ummmmmm, no lol, ahahaha, my cub had semi scale gear so that would be why it did not bounce, i have just answed my own question lol, thank you tony. any sugestions on how to get silky smooth landings?

Practice ! Either commit to a wheel landing or a three pointer. Rate of descent needs to almost zero at touchdown,,,more practice.

Well.... as you know I sell 50% airplanes and the Decathlon was a planned aircraft to have released. TBM beat me to it!!

I didnt want to step on the toes of TBM so I did the 38% and 56% ones, I thought if a person wanted a 50% one, they would go with the TBM one..... If they wanted a smaller or bigger one they could go through me. Now I see Pilot-RC now has a 100cc Decathlon and will probabbly step on my toes in direct competition... so, I guessing TBM will not play nice now and show the same respect I did.. BUT, we'll see.

The Cub I think would be good.

Sly3D · 07-04-2010, 12:50 AM

Go for the Cub. I have seen a few fly before. Including the 60%. The Cub looks like it would be a lot more fun to fly.

I have a 50% Cub and just love it. It is fun to fly and will do most all of the basic manuvers. Bill has been great to work with answering questions and providing general support.
