CARBON CUB S+ | Review & Maiden (beginner's perspective!)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- Happy new year!! I'm back with a video on the Carbon Cub S+. I go over the features of this plane and take it out for my first flight of 2019! I've only been flying for about 5 months, so this is a beginner rc pilot's perspective.
This plane comes with SAFE+ technology. So along with the 3 flight modes (beginner/intermediate/experienced) it also has a GPS module that can perform a self land, holding pattern, and virtual fence. I've seen mixed reviews of the GPS on TH-cam so I decided to try it with the GPS turned OFF, especially since it requires a lot of open space (which I don't have at my flying field).

OVERALL IMPRESSIONS
This is definitely a great looking cub! After flying it a few times, I'd say this plane is probably not the best for someone's first plane - maybe 2nd or 3rd. It's a tail dragger so it's a bit squirrely on the runway during taxi and takeoffs, it is not the best lander (bounces around a bit, even with the big wheels), and also has a tendency to stall during slow flight and requires good throttle control. The plane has optional flaps, but requires a 7ch transmitter and an extra servo (which I ended up installing).
Hope this beginner's perspective review was helpful! Happy flying.

I just got one of these yesterday. I'm brand new to flying as of 2 weeks ago with a Sport Cub. Today, my second day of owning the Carbon Cub, a spectator asked me how many *years* I've been flying. "Maybe 1.5 hours." I was just happy to not crash the thing. Beginner mode is amazing.
It's really great to see a young lady take to the air in this fantastic hobby of, RC.
Your cute little plane flys well, however it is subject to the wind, due to it's light weight.
I'm a long time RCer, going back 20 years plus. I fly Pattern planes, and extreme aerobatic types. My pattern is Focus Sport, with the fuse at 72", and the wings at 65". Weight at 12.5 lbs. I built it 8 years ago, and it flys like it's on a rail. For aerobatics, I have come down to a German foam plane, the Hottrigger 1400. Flys great as well.
I have my FAA Private license as well, and have owned full sized. My last was a Grumman Yankee. Look them up. I do so love aviation. I'm also a retired Medical Engineer.
Best to you in you pursuit of flying, but watch out. This could lead to you wanting to get your own FAA license, then next comes your own Cessna 152, or such.
Need any advice, or questions, just ask.
Been watching your videos for over a year or two and I see your getting big into planes . I was big into rc car and now just got into drones and so fun being in the air 😀
Aw thanks! Yeah I've been doing some brand ambassador stuff with horizon so I got the chance to try out some beginner planes and also have a few more advanced ones to work my way up to (Pitts s1-s, convergence). It's been a ton of fun! Glad you're liking the air as well
Great flying!!!🎉...and showing the different modes!!!✈️🛩
Thanks!
I can tell you have experience in crashing, "it's still in one piece." "that's a good thing." 😁 I have this plane as an RTF with the GPS system in it. It came that way in the beginning. Very cool for teaching a newbie. They can't get too far away before the plane will return overhead.
Nice cub, good landings, I have the gps on my birds, im thinking of disconnecting them. If you crunch a foamy, or crack one, you can usually glue em back together using toothpics, and foam cure glue. Acrylic paint hides a multiple of sins. Great Job RC Girl!
Happy New year to you as well, nice flying plane and great video. I had the original version , the red n white , I literally flew it till i wouldn't fly anymore. Than re built it and gave it away at a indoor fly that we where having, Some 11 year boy wanted to learn how to fly , but didnt have the finances to get involved , So me and my buddy gave him the plane and a older spektrum radio and battery. He parents got a little teary eyed . Its all about getting the younger generation into the hobby. Keep on flying your doing an excellent job. Stay safe
Love how this plane flys on the simulator ..can't wait to fly the real rc
Love my carbon cub s+!
My first plane and i just love it.
Oh yea, some getting use to alright, but fun.
Great video as always....so much help. Be safe out there!
The thrill of flying is what makes it exciting, unlike many of the RC units out there you just can’t stop and correct something you must work to keep it in one piece till your on the ground. You can turn this plane on a dime with your ailerons in advance mode.
Thank you for making this awesome video. I am going to be hopefully buying this plane soon. I am a beginner plane pilot. I have never flown fixed wing before. I am a very experienced quadcopter pilot though. I was thinking of the sport cub s, but it is too small and I want a plane that is big and durable.
