Picked up another second hand airplane. This one was expertly built in the 1980s. I replaced the servos with HiTec HS-645MGs, new batteries and a Spektrum AR-8360T.

Got this plane from a club member, Jim, and I’m the third or fourth owner. It has a Husqvarna chainsaw sleeve on it and that is how I found a replacement carb. It’s a 72cc two stroke. Has Futaba servos but I plane to swap them out for HiTec metal gear versions. 755s or 7955s.

I got this Cub in a bundle deal and it had a tired .46 on it that could barely keep it in the sky. So I changed it out for a Saito 72 and then later a Saito 82. On this day I had also upgraded to Robart landing gear. This was becoming my favorite plane in my hangar.

    У меня была такая птица на 1600 мм. Как только вы правильно выставите центр тяжести (когда планер летит ровно без двигателя), тогда вы поймаете кайф от полета. Не бойтесь набирать высоты эта птица высокого полета. И тогда посадка для вас не составит труда даже без FLAPS. Жаль что она из бальзы её очень легко сломать.

    It is a glider, motor is used only to gain altitude and then enjoy catching thermals. Trim the glider to fly level with the motor off. A good way to set the correct CG on a glider is to gain altitude, turn off the motor, dive in a 45º angle and let go the elevator stick, if the glider nose goes up it is nose heavy and if the nose goes down it is tail heavy. I know that this sounds as the opposite but it is correct. This happens because the trim int he elevator has to compensate for the incorrect CG.

    I refuse to fly anything but 4 stroke. If I'm waiting money on glow fuel, best run perfect and sound even better. One thing I never missed from the yesteryear of rc was fighting the cheaper brand motors. O.S. is pretty much it. Old O.S. FPs just ran for ever! Get a nice Satio or O.S. 50 size four stroke. Even a 60 size would work well in that model.
