I went by the field this evening and was introduced to another 'expert'. He also advised the Super

Cub and offered to teach me to fly it. I think that's what I'll go with and get the upgraded

Whatever you do, don't take it to the local park to "try it out" before you go to the field for your
first lesson. No matter how straight the control surfaces look and how careful you are setting
things up, a new airplane will not fly straight until it's trimmed out. It will bank, turn, dive or
climb, and usually more than one of those. It can be a handful for an experienced RC pilot to
keep a really bad one in the air until you get the trim set so it'll fly straight with the sticks at rest.
For someone's very first flight? Forget it.

Do you adjust the trim while it's in the air or do you have to bring
it back down for each adjustment?