Cool and fun vid as usual! Happy New Year RC Girl from France!
Beautiful landing!!!👏👏👏👏👏just work more the rudder when touch the ground!!!!👏👏👏👏
I just ordered this plane. I should be here Monday! I can't wait to get it in the air! Great Vid!
This is a grate flying plane, and I believe it is one of the easiest to fly, gut the gps and fence and I believe it is better.
Good job .I'm really intrested in this plane. I haven't learned to fly yet so I've been researching this particular model. Awesome vid. Thanks
Highly recommend a Bixler 2 pusher prop plane w no landing gear or something close to a semi glider as your first plane. The Apprentice is another good plane.
this is a great plane but if you want something that will fly almost the same get you a sport cub S with safe .. its tiny .. handles crashes well and is just awesome for the price. also you can upgrade to 500mah batteries and fly for 30 minutes.
@@nabbsone Sage advice. I'm in the same boat. I've purchased a Aerostar S(?) pusher for my 1st. We'll see what happens. Good videos btw
I just discovered your channel which is very nice. Great content and thanks for sharing your experience. I’ve been flying quadcopters for 5 years now but it’s I only recently that I started to fly RC planes :) what a feeling it’s great. So many things to learn and discover. For me the landing is the most challenging and I’m practicing with 2 channel aircrafts 😅 I’m already looking for the next step and this Carbon Cub seems to be a perfect choice to learn. Thanks again for your review 👍🏻
A well done video, thanks for sharing. I am thinking of getting into the hobby so a beginners perspective was most helpful. Good luck with your new plane.
Great advice about not making a GPS airplane your first plane. (unless you enjoy a techy challenge)Yes they can for the most part land themselves but they can't see trees and powerlines when they are trying to line themselves up for final. Pay close attention to the flightpath the plane chooses for itself. You may have to intervene! Like you alluded to there is much more to comprehend when using the GPS features. Keep those instructions! The Apprentice has been around for many years for a very good reason.
I have the old Parkzone Sport Cub S2 version of this plane. It did not come with Safe but it did come with AS3x. A few years back I removed the AR636 Rx and replaced it with a FrSky Rx with telemetry since I hate using timers, and added an Eagletree Guardian. The Guardian works similar to safe but it also allows you to be in a sort of "Safe" mode that auto levels the plane whenever you release the sticks. Even with this mode enabled on the Guardian you can still do Rolls and Loops unlike safe where you have to switch between modes to get the same sort of safety net. I work in a hobby shop and highly recommend the Eagletree Guardian especially for planes without Safe. There are other features as well that will help make 3 D flying easier if that's your cup of tea. You can install one of these in a plane that is not suitable for a beginner and make it much more beginner friendly. (Do not install in a plane that already has Gyro stabilization like AS3x without first replacing the AS3x Receiver I can only imagine that bad things will happen when the AS3x trys to fight the Guardian for Auto leveling and overcoming wind.)
Happy New Year to you and your flying helper. Everything you said about the Cub S is true. I have the older brother to this Cub and it is interesting on takeoff but it will teach you to use the rudder and ailerons. Great video with a lot of good information. Can't wait to see your next flight with the cub.
Thanks! What is the older brother to this?
I have trucks, boats, and planes. Planes are fun because they are more challenging then cares and boats. But I like anything RC. Good Job.
Yep planes are definitely more challenging!
Hi, RC Girl I've been watching your first flights and your doing a great job Re presenting Horizon Hobby. I'm kind of a beginner I started when I was young
back then Horizon Hobby wasn't around just local hobby shop. Where I spent the allowance I got on beginner rubber band planes with the paper that goes
on the outside. Lately I've been flying the Apprentice STS from Horizon Hobby I love there airplanes we go flying every weekend with my son in law and my
son who is very good he just bought the Timber Turbo STOL and he's really good. I'll keep watching your beginner show's there very informative Thanks for the information and keep flying it's fun and always use Horizon Hobby there the BEST this is Michael signing out, Bye
Horizon Hobby was so cool when I told them that my cub went haywire and flew away. they had me send a photo of my receipt and what I had left and then they sent me a completely new plane. and it was in my hands in only like 2 weeks. I was very pleased with their customer service. and this plane is very fun and pretty simple if you can pass the exam for the manual. some of the commands are like impossible fatality codes. nevertheless, this is, or was an excellent beginner RC plane.
