Default Woo hoo

I got almost three minutes of flight with my super cub with the eagle tree stabilizer before the three crashes wiped out the front of the plane.
The pisser of it I can fly OK on the sim, do touch and go, but I guess I need to put in 5-7mph winds into it.
The response seemed so slow compared to the stick movements, by the time the plane got to where it should be, boom. Two more times, I'm done. At least I flew all 3 batteries with the 350qx, maybe I'm too slow for helis and planes. All I want to do is have fun with all types of aircrafts, I guess it's not in my cards. Maybe lint spotting with be my thing, no expense of I get it wrong.

Planes are much cheaper to crash. I have smashed some planes up pretty good but spent no money because all it took was some balsa, epoxy and covering which I generally have on hand. Takes more time though. Helicopters are good to go quick but cost a lot of money. I have had airplane repairs take a few weeks of on and off repair. I have been given smashed airframes and had them flying. My 40 size Cub was a crash victim that I repaired and stuffed with gear I had on hand.
