From a distance it must have looked like I was swatting at a sworm of bee's on my controller. Dam ACT messed me up good. This is my first plane and I reallt want to get the hang of it..it's not as easy as the sim or the video's. I broke my prop, plus several other things, and I cant figure out how to get the prop off. Help before I really make things worse. DaveT After reading some of the comments I dont feel so stupid. From a distance it must have looked like I was swatting at a sworm of bee’s on my controller.

However I crash my Super cub just two times and the rest had been just almost good landing, is not bad he? Well, I will ask for a favour about the super cub and it is that since yesterday I can’t move my pitch control (In the remote control) farther than half way because the airplane turn of even after change the batteries in the remote control and a complete full charge for the plane’s battery (I discharge and charge twice to be sure was not the battery), so I will appreciate any help of course if someone know why does it happen, and Thanks so much for that and for let me feel better.

Get the adjustment rght so the trims on the radio are as close to center as possible.
