I've revisited this video and it reminded me how much I enjoy your reviews of the larger hobby grade planes vs the toy grade. The hobby grade planes showcase your piloting skills. Great job Brian.
You will want to stop in tomorrow AM around 10AM ;) It's long but distinguished...please, you will get my joke tomorrow ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC You were right on time!!! Great video!!! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Great flying. Low altitude flying on the calm day was impressive, but handling the wind was awesome. Thanks Brian.
Love the videos! Please keep them coming. I really enjoy the details and suggestions you include in the videos.
Thanks, will do! More coming!!!
Wow I really enjoyed watching your flight times with the cub.
Great commentary! great video!
Thank you Mark! I LOVE This plane! Gotta be one of my favorites, and I have a lot of favorites!!! :)
Brian you are an awesome pilot and we appreciate your reviews and advice
Thanks Toby! I'm glad to be a part of this awesome community! I wish I had a bit more free time, now-a-days, so I could share a bit more, and more often, but this will happen again when we get a feet under us. Still getting settled in our new house, and still don't have a shop setup. When that's done, I feel like I'll be back to where I left things at the old house.
As always great flight & video Brian & wife.
So great to see you flying at your new home & not on the street.
FantAstic info
I'm glad too ;) So much more free!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed that buddy. Wow- what a plane. Gorgeous! Your an awesome pilot. Look forward too much more. Thanks ✈️😊👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Love that plane, can't spend that much money yet some day. Great video thanks to your camera crew thank her for me. Great place to fly also.
Mike and Dee - This plane is worth the money, but it is a lot of money - totally get it ;) I hope that you'll find a great deal some day, because this plane is a real joy to fly!!!
Your the R/C plane whisperer! Cant believe that thing took off within 12 inches! Incredible flying and I love those Cubs!
Thanks, but this plane, in the right wind can take off with reverse ground speed ;) Just did it this weekend!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Incredible! Only YOU could do that!
Nice flying, thanks for sharing
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!!!
This is THE most satisfying RC video I've watched in my life. I have the Carbon Cub S+ as one of my first planes and will train some more months with it to get ready for this beautiful Carbon Z Cub SS. The sound, the versatility, the look - awesome.
Great flying skills shown here Brian, amazing work from camera-crew, too! Hope Horizon Hobby rewards you for that.
And since I am from Germany I need to mention the unboxing video and that "DE" in the manual doesn't mean Dutch (Netherland's language), but "DEeutsch", German. Calling a German "Dutch" is like I'd refer to Americans as Canadians :)
So glad you enjoyed the video!!! There's literally thousands more where that came from, if you've got the time :)
Sorry for my misunderstanding, regarding the languages, Peter :)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Of course I already watched a bunch of your other videos whenever I have the time. Big smile when I watched your "Spektrum Smart Charger" video after you said that you didn't buy that stuff for a second :))) I have the S2100 charger, am very happy with it and happy too that I can focus on other things than battery science.
Awesome plane! So realistic. Great video!
Thanks Jeff! Did my co-worker (Max) call you up?
Hi Brian thank you for the video excellent flying... also thank you for the helpful information on prop balancing very useful....best wishes Chris
Thanks Chris! I was a bit embarrassed that the tape blew off the prop (twice!!!) but this is what happens in "Real life" so best you know what to expect, if you're learning how to do it ;)
Great video! I can’t wait to pick this one up!
It is a wonderful plane. Much better value than the EC1500 that I recently reviewed. It's a JOY to fly, and beautiful too! What a great plane!
Only issues are very minor, and easy to forgive, given the plane IS still foam.
Thanks for watching!
I about pooped my pants watching you fly this. Man, you’re a talented pilot! I can’t wait to fly mine!
Thanks! You'll love it, it's a GREAT plane!!!
Great video as always Brian, thanks for sharing👍🏼👍🏼
You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by Jeff!
Super great video . Awesome ! Thank you , I also learned a lot from you making this video . Great flying skill.
I'm so glad you did! That's what we hope to do with much of our effort here - get more people into flying, and help guide them into GOOD models ;)
Mrs. Phillips, you are the most wonderful woman on Earth! You are also without question the best RC videographer ever! Your skills are so amazing and you are so very smooth with zooming, panning, framing, tracking and everything! You also never whimper once about planes crossing overhead and you track every motion with champion skills!!! You do so well that those of us watching simply forget someone is filming! It is so true! Viewing for us is better and easier than being there in person! Thank you for the amazing work you do so that we can enjoy Brian's knowledge and skills. You are truly a very magnificent lady. Brian, you are so very fortunate to have her support. Please find something she truly loves and reward her. You two have a great channel! Thank you so very much! I learn so much and truly enjoy...
So many kind words! Thank you for sharing these comments. Megan appreciates them ;) I'll take your advice about the nice thing to do ;)
I like the way you air it out
Thanks Jason!
I’ve never seen such a good and confident pilot!
Thanks! I don't credit myself as such, but I appreciate our kind words!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Ahahahahhahaa!
