Carbon Z Cub POV little gem cycle park
We came out to play with the crawlers and also wanted to see what we were playing on from the air. Taking the Cub up to see if there's anything we can't see from the ground. Plus flying between hills is going to be a blast!

How fast is the Carbon Z Cub?
zhlédnutí 278Před 14 dny
Flying the cub today. Conditions are prime for a good flite. Gropro under the wing. Going full throttle how fast can we get this cub to fly. To the sky!

Things were looking good until I started . Today we are going to be speed testing a new body to see if it will parachute at close to a 100mph..... or I thought I would be. Turns out I cant drive for squat. Next is to make some speed passes with a boat and trailer and see just how fast is too fast. No life jacket needed... lets roll
Two cubs one camera

Eflite carbon z cubs. Between the two is 160 inches of mistakes about to happen. The blue one is the earlier model and the orange is the current model. Both are running on 6s lipo packs. The new one is broke in, today is the maiden for the blue cub. We take to the sky for some afternoon fun!

We were thinking of centering the camera somewhere on the plane, but I like this view better? What do you think? We were wanting to see the airfield from above. Nows now bad, but when spring comes, and she greens up it will look great. Suit up, strap in, were taking off!!!!!!!!
Radian edf.. what acually happened?
zhlédnutí 498Před měsícem
You'll never guess what happen!! Minutes after a rough tango with a sign, we got it taped up and ready to go airborne. This time with a Subi, shot the glider out of the moon roof. It was prolly flying like a turd because the shark head was missing.
Radian EDF V2
zhlédnutí 2,6KPřed měsícem
I had a good feeling.......... up until I didnt on this one. It coulda, it shoulda, it woulda been a flying shark, gobbling up all the new subscribers! Five minutes later we literally taped it back together and sent it out the moon roof of a subi.
80mm EDF Eflite radian disaster
zhlédnutí 1,8KPřed měsícem
Glueing a 80mm fan to the top of the radian seemed like a good idea, that is until I tossed it in the weeds. This ended worse than the umx version I made. But this did fly well and was very fun to play with. Coming soon version two. This was our first firework. . . . on accident
Speed slash hits OVER 100MPH on 5S
zhlédnutí 344Před měsícem
Today I forgot to bring adapters so we are dialing it in on 5s. Goal today is to hit at least 100mph, if we can achieve that then it should be supersonic on 6s. This is also possibly the last time you will see it as a fiesta. Upgrades activate!!
107MPH Slash 4x4 speed runs

Putting together a montage, its guna be a montage, a slash 4x4 montage. It only works if you sing it like Team America These are our fastest passes so far, but............ we are far from over wink wink
The launching of a Timber jet
zhlédnutí 1,5KPřed 2 měsíci
Had to think outside the runway on this one. The first time was easy, not this time. To the left, to the right, in the weeds, and broke the gear again. Finally a hand launch out of the cab was the solution.

