Nice job
Congratulations!! Enjoying every Video
Thanks!! Glad you enjoy them đ
Great video ans great entertainment. đ
Thank you for these videos! This will be one of my next planes.
Youâre very welcome glad you enjoy them! Itâs a great plane for sure we really like it! Good luck!
Congrats on a trouble-free maiden! Looks like that little tailwheel worked out fine. Hard to beat a good flying day at the lake.
Thanks yeah it went great for sure. And yeah the dry lake is sooo fun especially on a nice day like we had. Only thing I would like to change on the plane is go down to a 4000 mah battery for better CG or play with some more weights and get that 5000 better balanced.
@@UngluedModeler I think I'd try moving the battery rather than going smaller, electrics don't have long flight times as it is. It seems to fly really well, maybe just fly it as is for a bit and get a feel for it and what you want it to do. A little nose heavy might tame the stalls a bit also. Maybe bring a charger to get more flights in? If you do a simple charge (not a balance charge) they charge a lot faster so two batteries can keep you going. Now if only this wind would give us a break... Glad you guys got up there when you did, looks like you hit the only good window we've had lately.
Yeah good idea Iâll try that. The Carbon Cub battery tray design doesnât give you much room to shift the battery around. Because the battery mounts under the console allll the way up to the front you have to mount the battery to the tray like a sled and then slide it in there and it bolts down in a specific spot. But I might be able to figure a way to shift it a tad rearward. And THE WIND!!! Geez itâs crazy!! 50 knots today!
@@UngluedModeler I'm sure you'll figure something out. And it doesn't need to be permanent if you're just experimenting with the position. No kidding about the wind, it's starting to get on my nerves! I should look into getting a big box kite. Then I could fly near the house, and give the Tundra a break, it's looking a bit hammered these days.
Very nice
Congratulations! I was verry excited to see your maiden flight and almost could`t wait to see your video. I also put this model on my wishlist. Thank you both for all of your helpful and most charming informations.
I realy enjoied it!
Thanks for the kind words!! We had fun building it and weâll be flying it alit more! Glad you enjoyed it!
What a journey getting to the maiden. Very nice couple enjoying rc planes. Regards
Time for a 74â 3D monster haha
Haha đ
WOW! WOW! How exciting...I loved it but I was nervous for you too. đ Your tidbits of helpful information while flying are super great so we know what we can expect. What a journey this has been but very encouraging. Beautiful area for your maiden voyage. Your last landing was perfect đđ»! Congratulations đ On to another venture! Thank you.
Thanks haha. Yeah maiden flights are stressful LOL.
such a beautiful plane.
Thanks! Ot really is beautiful especially out in the desert!
Congratulations! Nice flying. đ
Thanks man!! Fun stuff!!
AWESOME MAN!!! Congrats on the successful maiden!!
Thanks man!! Itâs a great plane for sure!
"first Balsa plane we've built? " IT'S an ARF! it was already built!
Haha I see what youâre saying BUTâŠ.it wasnât even close to flying lol. We still had to assemble it. Howâs that? Better? đ thanks for watching!
I like that you guys built as a couple and include inclusive words for the project. As for the Cub, I have one and I donât think Iâve ever had it at full throttle. Iâve crashed three of them though. Tip stalls are predictable and elevator deflection and velocity relation are key to not have AoA stalls. I put Fowler hinges on my Cub because I didnât like how the strip ailerons didnât give me slow flight character.
I think you guys should build a full build now. Monokote covering is a skill to be conquered.
Thanks! Yeah itâs a great plane we love it. We would love to do a full build (kit) one day. We just donât have time unfortunately đȘ. We are both medical helicopter pilots for work and that career path literally takes up so much time lol. Heck, we canât even find time to finish our XCub ARF video series we have going lol. Unfortunately full scale helicopters and life comes first before RC aircraft đ
Nice. We flew hawks years ago. An old buddy is flying EMS in Connecticut and my best friend is Schwartz who has the whole region of air med in Az. I have a house in the valley and grew up in Tucson.
Awesome!! Yeah we fly EMS in the Las Vegas, Phoenix and Flagstaff area.
Glad ya got it done and had a good maiden. Such a shame it doesn't have a real engine.
Thanks! Iâm just into electric stuff these days haha. Either choice is good. The gas engines are cool for sure.
Good job ! I really love yours videos. Perfect đ
Thank you very much!!
AWESOME maiden!! I have both of the Eflite Carbon Z Cubs and love them. Started building my 15cc Cub with DLE20 power and canât wait to get it in the air!!
Thank you so much!!! Itâs an awesome plane youâre gonna love it!!! Good luck with your build weâre excited for you!!
Couple of years behind you but I finaly got to maiden my Carbon Cub with a RCGF Stinger 20CC Twin gas engine in the front. Thank you for the help both of you have given me through the videos!
Congrats thatâs awesome!!! I bet that plane flies great with that 20cc!! Glad our videos helped itâs such a nice flying plane. Weâre still trying to finish our gas XCub thoughđ€Šââïž
@@UngluedModeler I'm sure I'm not the only one waiting for more news about that project but all that matters are that both of you are hopefully doing alright and in good health.
Thanks! Yeah weâre both in good health thankfully just work is insane with OT right now. We donât really talk about it much but weâre both Medical helicopter pilots. Such a demand for workover right now. So unfortunately RC aircraft take a back seat to full scale helicopters lol
The battery setup is an absolute PIA. I do believe I'll rip out the Power 60 and go to fuel
Yes itâs absolutely horrible I agree. Itâs so bad Iâm trying to come up with a new way to hold the battery or just convert to gas.