Im certain my plane flew away into federally restricted no fly zone right towards Hanford Nuclear Plant. I was sure I was going to have the feds at my door( i had all my info on it). captured it all on my gopro too. Tried to chase it for about 5 mins and then lost sight of it.
Good times!
IT'S NOW 7/27/20!!! LOL LOVE YOUR AIRPLANE VIDEO'S. MORE PLEASE!!!
Looks like fun. I've got no experience with planes, but have always wanted to try one. RealFlight here I come!
What! No planes yet?! You might not want to open that can of worms though... lots of scale building going on in the plane hobby. ;) I've been hosting RealFlight 8 multiplayer sessions, let me know if/when you get it!
i just ordered my carbon cub, thanks for the videos!
Great job! I did my rc maiden flight with the ParkZone Sport Cub S2,which is the exact same airframe as this cub.With the exception of the receiver and the paint,this is the same plane,it even has a Parkzone motor and servos installed in it.I didn't use a simulator or buddy system,I just went out and flew it,and it flew great,but I misjudged the distance to a tree line on my final approach and landed in a tree.Mine does have AS3X,which is nice,but no SAFE or GPS functions.I maidened in May 2018 and have broken the tail off twice and the nose off three times,but I finally got the hang of flying,and the cub still flies pretty good.Now I am looking for my next airplane and can't decide on what to get,too many cool choices out there.Thanks for your videos,they are great!
Awesome, great to hear your flight progression. Yeah there are a ton of great options out there. Do you want to stick with bush planes? The 1.5 m timber is awesome!! It has safe select (so just two flight modes), flaps, floats (included!!) and can be used on a dx6. I used my own money to get that one!
I want something larger than 1.3m for sure.The Timber is very high on my list as is the Grand Tundra and BushMule.I need something faster and heavier.I have a fleet of fpv planes once I'm ready for that,but want to get into edfs soon.My goal in a couple of years is a true turbine powered fighter jet.I worked for 40 years as a lisenced A&P mech.and love airplanes,especially turbines.I just retired and need to smell jet-fuel again one of these days.lol.Really a low wing sport type plane is what I need,but we will see.Thanks!
RC Girl you rock! RC isn't just for guys anymore. I really like electric flight for it quiet and cleanness. I've been returning to the sport after a very long time away. I really like the direction RC is going.Too bad foam dings so easy. My guess is so they sell more planes. I would like to see more soft field take offs and landings with Cub!
Keep up the good work. Love the videos!
You had plenty of space for GPS mode. I fiy in a field 100 ft wide, 200 ft long surrounded by trees and loaded with hawks. Makes for very challenging flying and I'm far from a pro. Good video.
Happy New Year. Nice to see you flying again. What a pretty aircraft and I love the large fat wheels. They make for nicer landings and can handle different types of terrain. I notice you like rudder turns and so do I. A lot of people just bank and yank as they call it just ailerons to turn, but I like to turn keeping the aircraft more level in the air with just a little bit of banking. For me just makes it look more realistic. All I can do at the moment is watch everyone's videos because we have a couple of feet of snow on the ground. I have a few new aircraft I have not even flown yet besides my Radian XL 2.6m wing span which I have only flown once last fall. You must try a glider. For a lot of people it is probably too slow to look for thermals and they mostly just power it around like a normal aircraft, and it can be a little boring for the viewers if one plays with thermals because you can stay up all day lol. That is how i started out was with gliders using the high starts and all. A lot of work. With today's technology, you can power your glider up in seconds and shut off the motor and just relax and have fun chasing the thermals. You have to try it this summer. The only scary thing about gliders is when you get a huge thermal, and next thing you know you are getting up above the clouds, and even with the spoilers out find it hard to get it down. The secret being just fly away and out of the thermal until you get out of the lift and finally can come down lower. Then you can sigh a huge WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ... LOL .. Thanks for the nice demo of a beautiful aircraft and Happy Flying.