Suk on it Brian, You kick freckle Mate.
100 bazillion wannabees prove it Freak.
Not forgetting the camera doll, Oh Yeah!
I fly in my front yard as well.. I just came in the house from flying my son's HK Tundra.. How wonderful! It's a little slice of heaven!
Totally agree! I know I wouldn't be in the hobby if I HAD to fly at a club. I don't think I would have survived the travel time...but not everyone is going to be so lucky.
Great flying 👍🏻
Thanks Nick!!! This plane is such a GREAT flying plane. You gotta get one!
Nice flying, you're way better and braver than I am!
This plane is an amazing flying plane!
Great flyer I may pick this up soon...thanks for the video!
For sure. You should definitely get one! If you do, think out buying it here ( Carbon-Z Cub SS 2.1m BNF - bit.ly/2RyYsid ), to help out our channel!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC - FYI the link doesn't work anymore (I get it's 9 months old). I'm still thinking about getting one of these myself.
Nice video and great flying area that you have there.
Agreed, and thanks!!!
I love your video's. Great flying...
Thanks! Glad you do!!!
Wow you guys are addicting to watch!!! Dude your like a great speaker, keeping people listening. I love your videos
Thank you! We're glad to hear you're hooked; Thousands more where that came from, better get started - LOL ;)
You're killing me! I've looked at this under serious consideration and have been looking at the Flex Mamba 10. Your video has me seriously wanting this one
You will not regret this plane, but it is kinda expensive...still a good value, if you ask me.
Is it too much to ask for BOTH??? LOL - I know your pain.
yo ...Brian your flying skills are amazing !!! watch all your vids, totally immersed ...and Megan you make the video experience with your camera work .....perfection !!! we so need to see the camera crew in some of these vids !!!
Here's a video, if you want to see the "camera crew" - th-cam.com/video/pNAWQNRvImI/w-d-xo.html
@@BrianPhillipsRC ...nice one Brian...nice to put a face to her excellent camera work !!! (and i get more vids to catch up on ...lol)
For sure! If you watch them all, you'll be about 10 years older :) LOL
Really good follow with the camera ... she knows how to capture video so it looks great!
I know! She's very good! I hate when I see a Horizon Hobby video using some of the best quality gear, and they can't keep the plane in frame....we use cell phones - LOL ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC I can fly almost as good as you on my RF9 "Lost Vegas Wacky" server … I'm hoping to build a little camera platform to keep an airplane centered with the camera soon. Still waiting for parts. Then I'll try my Sport Cub S in a local parking lot. R2Pv1.com is my robot hobby site … www.brainless.org/MultiMedia/RC/Video/Capt.Kill4Fun/ that's me learning how to fly back in 2004/2005 … I miss my SIG Kadet Senior ARF.
Very cool flying! I love mine too.
Thanks! I love this plane!
Very cool, thank you Brian
You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by again!
Just love your work! Verry nice!
Thanks Daniel!
An amazing plane. Maybe someday I will fly like that.
Pozdrawiam
You can do it!!!
I have 2 e flite batteries to use for winches on trail trucks. One puffed before I ever used it. Excellent video by the way 👌🏼
Thanks! Sorry to hear the battery puffed - hate when that happens!!!
great plane brother. you are really really a great pilot for real bud
Thanks Tim! I've been flying for about 5 years, and still have a LOT to learn, but with practice, anyone can do it!!!
Awsome, Z-Cub nice size, great flying looks like fun, i think i like light wing loading on this one, and i like your new place, im still flying old school glow planes, almost done with my four star 40 with the 46 fx, i want to learn more about electric to add tower hobbie 60 arf, happy flying
Have you flown any electric planes?
This is my first time seeing you fly and man you are a complete show off the property, back drop, small plane run way. "Maybe a real run way soon." You get on my nerves man I love it! Lmbo I can't fly no where near my house because of Andrews air force base.( No fly zone ). Keep the videos coming
At least you get to watch the awesome planes flying from the AFB!!! BUT that would suck with the no flight zone. How bad would that suck if they built an airport right next to my house - LOL - this is part of the reason I want to make a full scale runway ;) Get it established now, then muddy the waters for the FAA. If it's "my" private runway, then I guess I will be in full compliance - I HOPE!!!
P.S. I'm glad I could be of some annoyance to you ;) JK Keep coming back for more!
I can't decide between this one and the Timber X for my next plane. I already have the Timber Turbo and ParkZone Carbon Cub, but this one is so damn beautiful! The way it slows down is mesmerizing. And the size is very inviting for those gusty days
This plane will fly in horrific conditions, but it's kinda HUGE, so even walking out of our house, with 8 foot front door is a bit of a chore - LOL!!!
BRO you are an excellent pilot!!
Thanks! I love flying, and do quite a bit of it, but still learn something new every time I fly!
