SDM Piper Cub: Back to Square One
After countless hours with the E-Sky Lama Heli transmitter, fair weather allowed me to fly the Cub. However, the transmitter is very wierd in that the rudder/elevator are on separate sticks, and the throttle is a lever on the back, whereas the Lama has the traditional controller setup (left stick: throttle/rudder, right stick: aileron/elevator). Needless to say, I had some close calls until I properly mentally calibrated.
