Hobbyzone Super Cub's first flight

My first attempt to fly my Hobbyzone Super Cub ended in a bit of a crash. It was my third attempt of the morning and shortly after takeoff it banked sharply to the right, clipping a tree with the right wing. This caused an almost immediate nose dive which resulted in a broken propeller, firewall, cowling and wing strut. Luckily all the parts are replaceable though it was difficult to find them. The local hobby shop wasn't able to get some of the parts until Mid-August. A few searches on the Internet found a couple of stores in Florida and Texas that had the necessary parts in stock.

I think the problem with the first flight (other than my lack of experience) was the rudder trimming. Following the instructions in the manual I trimmed the rudder and elevator using the remote. After talking to the kid at the hobby store, he said I should mechanically trim the rudder and elevator by turning the ends of the control rods.

The plane is now repaired, trimmed, and ready for flight. Now I just need to get the weather to cooperate!