Nice flying Brian, and lots of good suggestions. So, you want a carbon cub and your own runway. Go for it. A Citabria is a less expensive entry. I had one. About 40K. My runway is 900ft and its one way in and out. One side uphill and tall trees, the other, open water. You can set up a nice approach but once you are below tree level there is no going around. Never been a problem though. And man, it is so much fun to walk out the back door and jump in an airplane. I had a friend who used to do high alpha takeoffs just like you did with that cub, but with a full sized 172. Sadly, his antics eventually ended badly. When you get your full sized airplane put on a different hat. :). Looking forward to your Draco review. I have one on order.
That is AWESOME, and you've made me super jealous!!!
I want to buy out my neighbor to the South, and use the crest of our knolls back there for a runway...that's why we do GRASS hay, and not alfalfa (tangling the wheels up would make for a bad day, I suspect).
Some day, you should EMAIL me, so we can share more specifics that might not be appropriate in this public arena. We have it listed on the ABOUT part of the channel...and we are slow with checking it, it's kind of a good Spam catcher - LOL ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC I mowed mine lawn smooth, always. Believe it or not but a grass stain on a prop is considered a prop strike, and a prop strike (FAA rule) requires the engine be torn down and inspected. I doubt anyone does, but if you got ramp checked with grass stains on the prop you’d have to. So, the runway at least has to be mowed short. Doesn’t matter what grows to either side. I cultivated some nice tough poverty grass and goldenrod beside mine!
Hi Brian. Great video and nice flying. This plane flies so nice and look's so nice in the air. Ive been using an E Flite 4400 6s 30c. I flew the other day for ten minute's and still had 60 percent left on it. This is an amazing plane. Thanks for your videos they are a big help.
Glad they're helping you out! We really appreciate you stopping by! The 4400mAh 6S from Eflite, out of curiosity...does it puff on you (yet)?
@@BrianPhillipsRC No puffing yet. I have four of them just for my Carbin Z cub, But Ive only had it about two months.I only bought the E Flite because thats all they had at the Hobby shop where I bought my plane at. But Im going to look into those zop battery's
Jeeeeeze - Four of them!!! That's a lot of cash! If you don't store your Lipos charged, you'll have a lot better chance at success. I do store my lipos charged...which is a bit of a "no no"
A++ on the quality of video, great job, I have to give credit to your wife, most videos are hard to watch due to poor video quality. Excellent flying skills also, close to house, trees, power lines.
Thanks Mike! Megan, my wife and "camera crew" does a good job filming, and this plane is excellent!
I like the way you fly.
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy it!!!
Nice review of both plane and battery's. You flying was great! Love. the tight low turns. Makes me think I need this airplane! lol
If you think you do, you DEFINITELY do need it!!!! This plane is great, but it IS big.
Good luck with your decision ;)
this one i like Brian...I just picked up a new arrow bigfoot.waiting on some better weather.
Have fun!
Your neighbors probably think there is a crop duster around.. you took some chances, but that's what makes you get better, it would be kind of boreing otherwise.. that plane needs lights! Good video, looking forward to thd next video.. HOrizon should send you planes to review!
I totally agree about the lights!!! Daylight "savings" stupidity is about to go into force, so we'll have to come home from work to a pittance of daylight - PUKE - thus nav lights and landing lights are going to be a thing very soon. Maybe if my other filming obligations pan out the way I expect, I can work that mod video into my docket in the next few weeks. I'm also trying to buy a tractor right now, and we've been working out tails off on getting the woods cleaned up before horrible weather sets in, but that could actually wait....
As for Horizon Hobby sending me planes - yes please!!! I've kinda been asking for a couple years now, but they don't seem to even understand how many times I've sold stuff for them. I'd be nice, even if they'd give me a blanket discount at least, but I guess they know me well enough to know I'm gonna buy it anyway, so why offer it to me for free or at a discount (I don't know, maybe so I wouldn't have time to review Banggood stuff???? - Just saying - LOL)
Hi, yea i work on real planes for a living, ive ben in the airplane detail and sales hanger for 4 years now. So i work on some of the cirrus and ttx and bananza’s,its cool to have your job as your hobbie as well,👍
Very cool! Neat to be around it all the time. Aviation is kind of a club...when you're in, you're in... I've met a few people that I would have NEVER met becasue of the exposure from this channel, and it's pretty cool to have "friends in high places" :)
Hope you get the pun
Wow, you were making me nervous, nice save, wow!
Yeah I’ve noticed Brian is a very good pilot
Thanks vizak20 ;)
Ty - yeah, at about 14:30 or so, there was a "moment", but other than that, she's a great flying, and fairly forgiving aircraft...when you get ready to land, the plane seems to reject any notion of ground effect - LOL - which is why you see me smacking it to the ground so many times. It's very finite, the stall speed, there's NO warning...it just falls!
Hi
I was just about to say that
Purchased this based off your review and flights, being new to the hobby I must say what a great plane! Absolutely fun to fly and feels easier to fly then my "trainer 40".
That's GREAT!!! This plane is such an amazing one too! Glad you decided to take the plunge with it!!!
may i ask what receiver you went with?
Thanks Brian.
you're welcome!
Very cool video bud.