Hi RCG, I found another, this one, of your videos and you delivered another "RC Girlism", "When in doubt, round about." I love your narrative as you fly.
love watching all your videos and how too you are the best and adorable too,keep up the great work
Aw shucks. Thanks! 😀
This model so cool !! Love that landing wheel
This is a cool ride ! I also taught myself with it . However , LOL.. it’s now time for the 70mm viper it’s a nice stable ride and I’ve never flown a EDF ever !!! I went from this Carbon to the viper. SAFE is a must with first couple flights & I’m now switching it off.
I've never flown and I'm starting with the f16 Thunderbirds maybe or the f16 eagle
@@brettcoyle2399 How did it go? Depending on the model I dont think EDF is to hard to start with, or even use as a second plane.
@@joshuasterling2144 haven't gotten it yet lol be sometime in March waiting on our taxes
I like tail draggers as they require slightly more skill than a tricycle undercarriage. My takes of pretty straight... you have to anticipate on rudder depending on wind and how much power you apply for take off. I have the Hobby Zone (I think) version of this and I love it. Very aerobatic.
Happy New Year Hayley ! Congratulations on a successful maiden flight ! It’s great to see you enjoying the hobby so much. Looking forward to the day that I see you doing a video flying a 90mm EDF jet ! 😃
Haha hopefully someday!
@@RCGirl
Which is better mini apprentice s2 or carbon cub?
This comment is coming in late (2+ years after your post) so I don't know if you will see it. I really love your videos but was sorry that you didn't report more on the GPS features. I bought this model for my 6 year old grandson because of those amazing features. I am surprised that you didn't use the GPS features, although they are definitely tricky to set up. Set up properly the geofence feature is a great boon to beginners: you have three different options, based on the size and type of field you are flying at. If the plane flies beyond the programmed boundary it takes over control, turns the plane around and rocks the wings when it returns control to you. That solves the problem of loosing the plane by having it fly out of sight. It also has an auto land feature which makes the plane fly downwind and make a landing approach into the wind, landing very close to where it took off from (assuming you took it off into the wind). The trick is that there should not be any trees in the pattern that it returns by (I found I had to quickly switch it into advanced mode to make it over trees it was going to fly into. After that it landed perfectly, hands off!). My grandson lives in Australia so I left the instructions with his Grandpa down under to help him with the set-up. In Australia a cricket field is large enough to fly with no concern for trees with the small geofence if you take off from the bowling strip in the center. Even though Darcy had never flown I could hand the controls to him in beginner mode and he flew it successfully! I do recommend that a beginner fly it with an experienced pilot, however, to make sure the GPS is set up and working properly. I understand that they have come out with a new version where the GPS is optional but it includes a landing sensor that in beginner and intermediate mode, makes it impossible to slam into the ground.
Happy New Year to you, and thank you for a nice video as always!
Are the bush-pilot tires made of hard plastic? Maybe softer rubber tires will make the landings softer, but maybe softer rubber tires in the same size come with a higher weight penalty? Nice acrobatic capacities at slow speed, just what I want in a plane of this type.
Good it is lightweight and have a strong motor, it makes it easier to get airborne fast on a rough runway, this is a plane for me I think, your video convinced me, thank you!
Cheers.
They are not hard plastic but they aren't super squishy either. I'd say like one of those hand exercise ball type foams (does that make sense!? haha). I think the Timber has better landing gear/tires for sure, and is easier to land/take off. Holds a line better. But this plane is still super fun.
Its a good little model and you guys flew it nicely. A hard surfaced runway is harder to take off and land from that short grass, but if you want to get a nice straight take off try opening the throttle a little slower. Both you guys opened it pretty fast and the torque from the prop takes over turning it to the left like you saw there. I have the tiny eflite grasshopper which is very light and it does the same. I fly off the beach and open the throttle slowly, as soon as the tail comes up and the tailwheel can no longer keep the plane straight from its grip on the runway it swings badly, but with a little practice you get the hang of catching it with the rudder. Its good to practice being able to run along the ground with the tail up keeping the model straight with the rudder. Rudder is your friend with high wing models, and important to use in take off and landing, but its usually the last control people get the hang of! Best of luck and happy landings.
