I'd imagine without anti-crash my plane would have been toast by now.

Got the first in the mail and it was dammaged in shipping. Took it out of the box to look and see if anything else besides the wing and tail had got a beating and found the throttle had no response. Hobby Lobby sent me a new plane and the same thing was defective! The only way to get the throttle to work was to hold the stick in the bottom left corner for a second before controlling the throttle. Then after flying it about ten feet out the throttle would stop responding and just die. Battery was full charge on both plane and remote. Two defective planes in a row indicates a manufactorer who doesnt care about the quality of the product they sell. Now I have to send another plane back.

This plane flys great. Its great beginner and the is asome it survises crashes well. The battery dosent last long though.

The Mini Super Cub is absolutely fantastic and perfect for any first-time flyer. It has anti-crash technology to help prevent any crashes. But even when you turn the anti-crash technology off, the aircraft will withstand any clumsy "accidents" I sometimes make. I got this plane 3 days ago and I've crashed it over 10 times and it still flies as if I just got it out of the box. The battery sometimes takes over an hour to charge, and some parts fall off, but they can be easily repaired with tape. I would recommend this to any beginner flyer!

it flew out of the box.

Got it for Christmas. Flew well the first day and crashed lightly a few times. Second day: flew like a champ! Crashed huge. Busted the nose and tail off. Super glued the crack on the engine mount. Used gorilla glue for the nose and tail plus some packing tape. Now it's awesome! Best $100 bucks spent. Easy to fly. Easy to fix. Keeps on flying.

5 stars!

I crashed it time after time, and it still works Perfectly! Its awesome

The Mini Super Cub is a great beginner plane. Large enough to be easily visible in the air but small enough to fly in a small ball field. Nice scale appearance and very stable flight characteristics. Coming with everything you need for just under 100.00. I don't think you will find a better package to get you in the air. My only minus against the Mini Super Cub is that the throttle stick is spring loaded. This means you have to hold it in position or it will spring back to the zero position. This may actually be a good thing for new pilots to teach them throttle control. For myself, having used several other radios with standard sliding throttles, it took a while to get used to.

My 12 year old daughter had been bugging me to take her flying - but it had been over 25 years since I had put this hobby on the shelf so I was not sure which way to turn. The local hobby shop pushed me towards this plane (somewhat against my will) but I caved in a bought it for her.

I have to say - thanks to the shop for pushing me this way. The plane was very easy for me to re-learn how to fly and my daughter is starting to get the hang of it as well. It repairs easily (I know this from experience!) and is very forgiving (once you get some altitude - like the instructions say). With the small wheels it won't land on the grass but not really a problem because with a little practice you can come in very smoothly and not damage the plane.

A word of advice follow the instructions and do not fly the plane when its windy - this is a very light weight plane and the wind will push it all over the sky - this is how I learned to repair the plane, as well as learned how to get it out of a tree when my daughter lost control and "parked" it 15 feet off the ground!!!

I would suggest this for anyone learning

This is not my first three channel plane...But is the best I have had so far. Before getting into three channels I experimented with some extremely easy two channel planes with limited abilities. I bought a couple of three channel war birds from others with disastrous results...I mean beyond crash and burn. They were just more than I was ready for I guess. Anyway this plane is much easier to fly,it is more maneuverable,forgiving and when you do crash (as I still do often) is very forgiving. On a scale of one to ten...I give it a firm ten.

My son and I had so much fun with a toy Air-hog plane we decided to try a real RC plane. I researched a good bit and decided on the Mini Super Cub and I am very glad I did. The smaller size is easier to carry around than the bigger planes and it flies very well. If you are high enough it will recover from most any mistake you make as a pilot on it's own with or without A.C.T. It has plenty of power and is easy to repair. One particularly dumb pilot error sent our baby cub straight into pavement. I thought the cub was destroyed. But I was able to repair the cub without buying spare parts and it flies as good as new. (Bent shaft and servos came loose). I found part of the fun is tinkering with your plane to make it better. It very satisfying to see your plane fly after a repair. This plane also has easy to find spare parts if something is broken. I am hooked on flying now. If I bought a different plane I may be singing a different tune.

Where do I start? The plane was delivered promptly. Every thing was there. Charged battery. Did pre flight, every thing ok. My problem!!!!!!!!!! Did a few run way take offs. Crash and burn, my fault. Plane still in tack. Went to neighbors big yard. Three hand launches. Crash and burn, my fault. Finally got it launched. Good control. THEN!!! I kind of froze on the controls. Plane went farther and father away. Couldn't get it to come back MY FAULT. I lost sight of it at about 1/4 mile above or behind some trees. Lost the plane. Looked for 3 hours. $100. down the drain. ADVICE. Get a simulator to train on. Its cheaper than loosing a plane and lots of fun too. If you can fly it, its a great plane. When I learn to fly I'm getting another one.

I have flown many many planes and I learned on the Original Super Cub... I thought it would be fun to buy the Mini Super Cub because I have had so much fun with the bigger one. When I first got it, I had to used to the controller because it is a little more like a toy plane controller than the other planes that I am used to. For example, the throttle stick centers at neutral rather than at the bottom for zero throttle. I kept trying to pull the stick down farther just because it felt weird to have the stick in the middle at zero throttle. The other negative thing I would like to add is that you have to turn the ACT off every time you fly it because it is set to always be on. On a positive note... this plane floats really really well. It flies a long time. It is very very durable. It is very easy to fly.

I am someone who likes to make things fly better than stock, so I took the plane apart and put my own gear in it. WOW, what a great flier now!!! I found a motor that weighs about the same as the stock one but it will pull this plane straight up as far as the eye can see. I am also able to fly for about 16 minutes on a 460 mAh lipo (3 cell.) I really am having a blast with this plane.

Unbeatable for the price, I found this airplane to be a great gift for a friend who wanted to get into RC flying. He has since moved on to aileron planes and found this airplane to be a great trainer.

I'm new to RC flying but I found this plane to be a wonderful first plane. I highly recommend it for its easy set up and great flight handling attributes. It can handle a good amount of flight mishaps and get up and fly again. A lot of fun to fly with minimal set up and I believe a great way to start to learn about the world of RC flying.

The mini super cub is a easy to fly plane with witch you can teach yourself to fly. This plane is equipped with ACT or anti crash technology to keep you out of steep dives. I personally only flew it once but I had a good flight with it. The plane took off like a shot and flew smoothly. I took a few dives but the ACT saved me. It took only a few minutes to assemble and even less to get in the air and have fun flying. My advice though, DO NOT!!! fly it on, near or over snow or water or it will fry the main controls. That's how I lost mine. But still the Mini Super Cub is a great choice for beginners who want to learn how to fly fast and safe with no help at all.

Hi. I have been fly'n rc airplanes for many years and i wanted to get a beginner for my son. He does not know how to fly by i have been teaching him after a week he could fly it perfectly. IT is a must have for beginner rc pilots. if you are one and want to get an airplane to teach yourself? This is the ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