You're a good pilot and a confident one, so much so that you can fly in close to the camera providing great footage. By the way, your lady does an excellent job with the camera.
Thanks so much for saying that! My wife, Megan, does a great job filming. We didn't realize what a knack she has for filming until we started this little TH-cam "experiment". We're lucky to have her helping us out!
As for staying close...I try, and it does somewhat limit what I can do (for a video audience), but it's totally my "style" to fly in close quarters. I LOVE having the limitations, but there's times it's nice to have a bit more room, or when flying with a smaller aircraft, it's REALLY easy to shoot a landing, compared to this behemoth!
Thanks for watching, and for the kind words!
Hi
Sorry about my grammer sometimes,I got pulled off my my planes to build a huge kitchen island job acomplished i think she will be happy back to my planes now, thanks angain brian ivalways watch out for your flying videos .👍
Thanks David! I don't mind typos, as long as I can get the point :)
Such beautiful beautiful beautiful flying ....... ☆☆☆☆☆
Thanks!!! :)
Your welcome, i still really like your blue and white sr22 i thought if i buy a electric it would be that one. Sharp.
It is a great plane, for sure!
Back again, watching you fly it reminds me so much like my Timbers, but a little more in the cost. I think I would might get one. They are fun to fly. In your opinion which battery is better. I think they were about the same as far as balance goes.
Danny
yes, they seem to be about the same, but the ZOP packs seem to fly longer...partially, because it was NEW and the Turnigy is not brand new (2 seasons old??? - sorry, I'm not 100% sure on that)...BUT my Turnigy packs do tend to puff pretty bad, since I'm not very nice to the packs always.
You might be pleasantly surprised how inexpensive these ZOP lipos are, but they're only a small savings over Turnigy...or Zippy...except I LOVE XT60's, and I can get them stock with ZOP. This is a big time saver for me. Soldering on different ends is a real pain in the neck on lipos, especially BIGGER ones ;)
I was sweating bullets that you were going to crash just after the High Alpha skillful save
I think we call that a "butt clincher"...not a "skillfull save".... Thanks for the kind words though ;)
Looking forward to the video of your lipo fire...
I'll make sure to publish it for you.
Brian, not really a flying question - but as we get out of another lock-down here in the UK I want to tidy up my cub. The orange paint seems poorly applied and the aircraft needs a little TLC with the paint coming off at the edges of certain areas. Do you know what kind of paint I should get - ideally the correct orange of course, but what type of paint too? BTW - very much looking forward to your Draco review - I assume you are already flying it as you wait for being able to review it.
I don't know the color, but I would say pick the closest orange and plan to paint whole sections ;( I HATE having to touch up hangar rash...since there's always that flaky stuff that doesn't stick, and then 95% of it that's totally fine...
I've been told you can take some paint or a single part off the plane and take it into a hardware store and have latex paint matched, almost exactly...but I've never done this myself...so I feel bad recommending it without first had experience ;)
As for the Draco...
We have the Draco now, BUT we aren't allowed to review yet. This is not our choice. We will ABSOLUTELY BE REVIEWING IT ASAP! Please understand, our hands are tied...We can't even publish photos :(....
All I can say, is if you decide to buy anything from us in the mean time, just follow the "Master Link"...and you can navigate to whatever you decide you can't live without, or any of the other links below too.

Love one... You think worth the money... Deano
YES, but it IS a lot of money. I feel like the only feature that really ought to be included would be nav lights.
I am a new Pilot, and crashed my Plane. now i got vibrations. your trick with the Tape helps a lot. very good. Thx
Awesome! Glad to help! When you get a prop with a bit of a BEND, it can also cause some vibration, so check that too...look at the prop from the side and top while it's spinning (CAREFULLY, of course) and then double check the prop isn't "wobbling". Even if you have it balanced, this wobbling will make it seem out of balance. Also, you may need to check the balance of the spinner too, and sometimes the motor! If the prop is all, you'll be good with the tape solution, even though some of the "old timers" will complain it's pretty half-assed...BUTT it works ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC vielen dank für die schnelle und ausfürhliche antwort. ich habe einen kleinen flieger ( A160 J3). die Propeller Halterung ist schon mehrmals gebrochen, also habe ich sie neu gebaut und ausgerichtet. die letzte ausrichtung funktioniert perfekt mit dem klebeband. man kann hören wie sich der ton veränder wenn das klebe band ein paar millimeter weiter links oder rechts geklebt wird. Die "Old timer" interessieren mich nicht :-) wir leben heute, nicht in der Vergangenheit :-) :-)

Thank you for the quick and detailed answer. I have a small plane (A160 J3). the propeller bracket has already broken several times so I rebuilt and realigned it. the last alignment works perfectly with the tape. you can hear how the tone changes when the adhesive tape is stuck a few millimeters further to the left or right. The "old timers" don't interest me :-) we live today, not in the past :-) :-)
thank you very much for your videos
Greetings Francesco
Im impressed, alot of guys are flying elctric planes, at the cub i fly at im im going to have to try one soon, wow 30 mins is impressive,🤟
Just give it a shot, I bet you'll enjoy it!