avipatable All makes sense, but this model isn't that simple. Unlike other tail draggers, as soon as the tail lifts up it likes to bounce and spin out. Even with great rudder control, it just doesn't have enough authority at lower speeds. This is why it's throttled up faster than most other RCs. Perhaps toeing in the wheels, a more efficient prop, or dampening the springy landing gear could smooth it out. RCGirl can fly the timber and other planes, tail up, perfectly straight. This tells me it's more likely the airplane than the skill of everyone who has tried it. Good thing it's a STOL plane so she can get away with short takeoffs. ;)
Ah yes, springy landing gear on a hard stony runway won't make things easy. My step dad has the red version of the carbon cub, but I have only flown it from grass. I accidentally toed in the wheels on my little Durafly Spitfire and it rendered the rudder almost completely useless on the ground because as soon as weight is transferred to the "outside" wheel if it starts to turn then as it is toed in it makes it even worse. I now have them very slightly toed out so that if weight goes more to one wheel it tries to go outwards and return the weight to both. Not sure if its the right thing to do, but so far its back as it should be..
@@avipatable Haven't tried it on grass yet. There isn't a lot of grassy areas available to try it, sadly. Typically slightly toeing them in works well to correct small bumps. If it gets off course, one wheel goes straight making it more efficient while the other gets more drag, this brings it back to center. I toe in my float rudders on my big float planes for this reason and this is why surfboards have tow in fins on the outside. It's just a self correcting mechanism. Only issue with toe in or out on wire landing gear, like this cub, is that the landing gear can "spring" making the issue worse. It would be interesting to tie the landing gear ends together with a wire to remove the bounce and try again.
Ah you have to go with what works I guess... seems to be a contested topic elsewhere with people on both sides of the camp! www.rcuniverse.com/forum/questions-answers-154/10865518-main-landing-gear-toe-out-neutral.html
I don't think this was the planes maiden flight since you said someone else flew it and trimmed it out for you. It would be interesting to see and know the reality of the first flight out of the box. What trim was needed where? We're any mechanical adjustments needed?
Mines coming tomorrow im so excited!!!!!
Good comprehensive review, good start for a new year
wanted to see your build video,,, half the fun of the hobby double thumbs up!!!!
There is nothing to build. This is a foamy, no building skills needed.
great channel!, but im still looking for an rc girl. keep up the good work!
You presentation is very good ...
I am in Pakistan and wish to have this as my 1st RC Electric plane
RTF
You are very smart and beauty-full, keep this up!
Funny. I’m the plug it in guy 😂. This one started beeping and the vertical stabilizer started moving 😂. Then I took the wing off and saw the gps unit and said. Uhhh better read.
.. Best wishes for a Happy New Year
..
.. I wish you a big hit this year👍 ..
Thanks!
i just flew mine for the first time.. why use rudder at all in beginner mode. i just turn with the ailerons, as you said, it will mix in rudder on its own
Isn’t that one that can self-take- off and self-land ,I think with GPS it has a geo- fence
Yes it has self-take- off, self-land, and GPS it has a geofence with 3 flight patterns, also dual rates.
PS and an oh crap switch.
@john harris Hi John, yes this would make a good 1st plane it's just the set up each time at the field with GPS I found it is so easy to get it wrong a lot of steps and you don't know you have set it wrong. The landing and take-off is spot on just apply right rudder on take-off to offset the torque of the motor which you can see in this video. I hope this helps
Damn that was a great landing! Nice Job!
Wow, You are EVERY male R/C pilot's dream. A woman/wife that's into R/C aircraft as well as her husband. Someone is a lucky guy. Wife to husband, "Honey there is this new E-flite T-6 that I really want for my birthday". Husband, "You just bought a new plane last week, you don't need another. That's just the cost of the kit, your gonna need another $600 for the engine and servos". Ha Ha The thought of the role reversal is killing me. Kidding aside, it's refreshing to see a woman interested in our hobby. Really cool!!!!
Haha yeah you should see my house....I have a spare room just for Rc stuff lol
Another excellent review.. thanks 👍😊.
Nice plane, .. well flown. 👍
Seems to have plenty power the carbon cub.
Having never flown a plane, maybe the mini apprentice might be a better option for me. I’d imagine it’ll seem weird after being used to the controls for helicopters & quads lol. Always fancied having a go though, best be prepared to dive for cover !.
