HobbyZone Super Cub LP Maiden Flight

This morning I decided to take the plunge and take my larger RC plane out for it's maiden flight. The weather conditions were less than ideal with overcast skies and rain in the air. The field I flew out of was rather waterlogged and not exactly smooth so the landing wasn't perfect. The wheels on the undercarriage wouldn't roll in the long waterlogged grass, however there wasn't any damage as I made my approach slow.

Parkzone J-3 Cub Micro Maiden Outing

This is some video from my maiden outing of my Parkzone j-3 Cub Micro.

While waiting for the weather to improve so I can fly my Hobbyzone Super Cub, I decided to get a Parkzone micro flyer. I decided to go for the Parkzone J-3 Cub as it should fly similar to my larger Super Cub. 

This little beauty handles superbly and so far I have managed 10 flights without a hitch.

Completed Hobbyzone Super Cub LP

Here are a few pictures of my Hobbyzone Super Cub LP taken Christmas Eve shortly after completing construction of the bind to fly version. I just need to wait for some nice weather now so I can go and fly it.

A few snaps of my Blade Micro Heli Collection

On the run up to Christmas I purchased a Blade MCX2 to go with my Spectrum DX6i and Hobbyzone Super Cub LP. Shortly after Christmas I really got the buzz for RC flying models so decided to buy a Blade MSR also as you can see below.

Test Flying My New Blade MCX2



Over the years I have had quite a few RC models ranging from electric cars to nitro monster trucks & boats. I have now decided to get into RC planes & helicopters. I purchased a Spectrum DX6i and Blade MCX2 bind & fly. This was my first outdoor flight of the MCX2.