Hi
It looks a lot like a Citabria. awesome.
The Carbon Z Cub is similar ;)
Revisiting this video reminded me how I used to get anything up to 25 mins flying when I converted my old 35mhz VMAR Viper to brushless and 2200 3s lipo power about 12 years ago. Why is it now that just 7 minutes is good for so many of the e flite planes I have? AS3X? 2.4ghz rx? It feels like we've gone backwards in terms of flight times.
I'm getting about 25+ minutes on my new 7000mAh 6S 30C G2 packs ;) BUT I'm pushing them a lot
Hi Brian, I really enjoy watching your videos. How is the stock motor and esc holding up?
Totally fine, but I have to admit, I only fly her a few times a month, if that. We're super busy with so many products, that she has a pretty easy life....almost a vacation lifestyle ;)
Brian, tell me please, what is the mix flaps with elevator in mm. F.ex. 18 mm flaps - > elevator mm ? Same for 40 mm flaps ---> elevator mm ?
I have the problem with it. There is no info in manual unfortunately.
Thank you for your interesting films.
Best reggards
Peter
I don't know - I don't do that. Set the servo to go all the way down for "Landing" and 30-40% down from center, for "Takeoff". If that isn't enough, adjust from there. Flaps are subjective from one pilot to another anyway.
Thanks Brian for response...I love your videos...do you do training videos..let me know please
We do lots of training, but we don't do many how to fly videos. We try to go into this more with beginner style planes, but in my experience, learning to fly RC is an excersize in repetition and muscle memory for best results FIRST, then mix in flight principles as we progress.
If you want to see more of how we got to where we are, which would be very cringe-worthy for me...but you might get a kick out of it.
Just go to the last video and start working your way forward - 6 or so years of progression ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC wow that’s impressive buddy
Im having problems with mine. Throttle does not kick in before almost halv stick. I need to figure out how to calibrate the esc. But with the AS3X it is impossible
You can calibrate the throttle range super easy.
Generally, you put the throttle stick to 100%, then plug in the plane, but do it SUPER CAREFUL! This plane can chop your fingers off if you're not CAREFUL!!! Secure the plane and keep in a safe position, but best option would be to remove the prop. When the plane FAILS to initiate, you'll hear the songs from the ESC, and then just pull the Throttle stick down to 0%. If that DOESN'T work, call horizon and see what they suggest. Also, make sure the monitor mode shows a nice linear response similar to your stick position through the range.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Naah. I have done this for about 11 years and the 60A eflite esc doesnt calibrate like ordinary esc. And Horizon couldnt help me. But i just adjusted the lower travel in radio and now it is a bit better. Thank you for your time sir.

Great video! I’m looking at the smaller Carbon Cub S+ 1.3. I haven’t flown planes in years but thought this one might be a good one to get back into it. Have you flown this one yet? Thanks
Yes, flies very good, BUT it's a HUGE pain in the butt to get the stupid geo-fencing system to work, and better bring a change of drawers for the first time it totally takes over and you swear you've lost control totally, and then you realize, you just went past the geo-fence. Other than that, it's a GREAT flying and BEAUTIFUL plane. I would have one if HH would offer it as a BNF WITHOUT all the stupid GPS crap. I don't mind the SAFE or SAFE Select for a second, but the GPS+ is a NO-GO for me :)
Brian Phillips Dangit! That’s what I kind of thought about the geo-fence gps thing. I was hoping that you could turn that off or snip some wires once the confidence is gained. It’s such a beautiful plane, I might get it anyway.
You CAN, but it's not an "on/off" switch...you literally have to REMOVE the GPS portion. I haven't done it myself, but many have....sorry I can't tell you exactly, but I've heard about it.
Great plane though, and worthy of some effort. If I didn't have the Carbon Cub SS 2.1m, I'd seriously consider getting one of these 1.1m beauties. My friend Esteban, had the Red and White one, and we flew the wheels off that thing.
Hey Brian I would like to see a comparison between the Carbon Z Cub and the FMS 2000mm Beaver. I like the detail and scale looks of the new version 2 FMS Beaver. Do you plane on getting that one anytime soon and doing a review?
I would too, but I don't have the FMS Beaver.
glad the prop doesn't start when you put battery in!
I'm looking at the Carbon Z Cessna and this plane and I know a bit of 3d and love sport flying. Do you have a recommendation of what plane to buy. Thanks!
When you're comparing the two, your preference between the two will make the determination, HOWEVER, the Cub has LED's (right???) so that might tip the scales for it??? OR Maybe just get the one that's on sale?
I LOVE THIS PLANE, so it's MY vote all day long...for what it's worth!
Hi Brian,
What is your setting ?
Do you set ailerons, elevator, ruder according to manual instruction ? 45 +/- mm aileron, 25+ 15- mm elevator and 25 mm +/- ruder
Do you use the expo ? I do not understand EXPO 10% for each. What does it mean, cause I didn't use expo.