Does any RC company make trailers this nice?!
I like it. Way more sporty than a camera drone.
This spots not too far from home. Really fun to rock crawl here
Best sounding pass Ive had. It was like a jet was flying by
Right at 2:22 is the sweet spot. It looks like its back a little ways off the road, going to have to bust out the rzr and go find it!!
0:09 would have to be a butcher's way to tighten a nut.
It has a huge prop nut. My little crescent wouldn't open big enough. Glad you liked it. 😉
Awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Going to try and tow something here soon, they got little servo releases on the top. Not sure what yet lol
Come On Man! Keep trying
I posted a video of the whole ordeal. "Radian edf what acually happed". Ill get another one rigged up soon.
Right on.
have you been flying?
@@flyasakite1781 Almost daily. I am spoiled rotten and fly from my own yard.
We went in search of a new field, found it to find out its private and the gate was locked so we wound up at the usual spot for this one.
The Vimber 🤣
pretty catchy huh!
I wish I had a truck/trailer combo. Glad the proboat didn't get scuffed up. Would like to see the proboat on moving water, the Platte maybe. Toyota trucks are great, I had a T100 5 speed manual. Now my favorite old truck is a GMC 2500HD 8.1 liter vortec with Allison transmission. Fly it like you STOL it. Cheers
I'm super glad this didn't go tumbling, I can only imagine the chaos that would cause
Just once in a while Id like to get to what Im trying to do without destroying it before hand
Nice
Our flying is a little rusty lol Thanks for watching!
This earned you a new subscriber. Keep up the good work.
Welcome aboard matey.
No way, now hope a SuperTwin EDF A10 like Timber for the next one 😂😂
Im going to need a bigger timber or smaller edfs. The weight of this thing is unreal, its super heavy.[
@@flyasakite1781 yeah sure 😅 Nice work for real. I hope from horizon hobby to work on it Super Timber Twin EDF not necessary to be A 10 like. Under wings like Twin Timber could be nice to. ☺️
I have an A10 but Im not ready to cut it up yet. Im thinking the next project is bomb doors on my cz cub.
@@flyasakite1781 yeah please do not cut the A-10 i was really talking for horizon hobby suggesting for the next one😉
Super cool. Slips, crabs and one wheel walk the dog. Right on.
lol which maneuver is walk the dog?
@@flyasakite1781 When you touch and go but you purposely role the mains for an extended period. Extra points for the one wheel. The nitro start was funny.
Can I have the design of the EDF please 🥺
Absolutely... Ill share the files here soon.
Thank you very much 😌
Does your EDF WORKs with a 2200kv motor?
Um I'm not sure. Inside is 79mm. You can resize it in tinkercad or on cura.
, I am sorry, I do not have a laptop or the experience to modify your design, so please, please, modify it to works with 2200kv motor , please 🥺🙏
Male pilots
Makes for a good time!
So… when are we getting a V3?
Never mind I just checked your channel
lol you never know. Its still in the back of the truck. You'll probably see it again!
Hey man, cool build! Where can I get the STL file for the edf nacelle and EDF nacelle mount? (or if you can share it if its homemade) Greatly appreciate it!
So I was poking around and Im not sure how to get you the files. Im glad to share, I made them on tinkercad. I tried to copy and paste in this reply. let me know and Ill get them to you!!!
@@flyasakite1781 Thanks. I don't think you can share them via comment. I don't see anything. I guess you can use some dropshare online drive link if you'd like. Otherwise I'll figure something out! Also, I have a Jerry rigged glider I made with a 64mm EDF nacelle unit that came from another crashed plane. The glider I used is the Volantex Phoenix S and Added the 64MM EDF + Nacelle slightly aft of CG. Maybe an Idea for you, because this thing I made out of just curiosity flies like a dream. It is immaculate. I'll try and film some and put on my channel and share the link. Never done it before so It might take some time, but that is to show how much I love it. I fly nothing else since! And My reason for the file is that I am going to try and do the same type of build, but now with an 80MM and with another volantex frame, this time the Phoenix V2 (a bigger version of the Phoenix S, so airfraim is somewat the same, just scaled bigger) Kits of these airframes are very cheap and of decent quality, deffo for the price. In any case, looking forward to more EDF Frankenstein projects!
@@unknowninvictus2520 I posted the files on thingiverse. Radian edf
I wish this flew because that would have been a cool asf video To see a flying shark 😂 Maybe you can tweak it to work
I'll post the rest of the video. No shark head as it exploded when I hit the sign
You could of at least put a wheel in the belly so it'd track better on the ground and be able to rotate successfully
Look closer
Ouch!
Theres more, we flew it after it hit the sign believe it or not. I just thought the video was funny that way. I should have done it like queen "we will rock you" clap , clap, crash! clap, clap, crash!
@@flyasakite1781 The 3d printing is impressive.
Idk if your into nitro. One day I'm going to release a monster that the world is not ready for. It has truly amazing print work. Supercharged nitro madness!!