Yeah for a first plane I'd go with the mini apprentice. Maybe this as a second plane.
It would be great to compare this to some of the other RC taildraggers out there for beginners and intermediates. Thanks for reviewing.
I bought the plane and it's fantastic
im 12 and when my dad let me fly his sport cub s2 i got it in the second day. idk how, but i've been flying for 3 months now and im doing side spins, spindles, knifing, and all sorts of things with it.
Yess, planes :) and happy new year too you aswell rc(plane)girl ;))
-Justflyit74 - Google downstairs
I have that plane. It was very easy to build and has lits of power and is fun to fly
I have sealed my Carbon Cub with Foam Amour. That helps a lot to keep the surface clean and prevents little damages.
You fly good i get nervous to i only been flying for one summer, i wish i lived somewhere i could fly all year around but now i am on hold for winter
I think a bit of masking tape in the obvious places ahead of time would prevent some of that road rash.
Its a lovely plane. However, I disagree with you about turning off the GPS for a learner or novice pilot. The geo-fencing is an important safety option. Having had a fly-away myself I leave the geo-fencing on maximum which allows me a large area to fly in while ensuring that if I do get too far away I can't lose the plane. I haven't found issues with take off and landing, but I have not activated the flaps as I only have the DX6 transmitter. Altogether a lovely, easy plane to fly and apart from the complexity of the initial programming, an ideal second plane (though my fifth plane lol).
There have been some instances where you turn on auto land and the plane will dart off to a previous field that it landed at . lol So turning things off is a good thing
joshua logan that assumes you you are lazy enough to use auto land lol. I prefer to exercise my own (lack of) talent at piloting :)
@@FalconWing1813 Auto land should not do that, unless you do not allow it to lock onto the GPS location before flying. I have many quads that have this feature, in the early days fly-off was attributing to a lack of knowledge and being impatient.
Absolutely agree, leave geo fence on.
Auto land works most of the time, just be ready to take over if it is not lining up 2 land where it should.
Happy New Year great review of the plane...just noticed you have your own Tees now great job on your channel and to continued success in 2019 💥 💥
Thanks! Yeah I got a few shirts printed for the AMA expo 😀
Where is that RC park located? Looks like it combines a flying field with ground RC crawling.
Beautiful Landing! Enjoy your channel with the mix of ground and air content.
Thanks! Yeah it seems most folks are either into planes or into surface rigs. I like both!
Supposedly if you run the newest firmware and an ar630 reciever you can run flaps because it has an auxiliary channel and technically is 7 not y channels and you can use a dx or ñx6
The rtf transmitter can be used for the flaps too...nice flying
I noticed a DX6 on the table while you were showing the plane, but you actually flew with a DX9 so you could use the flaps. I can’t find anywhere, a good set of instructions or a video on setting up, binding and flying with a DX8 or 9. Any chance you could put something together?
I have one of these and I can't say I would buy it again the biggest issue I have with it is it does not stay bound to a transmitter I have to bind it every time I fly which is a tad annoying
Just got one of these and for some reason, it won’t bind to my DX9. It starts to bind then just flashes blue rapidly. Had to bind it to the aero scout transmitter.
thanks for the review maybe I will start with the rf9 simulator and the mini Apprentice for a starter.
Nice job I am proud of you, put the wheels away, grab the wings .. nice job..
Congrats on your fourth plane pilot...... Happy flying days are here babe...
Very nice video. Do you know how large the fence is while having the GPS on?
I like that 👍😀 I have the old version the Sport Cub with no safe but I think it’s really cool 😎 Happy New Year from Italy 🇮🇹
It´s A lovely plane. Excellent flight, congratulations
Great flight review..thanks for sharing..Enjoy your flights
Cubs are such fun to fly in RL, and you get that fighter pilot feel cuz of the stick control :)
What a real honest and nicely graduated review.
Happy new year!
Very good Video
Super landing
Best wishes from germany!
Thanks, happy new year to you too!
Wow,great to see girls in such hobby.Nice video.
Can't you use 6 Channels and flaps , if you don't use the GPS?
