Pros:

1) Fairly easy to fly.
2) An added adventure.
3) Nicely balanced.

Cons:

1) It requires 20 minutes of assembly!
2) The screw heads strip when trying to tighten - poor quality screws.
3) They have fallen apart twice.
4) It really eats up the battery.
5) The plane is much less stable when using these.
6) They are fairly expensive.

Overall, I'm going back to wheels. I've gotten a wheel set that is larger than the original wheels so I can take off from lawns without flipping.

The Super Cub is a great beginner plane, and its versatility adds to the ability to keep it interesting to fly after you pass the beginner stage. Putting ailerons on the plane is one possibility, but adding the floats and then taking off and landing on water is a whole new skill level. You have to be careful to keep an up-elevator during take-off and landing phases to prevent the possibility of the floats to submarine when the plane taxis or lands, which would result in getting the motor and electrical components wet and damaged. Once that skill is mastered, it really is a joy to fly this plane over the lake.
