I’m pretty new to the hobby and although I’ve been reading the FT forums for a while, I have never made a post. I received a RTF Sport Cub S for Christmas 2018, and I have been hooked ever since. Not long after that, I was going through the garage and started selling anything that was collecting dust from not being used anymore. After about a month of selling things, I had enough money to go buy a Simple Storch SBK, Power Pack C, DX8, and everything else needed to complete the build. I flew that plane almost every weekend…fly, crash, repair, repeat. Eventually it was time to build a new plane, and I was pretty sure I wanted to build the Simple Scout. Because I was working with the electronics from the Storch, I was a little concerned the power pack C and 2200mah batteries wouldn’t work in that plane; however, it seemed that at least a few people in the FT community have had success doing it, so I decided I was going to at least try.
I'm really happy with how it turned out, and it flies great! It is a touch on the nose heavy side, but it doesn't seem to mind at all when flying. It does, however, like to nose over at the end of its roll out when landing, but I'll keep working to see how I can improve that.
