Hi!
I have gone and bought myself the Volantex Super Cub 4ch RTF from hobbyking and it's been a great trainer airplane with a few minor issues and a recent quite big one.
What happens with this plane when the battery starts to run low is that if you go full throttle and then back to zero, the plane doesn't react and the servos stop responding for a second. I encountered this while trying to fly straight up, resulting in the plane stalling and crashing nose down into the dirt.
The only damage however was some minor foam destruction and a bent prop shaft. That however turned out to be a bigger deal than expected as I can't find replacement shafts for this plane anywhere and now I'm struggling to find either a new shaft or a new engine with a shaft.
The motor is specified as VOLANTEX RC LY2808CD-KV1800
Prop shaft: either 2,9mm or 3mm
Diameter for motor mount: 8,5mm
Battery: 7,2V lipo 500mAh
ESC: 10A Brushed/Brushless
Flight weight: 210g
What I'd like is some kind of package (preferably from hobbyking) where I get a new motor, motor mount, prop shaft and some suggestions on propellers that will work for this new setup. I have been looking at these items but I am unsure if they will work;
Motor
Prop holder & motor mount?
Prop shaft
Props
Will this work or is there anything i ought to change? What should I get if I want to use prop savers?