Best regards
I don't set throws per manual. I DO use EXPO. What is your transmitter before I get into the Expo explanation?
Very informative as usual! Have you considered adding some slow-mo on some of those fly-by’s?
I don't generally use slow motion, as I kinda feel it's like cheating...but you can run the playback in slow motion on TH-cam ;)
Lol, wish I had thought of that, duh!
Don't feel bad, it took me forever to figure it out myself :) So many hiding features on TH-cam....many they never really show you how to use, until about the time they're taking away the feature LOL
My aeroscout makes that same loud propeller noise. Instead of adding take would a new prop fix it? I don’t remember it sounding like that until I replaced the fuselage and swapped motor/prop over. I don’t believe prop has any damage being a push prop
Gotta dig in and see if the prop is out of balance, or if you have a magnet thrown in the motor, or some other mechanical binding. Once you find it, you need to resolve it so you don't get into a dangerous condition.
If the servos are making noise, like when you SHIFT the plane in your hand, that's normal...but if the prop / motor makes noise, you need to check it out.
Yo Brian, have you ever seen videos of this custom bush plane that goes by DRACO? It's a PZL-104 Wilga with a turbine in it making it capable of RC plane level flying.
yes, it's awesome, and dead now...he flipped it in a windy takeoff -very sad - but he's working on V2 with like 5 million Hp....I want to be like Mike Patey when I grow up!!!
So you were balancing the prop with the tape but I didn't hear mention of a prop balancer. The prop balancer would eliminate the guess work. Im used to large helis 800mm and the Carbon Z Yak, but my sweetheart got this for me for Christmas. Its still in the box until the 25th. Im dying to fly this.
Yes, I too have a prop balancer, and have used it with mixed results. I would like someone to show me how to do it with a large Heli blade though.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I jist got the Carbon Cub 2.1. Mine definitely didn't fly as good as yours. I could barely get it off the ground. 2 of the 3 flights it stalled left one time and stalled right the other right after getting off the ground. I had to emergency land both times. Any thoughts? I've never used flaps and I was using no as3x or safe. I was just full manual like everything else I've ever done.
You have mad skills. For large heli blades I've always put a steak knife in a vise and placed the blade until it balanced. Marked where that was on both and lined both up. So far the blades I've bought have been balanced great from the factory.
Yea , i think im going to set my tower hobbie sport on electric, ive gotta try it.
Good luck! I think you might enjoy some of the aspects of electric, but I bet you'll hate that it's quite ;)
Brian, thank you for this and the build video. I've flown mine a few times now (learner RC) but I'm finding that the take-off flap setting causes such a pitch-up trim change that to maintain level flight I need about 3/4 forward stick. Clearly something is wrong but have you any ideas?
The video is great with some skilled flying there.
You might have your flap to elevator setting going the wrong way. Check that ASAP! When you have that set right, you will notice virtually NO pitch up or down when flaps are deployed. Please check the part of the video for "RADIO SETUP" and see if your settings agree.
Good luck Tony!!!
That part would be on the FIRST video for the Carbon Z Cub...all my videos are organized BY PLANE....for this one, check the playlists tab, and just search for HORIZON HOBBY CARBON Z CUB SS 2.1m and you'll see it...then see the FIRST video. This will help you navigating my channel for other planes too....you can find out all sorts of information, and if you see something OLD that doesn't answer your question, I get and try to reply to 100% of comments.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks. But in my case I found that after applying more elevator trim it all balanced out so it must just be not enough trim. However, that is clearly at odds with the normal set-up so I'll get it back to basics and start from scratch. I've been having such fun with this Cub and flown about 20 times now. It's my first RC aircraft and so very easy to fly in SAFE. I've been a pilot so know the basics of course but I found your video so helpful. It really does fly so slow and realistically as you make clear in your demos, and those flat turns with rudder at slow speed - so impressive. I am looking forward to slowly exploring what it can do - but maybe it'll be a little while before I can match your skill :). Keep up the great videos Brian.
Nice flying Brian, thinking to buy this plane or the FMS beaver V2? Which one do you recommend?
THIS ONE!!! I haven't got the beaver V2, but this plane is AWESOME!!!!!!
Brian Phillips many thanks Brian !
Hey Brian,since you've flown it a bit what are your final settings? throws,expo and flap differental? Thanks,Rick
It's a great plane! Flies like a champ. As for settings, I've changed nothing. It's just a great flying plane. Still no LED's, which I realize is a bummer for some of my TH-camr followers...but I have been way too busy with everything else.
I love this plane still. I only hate that the inboard portion of the wings is crushing as expected...hollow wings make for a much lighter wing, but much easier to crush a bit when you pick it up. I'd like to see a better design around this type of practical issue, but other than that, it's a total keeper!!!!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks for reply,seems like I need to add more diff to elevater when I drop flaps,this is my first rc with flaps,but man what a super flyer-thanks again for all your great videos,they are very helpful,Rick
My carbon cub SS will be here in a week.... we can’t get the 5000mah 6s batteries in Canada.
