i think youd like an rc car better xD stop taxying and flyyY!

just kidding,nice job pal :P

[rickgode]

@beeromaniac Thanks. The reason I was taxying so much was to dispel rumor on RCGroups that it would not turn without a steerable tailwheel. As you can see in the video, it turns just fine. Too bad they don't make them anymore.

Instead they have the J3 Cub. I used a yellow highlighter and a black sharpie to mimic the paint scheme of the Cub. It was lame to say the least, so I'm glad ParkZone came out with the Cub.

@rickgode hmm..why wouldnt it?its an ultralight plane,and with only a little rudder kick it turns like a drift car...

as for y they discontinued,i heard rumors that it happened because of a disagreement between them and kyosho...it was exactly the same as Kyosho minium...even the tx and stand...ho knows..

@beeromaniac Your exactly right about the rudder turning it like a drift car. That's why I made the video. A bunch of guys on RCGroups thought that it wouldn't taxi.

Very good job on the making of this video, it looks great! The thing is for me, I am trying to find an r/c plane for christmas and I was considering this one, but I don't have an indoor place to fly it. How well does yours work in mild wind outside?

[rickgode]

Thank you. First of all, good luck finding one, as they have discontinued this model. They have a little Micro Cub that is pretty much the same thing. (I'm getting one of those too!)

It will fly in mild wind, but I wouldn't recommend it. I have this "candle" rule. If a candle can stay lit, then you can fly outside. I wouldn't fly it unless it is absolutely dead calm outside. Which it is at night most of the time.

Any sort of wind bounces it around and makes it very difficult to fly.

Hey, thanks for replying. I will check out the 4-Site, and nice flying.

[rickgode]

I recommend it 100%!!! It depends on how well you can fly. If you know what your doing and can do 3D then this plane will bore you. But, E-Flite has another micro called the Micro 4-Site. I haven't flown it, but have seen videos and it is AMAZING. I already have 3D foamies that can fly like the 4-Site, but the thing is tiny and looks to be able to do any 3D maneuver you throw at it.

E-Flite doesn't make the Citabria or Cessna anymore, but they have come out with a Cub around the same size.

[RC2000345]

Do you recomend it? what's the trick variety?

[rickgode]

Thanks! Touch & Go's with this plane are a snap and a ton of fun.
