Commuter to Cub

[bbrennen]

I just destroyed my Commuter after a number of attempts to get it air worthy. Not sure what I did wrong but I'm thinking of trying the Simple Cub. I used a Flite Test "Radial" 1806 2280kV Brushless Motor with a 6x3 propeller on the Commuter and was wondering if it would work on the Cub that calls for a Radial 2212-1050kV with a 9x4.5 prop. I'm new to electric and was wonder if this is doable.

I don’t believe that an 1806 would make enough thrust to fly a cub. I am sure that my cub would not have flown that way.

1806 is way to small for a cub. look at one of the other mini's if you want to use the same setup.

good luck,

me

Thanks everyone for your replies. I've decided to scrap the Cub build for now. I printed out the Commuter plans, bought some foam board, and I'm going to give it another try. The last one was my first attempt at a foam board build and I paid for the kit. Hopefully I can figure out what I did wrong on the first one.