Are the 4000mah spectrum 6s batteries good enough?? I saw you used a couple 4000 packs and got decent flight time and seemed like lots of power.
Yes. You can also do TWIN 3S in Series, if you wish.
Hi Brian, Do you think a DX6i would work with this plane? I want to upgrade but getting the plane would be more exciting at this time.
It should, I can't think of a reason it wouldn't.
Brian does the ready to fly in motion rc have like banana t plugs for the lipo battery
There's no such thing as a Ready to Fly of this plane (that I know of...) There IS another, smaller one that Horizon Hobby markets...is that what you're thinking of?
Also, not sure MotionRC is selling it...but not sure why
@@BrianPhillipsRC The battery connector adapter that you highlighted in the beginning. Not in your list either.
Is this a good plane for a beginner as well ? Or should one start with the Carbon Cub S ?
Returning to hobby I used to build balsa planes years ago. Thanks
If you know how to fly, this plane is a great option, but if you're concerned about your skills from years ago, you might think about getting in the smaller options. My impression is that once a pilot, always a pilot...unless you're had to relearn use of your hands from an injury or some such thing...
Carbon Z Cub SS bit.ly/30P5mUA
Carbon Cub S2 bit.ly/3bS2r3O
Both are good choices, but I honestly think you'll BETTER enjoy the Carbon Z Cub SS 2.1m - especially if you still "have it"...you might be frustrated with some of the intricacies of the Carbon Cub S2 1.3m - watch my newer video on the 2.1m SS (it was re-released recently) and also check out my videos on the 1.3m
i was under the impression that any puffyness was bad ... and for it to be that inflated after 4 to 6 uses ? .. would you say you are hard on your batteries? Is there a way to prevent this ? I love the cub .. i have been considering buying one for a couple years now .. you're a crazy guy . love your channel
Puffiness is not good. I have run packs that are puffy from early on, and they run just fine, while others have had horror stories of packs catching fire (I've NEVER had this happen, except when I put a nail through them).
You have to use your best judgment.
Brian did you also fly rc helicopters? I was thinking of getting a E flite carbon z cub 2.1 witch you made a video on. but i heard it was discontinued is that true. and if it is is E flite coming out with a new advance one? I fly goblins like a 570 & 770 but was thinking on getting a plane and found your video of the carbon Z seem to be easy to fly. i have a DX9 and 6s 5000mah lipo's with EC5 connectors so it would be a perfect fit.
The Carbon Z Cub is a HUGE and AWESOME plane. You will love it. Fixed wing is a different experience, but you can do it with a big enough flight field.
The item I linked is discontinued, but they re-PART-NUMBERED any plane they put a new Rx in...so here's what you can do. Follow my link, then just search for the plane again, or follow this NEW link...
Carbon Z Cub SS 2.1m bit.ly/30P5mUA (updated 3/16/2021)
Sorry for the inconvenience. I've asked HH to look into fixing this "bug"...
@@BrianPhillipsRC i guess they up the price $ 20. Last time I saw it for $429. I guess il have to ask a little more for my 570 . Lol. Well thanks for the info. Love your field. Nothing like walking out your front door.
True!
It would be so great if you would make a video showing your top 5 favorite planes.
I have many more than 5 favorites though ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Do you think you could get your hands on a Timber-X? I would subscribe twice over to see you give that an evaluation.
LOL - I would review it except that my RC budget is SUPER blown, and just found out about another $500+ "investment" I'll probably have to be making in the next few days too ;) Keep an eye out, it might trip your trigger!!!
Hi,
I’m just getting into RC planes I’ve only flown RC helis for the last few years.
I’m interested in the UMX Timber or the Sport Cub Or the Aeroscout.
I believe all will work with a Dxe transmitter but wondering what you recommend for a starter and why.
In my inexperience I’m most interested in the aeroscout for its size / speed / agility but also interested in the UMX Timber since I may fly mostly in the evenings and at the park accross the street in somewhat confined space.
Have you / would you review the Aeroscout?
If you can fly (collective pitch) helicopters, you can probably fly a plane pretty easily. The skills are VERY similar....but planes are easier in some ways, and harder in other ways.
I would highly recommend the Sport Cub S UMX, but if you want to skip to my next recommendation, the Timber UMX would be a GREAT option too, but slightly more costly...however, it's WAY more capable and more fun. Both have SAFE, which will help you keep your plane in one piece, as you get used to the slightly different controls.
As you can imagine, flying a plane does require more room, and make sure you cut the throttle to zero when you think you're going to hit the ground....not 100% throttle to avoid a crash, as you may have learned with heli's.
Go for it! You CAN do it, and probably do it already, you just don't know it!
Forgot to answer about the Aeroscout...I don't know. Sorry, I don't have one, so I can't speak to it's capabilities.
