RE: Spin training
I learned to fly in the mid fifties just after the requirement was deleted but my instructor still gave spin training.I stoped instructing in the late '90's but I taught spin reconition and recovery when instructing in the Cessna 150,152 and 172 but not in the Piper Pa-28 series.

A good fictional book about the Tuskegge Airman is "The Homestead Grays "by James Wylie.It was published by Avon in 1978.hard to find but worth the effort.It was available through Amazon.

RE: Modeltech Super Cub
I'm on my third one,actualey it took 2 1/2 models to make this one. I'm using a Magnum .91 four stroke for power which is more power then is needed.I have a little over 200 hours in a PA-18-150 and it mimics the full scale in every way.I have no problems with rudder control It works right down to touch down when using cross controls during cross wind landings. Only problems I had was with the first one was hard to balance.It took 3 oz. in the cowl the other two took no added weight at all.the faps are really fun,I programed trim with each flap setting . I'm using a Airtronics RDS 8000 which has three flap setting up,half,and full down.

RE: Hangar 9 Cub ARF 40
I start my takeoff with just a little right rudder just as the tail wheel breaks ground start to add up elevator to maintain that attitude,tail wheel about an inch off the ground,and it will fly off all by itself. you will need to keep in a bit of right rudder for P factor.on landing about six inches off the ground start adding up elevator holdong the aircraft off the ground as long as you can and it will touch down in a three point attitude with almost no foward speed.I have over 300 hours in the full scale J-3and it flies like the real thing.
