Hi Gorgy.

When turning give the cub a bit of elevator, so as you turn, pull the right control back a bit. That should help you out of problems.

Give this flight simulator a go:

There's a "super cup" model in it that's pretty much identical to the cub. Order that and give that a go first. I did and it proved to be ideal.

Once you've repaired your cub, make sure that the rudder isn't suddenly turning left on it's own. Check this at home by leaving the Tx and Rx on for a while. I had this problem with my Cub, and had to order a new receiver as the radio gear in these planes is sometimes pretty poor quality. Happy flying!