Go for the Timber UMX. It's a Great option, and you already have the transmitter to get up and running. You won't be disappointed ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC umx timber. Great recommendation. Have a few myself to. Best flying plane ever
Brian Phillips I think for the evening sessions at the park accross the street the UMX Timber will be awesome. Appreciate your insights on it being much more capable than the Sport Cub. I think I will wait until I’m comfortable with the UMX Timber and later on get the Aeroscout for an FPV setup down the road. I think the DXE transmitter works for both
This just looks like a great and inexpensive FPV setup images.app.goo.gl/bQGhrLq4jcRPxhCT7
Love the videos and they helped when I set up mine. I am pretty bummed at this whole relatively L cheapo foam craze that’s been happening. I would gladly pay $200 more for this identical airplane BNF in balsa.
There is a plane for you here - amzn.to/35T9lRe - slightly bigger at 90" vs the Carbon Z Cub SS 2.1m at 84". I bet you'd be about $700-1000 in it if you [stupidly] use all eFlite's [overpriced and/or under performing] parts - JK, they're nice, but expensive. This is an AWESOME ARF kit. It would also be my "preferred" plane, but we have so much we need at the moment for our new property that this will just have to do ;)
Brian Phillips I’ve looked into that one before. It’s not orange though:( and I like the Square wing tips of the E flight. I should just go big and get the X cub have someone recover it like the elite and clip the wings slightly ha ha. Only what $1800 into it?🤷🏻♂️
Enormous plane, flies very scale!
I love the way it flies!
What charger are you using to charger your bigger batteries like your 6s? I left the hobby awhile ago and have returned. Bought myself this carbon cub but need a good charger for the money!
I just did a video about these! Just upgraded myself!

I love the way this plane looks. Watch those birds. I have a hawk that lives at my flying field that hates my maule M7. Three nights in a row it's try to attack it and I had to land and he follows the plane to the ground! I'm afraid to see what he might do to it with those claws. Lol.. He shows no interest in my air tractor. Weird.
I wonder if the prop makes a different sound???
Maybe show how you can build in navigation light and strobes in this big plane?
I have tons of LED mods on my channel. Here's a couple planes.... Cessna 182 UMX (Check the playlists, and you can watch what you want to see) Aero Commander UMX, Spitfire 1.2m, etc...tons of them, but it's been a while since I did one.
Brian Phillips thanks!!
Could I come and stay with you for a few months for some lessons. Wonderful.
LOL - Not sure we have enough room ;)
Brian I ordered a plane from motion rc it’s a dynam plane type
Cool! MotionRC does a really nice job!
For the charger lipo I meant
I really like this plane only problem is I have a Prius Prime. I have to take the wing off of my Timber X.
Ted, you'll be surprised how this plane will fit in tight spots. You might have to cut the hood of the car off and take out all the seats, but with only minor mods, I guarantee it'll fit ;) LOL
Maybe you could just carry the car with the Carbon Z Cub SS ;)
Brian Phillips done deal. I hope it improves my already awesome gas mileage!
Hey Brian,getting ready to bite the bullet and buy one after your reviews and build.Couple questions,would you suggest minwax spray to help protect the paint?Is spectrum 8 transmitter just like yours except less channels?Looking on amazon they have a pair of Zeee 4000 60c 6s batteries with ec5 connectors for less than $100,any thoughts on those,don't want long wait on bangood for batteries,lol.Thank you Rick W. PS:been flying rc for over 50yrs now on and off
I don't Minwax my planes, since I just want to fly them too much! If you have an especially nice one you want to keep pristine, sure, but generally if it's a foamy, the dings and dents are a regrettable fact of life...
As for the 4000mAh 60C 6S packs with EC5 connectors for less than $100...
Did you mean these... amzn.to/2RToNqq (I think these are the ones you meant)
OR these... amzn.to/30XfYQD ...either look just fine to me :)

how about transmitter,dx 8 2nd gen ?
DX8 gen2 is super similar to my DX18. My only gripe with an 8 channel radio, is that what if you need 9? That's my only 2 cents on the DX8. It's a GREAT transmitter, but if you ever need 9, you will be annoyed. That being said, they're really proud of the DX9 ;)
DX8 - amzn.to/2qAy1xt
DX9 - amzn.to/2CMRKih
iX12 - amzn.to/2tmFMsE - I love my DX18, but I've never needed over 10 channels, so far....but wow, it's expensive!!!
Alternative choice below, but WAY harder to setup. I wouldn't get this unless you're a glutton for punishment :)

@@BrianPhillipsRC hey,still waiting on weather for maiden flight on carbon z,what's your opinion on carbon cub s and timber? thanks,Rick
Can you give me some advice to cut and install the flaps out of my s+ (Common servos, i live in Medellín Colombia and maybe you don't find exactly what you are looking for) feel free to do it extended jaja
I don't think you need to do much to add flaps. If I remember right, they're already molded and just need a single 9 gram servo in the middle of the wing, then you can install the single pushrod to make them deploy together.
I'm sorry, but since I don't own the Carbon Cub S+ GPS, I can't say for certain. I have flown one, but it wasn't my plane...
