cub

Hi, I’m building a generic Piper Cub (not Flite Test). The CG is approximately at 5.2 cm, but this places the battery about 15 cm from the nose (60 cm fuselage). My question is, should I use those 5.2 cm corresponding to 30-33%, or should I go for 25% for the Center of Gravity? At 25%, I’d need...

I wanted to design a plane that can STOL, fly in a small area and handle gusty winds and yet be stable in all conditions. So to meet this goal, I am going to design it around a Cub(bish) which I haven't tried. Here is what I am doing to do for mods. 1) Chose full length ailerons to also to...

I finally got my Willy Nillies kit in! This will be my first balsa build, which may be a little ambitious as there’s no instructions included with the kit. But they have some reference photos posted on their forum as well as a time lapse build video which I’m planning on using. Has anyone built...

I will be stratch building my first plane the simple cub... I have a 2212 8T 1800kv motor with 2200mah 3S battery... I am planning on using 8045 or 1045 propellor with a 3 ch config... Please tell whether this much power is enough or I need to make other plane

CubCrafters new NX Cub brings you great flying qualities of any cub, with the excellent ground handling of a Tricycle landing gear. This Mini version is a wonderful 30" trainer that is a little more advanced in build but has (hopefully) amazing flying tendencies. Keeping it simple with a...

Hi everyone, greetings from Brazil. Would like to share my project based on Savage bobber and Ft Cub. The fuselage is made of bamboo, Styrofoam wing and other items in depron.

‪I am scratch building the simple cub currently - my first ever scratch build. I am using the free online plans which I have printed on A4 and taped together. Any tips on how to transfer the plans onto the foam to cut out?‬

A little while back I had the idea to turn a crashed T-28 S into a new plane. The T-28 was turned into packing foam after meeting with a brick wall. So I stripped the electrics and bought a new gear box (old one was in 3 peices) I soon decided on a damage resistant cub. Easy to build from...

Could you add a tail wheel to the simple cub, any links to a tail wheel I could buy and glue/tape onto the rudder like the Hobbyzone Champ. The rudder on my simple cub has a buldge on the backside of the hindge will that affect the flight characteristics of it will post a picture later.

Update 1: Added paint progress, new wheel pictures. Update 2: Added post paint progress, assembled and detailed. Hello all! My name is Brandon. I'm 30 years old, married, and have three kids. I'm an Automated Assembly/Robotics/Numerical Control programmer at Boeing in their main factory in...

Coroplast simple cub Hiii, I am new to RC, and I had made FT storch from Coroplast but haven't added any electronic as for A2212 1000kv it was too heavy... So made CUB, this built is way better than first model storch... Can anyone help me... Actually only one question  according to...

My Dad and I have been watching FliteTest for several years now and we finally took the plunge at Flite Fest East which luckily lined up with our trip to visit family. We got the FT Simple Cub and the DX6e transmitter along with the various other things you need to fly. Being our first plane, we...

I'd like to see the addition of a mock engine similar to the one on the Sportster. I tried to copy it but that one is too big for the cub.

Among the several aircraft in the Cub family the PA-14 Family Cruiser was the first 4 seat production aircraft built by Piper Aircraft. Produced from 1947 to 1948, this particular model became a favorite of mine, not because of any inherent flight characteristic but because of a special chapter...

Hey guys! Currently working on the design for a carbon fibre build. I love super cubs and bush planes, so its going to based around a cub. But not exactly scale. I'm looking to go full on STOL custom design. Going to be spending most of the time working in CAD until the design is finalized...

What do you get when you combine a gift certificate to your local hobby shop and an awesome boxing day sale? A FUNCUB. Yes yes yes. I've wanted one of these for a long time now. I'd bought the motor and ESC back in the summer for the ill-fated 60" Spitfire but now that 3536 motor has a home...

Hello! Let me start off by saying I am a huge FT fan and love what FliteTest does for the RC hobby/community. The FT designs are amazing, and have helped me find a new love for designing and building RC planes of all types. I just wanted to throw this out there.. I think if FT designed and...

Plane: Sport Cub S by Horizion Hobby Material: Styrofoam I've very new to the hobby of RC aircraft and I'm not sure whether I should repair a wing crack with glue or tape. I'm pretty sure that tape would be the best option considering the crack is fairly minor, but I want to make sure. I...