1 of the most beautiful planes ever, great post
Anything under 50 feet it is automatically in beginner mode if you are in intermediate mode. Advanced does not change. Page 14
I love it when she says, "Wheee!!!" :)
haha me too
No Cubs in my hanger, this bird might just change that... beauty eh.🇨🇦
GPS costs extra and everyone either doesn't use it or said it made them crash. They either need to fix it or get rid of the feature all together.
Awesome plane. Looks great, and fantastic flying. Well done :)
Your ‘’ weeeeeeeeeeeee’’ is so inspirational unless for a real fan amateur of Rc planes but someone totally clicking here randomly belived me it looks like you really trying hard here to make it look like fun 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Happy new year. Nice plane. Soon it will be summer again, time to loose the shoes 😶
Hi RC Gal
You gave me the thumbs up on the comments I made on the carbon cub.its been a while since then and have done loads of mods.
Landing gear
IVE TAKEN THE LANDING GEAR FROM A AEROSCOUT AND USED THE ORIGINAL WIRE LANDING GEAR AS A SPRING SUSPENSION
NOSE
THIS IS A MASSIVE WEAK POINT FOR BREAKING I'VE FILLED THE NOSE WITH EXPANDING FOAM AND ITS NOW SUPPER STRONG
BODY
I'VE ADDED CARBON FIBER RODS TO THE UNDERSIDE TO GIVE IT STRENGTH
The reason it turns hard left is because of torque steer. If you ease into the throttle while applying rudder as you throttle up you'll maintain a straight take-off. Don't worry, this also happens on normal General aviatio. Planes like the J-3 cub or the Piper PA-18 Super Cub.
Also, on landing, your flaps should be fully applied and you should maintain enough throttle to stay in the air while you hover the runway. Once you are hovering, slowly decrease power and tge plane will kiss the ground gently instead of bouncing.
I love how nervous you get when taking off on maiden flights. Been flying for years and every maiden flight, my heart is pounding out of my chest!
コルセアより、飛ばしやすいですね。素晴らしい🎉
This is my first plane it is hard to set up with GPS and g/o fencing I did it wrong on my maiden hit return to home and stuffed it 85 foot up a tree. There was a bit of damage and I burnt the motor out got it down 4 hours later. I find it takes off and lands perfectly on grass also when used the autoland is perfect, there is a high and low rate switch which you did not mention. Keep up the good work I enjoy your videos.
That's what I was worried about! And good point about dual rates. I forgot about those 😏
Wow, sorry to hear. Glad you got your plane back
That plane is made for off road. Take a few steps and use the grass for take off and landing. The tires want to bounce and your landing it on a hard surface. Please do it, the plane deserves a second chance.
Not only are the directions wrong with regard to those screws, they are also wrong on the installation of the GPS. The cub manual says there is a “pocket” with a “lid” and there is not. There is a place you can sit the GPS module on top of the receiver, but nothing to secure it in place, so I guess you have to tape it. In order to find the GPS plug in the receiver you have to wrench the receiver out of the plane cause its mounted with double sided tape, not velcro or a strap. Forget trying to reach technical support. They claim on the website to have a phone support but... no number to call anywhere. If you try to chat, you’ll never get through, but you will get told to try again later after waiting for 15 minutes. If you want to email support you cannot because they don’t have an email address. They do have a form but it is limited in characters to very few so there is not enough space to explain what your problem is. There is no manual either at Horizon or Spektrum for either the GPS module or the receiver. I did buy this model, GPS and a transmitter but I’ll never buy from them again. With ZERO customer support, incorrect manuals and no online support, no TH-cam videos this company has no respect for customers. Just the worst post sale support and documentation I’ve every experienced. It’s truly a fraud to accept people’s money and then provide inaccurate documentation, no documentation and no access to support.
Happy new year to you rc girl nice cub I have the parkzone sport cub s2 love flying that model easy to transport to get a quick flight in or two take a look have some videos go to my play lists and look for cub's 👍
I'm on the fence between this and the new Timber with Safe tech. What would you recommend for a beginner? Btw...I sim the heck out of the Timber on RF8 and so far feel comfortable on the sim!
hi,thanks for the video. We have an issue,we burned uo the motor,tried to replace it and that one burned up. Any ideas ?
What batteries are you running in it?
I enjoyed this review. Ur good at it!
I am getting into the hobby and have been looking at this plane for a while, but would you suggest that I go for the Mini Apprentice S first?