Every cub I've flown (save the clipped wing version) needs turns to come from the rudder and not the ailerons. Coordinate both. More rudder movement than aileron
Yes you are correct. Cubs like rudder for sure!
At least you donât have any trees, electricity âĄïž poles, fences, houses and such lol đ Great đ Aircraft and Flights Pilot, you greased that last landing.
Thanks!! Yeah those trees and wires always seem to pop out of nowhere lol.
This is a really nice flyer. And very responsive on the controls. I've got the FG-21 in mine and it flys better than scale, and after 15 minutes, I'm down to just under half of the tank.
Yeah really like this plane a lot. I have to dial down my elevator rates a little still but other than that itâs so awesome.
đđđ
Congratulations nice flight I have the trainer could you put a safe esc in there and have the safe technology too just like the carbon Cub S2
Yeah you absolutely could. But if you know how to fly this plane doesnât need SAFE. And SAFE is a bad habit to get used to anyway!! LOL đ JK. Itâs good for new rc pilots but it becomes a crutch even once you know how to fly. Some people never stop using it. Anyway, rant over LOL. Yea you can put SAFE in any plane!! Good luck!
Listen guys.!! Your video work presentation is just wonderful. Congratulations your are the best I ever seen in CZcams. I just subscribed. Please keep going you all both will become a big stars. I will stay tune. Bye.
Thanks man!! That means a lot to us it really does. We love flying haha
I agree and me too!
Being an old timer RCer, you didnât âbuildâ this plane, you assembled it. Get a SIG kit and build it. Youâll see the difference..
Haha I realize that. Sorry I used the wrong word. Assembled it. Better? Haha. Jokes aside thanks for watching
Wow very nice the only difference I will use
In the DLE 20cc petrol engine
Thanks!! The DLE is a nice engine!! Thatâs gonna be really nice plane
I love my Carbon Cub always turns heads at the club. I changed my spinner type after burning out my motor, not enough air flow for cooling motor. Went with vented spinner now motor stays much cooler now. Also opened up cowl for more air and cut vent holes in rear bottom of fuse also and battery stays much cooler now also.
Wow thatâs crazy you burned up a motor!! Iâll keep an eye on ours great tips about the cooling thanks!!!
I find that the larger acft are easier to fly, Iâd be interested in your take on that.
Yes I agree 100%. The bigger aircraft are more intimidating but they are definitely easier to fly. They are more stable as they have weight on their side and the wind doesnât bump them around as much either. Everything happens a little slower and more realistically. When I fly my Micro Tundra and other small micro fliers they are extremely twitchy, the smallest wind gusts will knock them around and you need lightning fast reflexes as things happen SO FAST.
Can you not zoom in on that camera? Good to see at least 10 percent of your test flight anyway. Thanks for sharing.
Haha no. Itâs a GoPro. Weâre hoping to upgrade cameras soon! We really want to be able to zoom in. Thanks!!
Nice !
Would the power be good enough for floats flying ?
Yes absolutely. Plenty of power. Itâs a great plane and there are actually some great videos of it flying on floats including one from Ali M himself!! The man who designed the plane!!!!
A little trim would have been good..
Yup đ
Congratulations on a successful maiden flight.
I have now watched all of your videos and am thinking of buying the model too. I would be interested in whether you see the possibility of installing a tow coupling and a more powerful engine. I would be happy if you could write something about this.
Regards from Germany
Hi!! Thanks for watching in Germany! Weâre honored haha. Yes Iâm sure you could reinforce the top area up with some balsa layup and make a tow release by hooking up an extra servo up there. Thereâs is tons of room but I would reinforce that area up! Iâm sure it can be done depending on how handy and creative you are. As far as a more powerful motor you could install the eflite Power 90 and run 8s battery power. The plane recommends the Power 60 with 6s (what I went with). You will run into a CG issue for sure though and again I would worry about a little extra reinforcement in the motor area. The plane was meant for 6s power or a gas engine equivalent. I know the DLE 20 is popular for this plane. Good luck!
@@UngluedModeler Many thanks for your response.
I'll see what can be built in there. If that doesn't work, I still have a fantastic plane đ
Yes you will! Itâs a great plane for sure! Thereâs a reason that Horizon Hobby has kept it around for so long and sells tons of them! Iâd buy another one in a heartbeat.
You need a camera with zoom!
Where did you get the black screws?
Hey Chris thanks for the question! After endless searching I finally found them at a specialty fastener store in Las Vegas called McFaddenDales. They were actually stainless screws and I ended up scuffing, spray painting and matte clear coating them! I canât remember the size off top of my head but when I get home from work later Iâll check for you! Those little screws are hard to find at ânormalâ hardware stores đ
@@UngluedModeler Ok I have the same screws in stainless #2 button head.... was just hoping to get them in black. Looks real good.
Thanks! I found those #2 button head âkitsâ already in black oxide but the kits are huge and I donât need 300 random tiny screws lol đ
How does it fly in the wind?
It does great! Itâs a cub and itâs huge haha. Cubs handle the wind great and the bigger the plane is the better they do in the wind. The thing to watch out for with Cubs are the ground loops. Gotta stay on top of the rudder.
Thank You
