Hobby Zone Super Cub Ready to Fly radio controlled airplane

Next I made a climbing turn back toward the field and with the Cub flying straight and level I fed in full DOWN elevator. After the nose dropped I seemed to lose control of the airplane: the motor cut off. After my initial panic I realized that the ACT had taken command of the airplane. The nose brought itself back up to the horizon, and as soon as the airplane was back into a normal attitude the motor came back to life and all was well again. The ACT program seems to do what you SHOULD do with this airplane if it begins to get away from you: bring the throttle to about one third power and release the stick.

The Positive stability that is built into this cub is what makes it a great first airplane: it literally flies itself. I took the airplane back up to 'Training Altitude' and tried to put it into every unusual attitude I could think of. Each time I did simply bringing the throttle back and letting go of the stick resulted in the Cub returning to straight and level flight.

Started with a wild hawk which was horrible so I went and bought this one and flew it like a champ! Love it and highly recommend for people who never had flown!

and with a basic understanding of how an airplane flies you should have it mastered with a few flights, my hobby store stocks all parts should you break a wing or any of the stabs, and i was very impressed with the customer service, see post below

this plane is definately for beginners, super easy to fly, like the review says, it practically flies itself, mine will fly maintain altitude at 1/3 throttle, just crusing, i've crashed it a few times, and had minimal damage, even had the reciever fry and dead sticked in for a somewhat smooth landing, and after contacting hobbyzone they replaced the reciever and motor free of charge, all around i'd say ya cant go wrong with this plane, it flies great, is very stable,

@warriorscatsrule805 That is most likely because you did not bind your controller to your receiver. look it up how to do it on google. but make sure that you have the little plug that your controller should have come with.
