HobbyZone Carbon Cub S on Float - Water Rudder Mod

Having flown this on the water a few times I have grown tired of the thing getting on step and veering to the left or right on its own, so I ventured down the path of doing a mod so this thing so it has a water Rudder. I hope this helps you if you need a water rudder too.

Float flying is great. I flew at my local lake for 5 years and loved it, 2011 to 2026. Brilliant video, thanks for sharing it.

Wish you had made a video of making the mods, nice job

What an awesome modded cub!

They were 18A ESC's until they went to the SMART ESC which is the 30A 3S-6S ESC that they use in a bunch of planes. Basically lets you run 4S with the 30A ESC with the stock prop or something similiar but not too aggressive bc with 4S it gets close to its limit but ive never had any issues.

Nice mix with pontoons. I do that on snow. I fly 4s with a 40 Amp ESC .

What paint did you use for the floats?

I’d like for this dude to program my dx6e. Fucking throw rates and kanyflin pins and ugggh.

Ugg. I hate adding weight. But great vid. Been debating floats as I live on a pond but 🤷‍♂️.
