I have one of these with a .71 nitro 4 stroke it’s almost too powerful for it. I think I’m gonna convert to electric. When I was into rc cars I had a fast charger that I could hook up to my car, bring a few batteries and run all day.
This brought back good memories. I built and flew this model about 1985. It's still hanging in my garage. Where are you flying? Looks like a great site.
@@robertmaxwell8086 This was my first RC plane when I started flying in the 90's. I've gone through 3 or 4 engines on this cub. I don't remember issues each engine had. For your engine, if it's an older engine, you might see if you can take it about to inspect the rod. Maybe you can tell if it's worn or tell if there are cracks forming. If not an older engine, fly it!
Thanks for sharing, nice cub and nice flying site, i wonder what kind of cub you have that doesnt have a wing bar that connects to fuselage, i would like to have one
I have the same plane. It's ancient and one of sweetest little planes I've ever had. Originally had an OS pre surpass 61 four stroke. then a Saito 56 but the Saito broke the con rod so now I've got a Thunder Tiger Pro 46 two stroke in it. I like the Thunder Tiger ... it's staying.
I've had this plane since the mid 90s. This is probably the fourth motor on it. I think I started with a 61 which was way over powered. The 46 is just about right for it.
Love this video! Have the same cub.

A guy I fly with pretty much is all electric.
Love this! Go Bengals🏈
I hope they have a season that the guy predicted

Everyone needs a Cub. We fly at a dry lakebed in Joshua Tree Ca.
You mentioned your Saito Mtr failed, Did you repair it? I have a new one,should I repair it Defects before running it?
It's been so long I don't think I repaired it.
@@Glenn1962you stated a connecting Rod Failed. I hate to run mine and have it fail! Any ideas?

JUST WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT????
Not sure what you're meaning but was pointing out that I was the only one at the RC field so far and just nothing in particular.

Thanks. It has wing struts but the clip broke and I just never fixed them. They are mainly for looks and offer no real support to the wing
@@Glenn1962 oic thanks for the info
How far do,you have to Drive to Fly in that Remote Desert?
From my house it's 16 miles or so. The field is a mile from the paved road so its not a too bad of a drive
What State are you in.
Did you repair the Saito mtr
I have a New 56 Goldknight ,should I replace connecting rod ?

OS 46
@@Glenn1962 Is your landing gear real stiff or is it just mine.
@@Jesusistheonlyway86 might have a little give in it but for the most part it's stiff
