Maiden flight!
Ive had the smaller electric version, now they came out with the bigger gas / ep version! 2400mm (94.5") Navy Cub!
On mine, I put a 20cc RCGF gas motor, factory muffler, all HK servos, extensions, the fancy electronic failsafe switches and LIFE batteries. The build was pretty easy, had no surprises, and all up RTF it weighs for me 14lbs 12oz on my scale with a little fuel in the gas tank (forgot to weigh it before flying).
Flying, flies light, big wing, light weight, plenty of power! Loops, rolls, stall turns, all with ease.. Touch and goes, tight patterns, no problem. Video coming very soon! Got 3 flights on it tonight, maiden included, very happy with it. The RCGF20 started easily, ran great (still a little rich, it has zero time on it!), and sips fuel! With a 6-7min flight, it still has almost 3/4 of a tank of gas left. What a great combo! Flying with Spektrum DSM2 12x guidance.
Large scale aircraft are a pleasure to fly and this beautiful replica of a 2400mm Piper NE-1 Navy Cub is no exception. It has the same stunning looks as the smaller H-King J3 Navy Cub (NE-1) but on a much larger scale and is just as easy to fly. The Cub is made of balsa and plywood with a realistic Navy Blue printed covering.
Thanks to GBLynden for shooting video!
The US Navy acquired 230 of the NE-1 version during World War II to use as a primary trainer. It was a dual flight control version with the instructor up front and the student sitting in the rear seat. Like all Cubs, it is a very stable flier making it ideal for training.
Being an ARF there is a bit of building to be done but most components are already assembled. You need to fit your choice of engine, either gas/nitro or electric. Fit the tail surfaces and undercarriage then the plug-in wings (ideal for transportation). Then add all the additional electronics (your choice) like servos, receiver/radio and you will be ready to go.
The plane comes with a cowl complete with dummy engine and full instrument panel. There is a huge door to the cockpit for easy installation of batteries and R/C electronics plus a set of pilot seats. Outside is a functional bungee style undercarriage with large wheels for easy takeoffs and landing on grass fields.
This plane is an Icon of the Era and is ideal for all pilots that like that scale look and great presence in the air.

• A faithfully reproduced authentic scale model of the famous Piper NE-1 Navy Cub

Great bird my friend. Captain Blaž wants this baby very much. I think I will have to click the order button again. So you are the lucky guy this time ;-) Thanks for posting and big salute from Slovenia, Pilot Robert
Ohhh-Yeaaah Baby-eh, I Now Seez A Pair Of 100mm EDF Units Under Dhat Firm Wing, Either Side Of Her Big SEXY Smurffy Colored Body-eh... LOL th-cam.com/video/WaKM4LXXDOM/w-d-xo.html
Robert Petrinčič I bet he does and it is pretty sweet! 😀
Captain Blaz deserves this bird 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Take Off was my favorite, Ever. Great stuff, John and Thanks GB!!
Beautiful plane John, thanks for sharin👊🏼👊🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Really nice man. These are so nice . 👍
Perfect landing man good job
Thank you George!
If I had a place to fly gas I would have got this instead of the carbon cub, it looks amazing the paint job is just awesome you're lucky! Greased that landing, congratulations on the new bird.
More please!
Rob
Farmer Fpv Stay tuned my friend 😀
@@GBLynden for sure, love this Cub🤘
Perfect landing 👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
I'm not a petrol fan but dang that was beautiful in the air. Well done. Jim
This thing is awesome!
Nice job
Nice looking plane! Good check out flight. Uber smooth landing.....can I buy one ;-) See you in the Air!
Great landing! "Nailed it"
Alpha MRC It humbles me every time John and I go out flying. He nails damn near every landing lol
+Alpha MRC thank you!
Hey John....cool plane...saw this one on HK a couple of days ago and was curious how it looked in the air. Great job flying as always. I personally am less interested in gas and would love to set one of these up with electric, but that's just my preference. Very cool though.
Wow, John. Very nice.
Thanks!
Just beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
very fast plane
I have a slightly larger version, just large enough to get two hands in for installation work. I bought it second-hand so threw away the gas engine and converted it to electric. It sounds a lot better and flies better too, so don't hesitate to move forward. 8s5000 works fine and gives a longer flight time than with the previous set-up, and I can swing a bigger prop for decent STOL performance. Mine is covered with silk and dope, so probably weighs a bit more, unfortunately, so its never going to thermal soar, but at least its easier to handle without damage to the covering. I imagine that the cost of all the materials would come to well under $75, so a competent model builder could make one in a couple of weeks of lock-down. Ever onwards!!!
PS As engine cowls are the most tricky part to build, have a look on ThingIverse, there are lots of 3D printable cowls that can be scaled to fit. Pilots, servo mounts, and other odds and ends too.
Nice looking Fun Scale Cub. Looks like it flies nice, but it does look a little heavy for it's size. Do you remember the ready to fly weight?
lindo vuelo amigo
Nice flight John. Looks like she flys pretty sweet. Does it feel different than a foamie. Looks just like my No navy cub
😎👍
+RECKEM ROYS RC oh yes. It flies like a big plane.
NICE!
Holly Crap Batman... That Thing Is Frickin Hugh-eh! Said In My Best Fat Bastard Imitational Voice... HaHaHaHa
lol nice!
Nice flying per normal John!
Thanks buddy! Hope your doing well!
JohnVHRC you too! I just be hangin
KenH300 right on. Great to hear from you.
That engine sounded good, not like a lot of the "weed wacker" sounding engines.
It has some of that low and mid range tumbling noise which makes it sound bad.
hi guys
the package is mention that the kit weights 12 kg is this true?looks to much to me
I dont remember the weight, but it flies floaty, and is light on the sticks.
Where is this flying site located ?
NW Wa.
I can do that blind folded....well not again AMA took my card away.