Choked 😵💫
"we'll be back" got me to subscribe 😄can't wait for more
HEY!!! Thanks for joining
It's too heavy
lol I like making flying boat anchors. But it is for sure a tank
Oh ya. Almost done. V2 is bad to the bone. Coming soon
Some Beautiful wing arching. Cool Guys!
It's coming back out this weekend. This time much better
Don't get your football playing buddy to hand launch your sail plane. That mistake is on the builder as you should know better.
lmao dying laughing. Trying to get max altitude off the launch
Way underpowered, but it does fly, so good job!
It would have a little more umpf if the airway wasn't completely blocked off with all the electronics.
that's cool
Its sitting here begging me to fix it
😂 We tried multiple times. It had over 1200 grams of weight added.
try to mix elevator proportional to the throttle due to the momentum that the engine is creating. And try to launch gentle while running, dont stop running and throw at a stance. 😀
Dudes... what are you doing.... ? You can not push by hand that hard the plane... The hand is never correctly oriented with the correct plane direction... you will always get 'dangerous' results... The arm/hand should just support with a gentle push the direction the plane is taking during the launch, while at sustained throttle...
oh they had words, you could tell in the sped up part.
I went back and checked we were just laughing!
maybe just a gentle horizontal launch ? Great experiment 👍
expressLRS and radiomaster MT10 have amazing range. Its a bit of a learning curve to get started but you seam like someone who enjoys tinkering with things. The price point is so much less than the proprietary systems the manufactures use. Loving the Content keep it up man.
Im hoping to hook up an older spektrum radio that has a speedometer built into it. Does the express hook to the spektrum receiver, or is it radio rx package like the mt10
@flyasakite1781 dang that's cool they have a speedo built into the older units. ELRS is its own protocol. I do think they have a 4 in one module that works with spektrum, that combo wouldn't increase rang tho, spektrums protocol or the tx power is probably the limiting factor for range. I use a radiomaster with a 4 in 1 module for some of my HH planes
its more of a add on to a dx2e. idk it looked neat so I wana try it out
Give it 8 edf’s for extra powrr
Hell ya!
Love it 😊
We really appreciate you checking it out, thank you. A few more mods and we'll get flying of the ground next time. Maybe
@@flyasakite1781 subscribed 🤘🏽
Yes🤘🤘
Cool my man.
Ill hopefully have another video of it soon, the gear is giving me a hard time
I’m going to subscribe just for this video
Have you tried one of the "up-start, bungee" glider launch systems?
I have not. What's it all about?
@flyasakite1781 It's like a real long rubber band. You would have to. Look it up online. It is roughly several feet of surgical tubing tied to several feet of thin nylon line nailed in the ground, Think sling-shot. If you do look It up online, it's called an upstart for radio control gliders. Or talk to some rc glider guys. I made one and used it on an edf that was a real POS. It did get it launched up in the sky.But the jet was a real crapper.
@@edgaeta2001 I haven't seen them but hearing you describe it gives me horrible or I mean great ideas.
@flyasakite1781 They work really well but you have to be very careful. If it snaps loose, it can ruin your day. I used them with my gliders in the past.. Watch some videos about rc glider launching.
There are several rc bungee launch videos on CZcams, I just finished watching some.
Im living for the moster you created. Love the truck launch keep posting and ill keep watching
I'm surprised it survived. We had a blast getting it off the ground!
LOL. 👍 10/10
Thank you!
LOL. Awesome work. 10/10. Give vectored thrust (yaw only) a shot. It works great to overcome the lack of aerodynamic steering from not having prop wash over the rudder and lack of mechanical steering via the tailwheel due to not having the prop wash make the elevator effective either at slow air speeds with this type of conversion. Can't wait to see what else you come up with!
I was thinking of Y-ing off the rudder with another servo for a steerable rear wheel. A wheel right off the servo horn. lol
Do it@@flyasakite1781
Looks like something you would do to a timber
@@flyasakite1781 The issue with that is you still won't have downforce on the tail to make that wheel able to steer mechanically. Source: many crashes with the Bush Viper trying the same before going to vectored thrust. 😂
Mav shes pulling to the left...no the right no the left! You guys are off the charts! Lol
Happy flying!! Thanks for tuning in
10 out of 10 for sure.
We tried and tried. No way was I going home without getting it in the air
The Burt Rutan of RC planes. 😂😂😂
Please don’t show horizon lmao
Now thats what I call a super timber @horizonhobby
CG? Not level in cruise, sure looks tail heavy to me?
I used the same cg as when it was stock. Well as close as I could get it.
Very creative, made me who was eating while laughing when I saw this😂
Stop giving horizon ideas
No credit needed just it already
This comment made me laugh so hard. Honestly they should do it just for the memes alone
LOL
