Hey all, I've got a super cub and I love it. A buddy bought a Flyzone Beaver, and it has scared the hell out of me to fly... just too powerful. I landed it successfully on the lake, but it's just too much plane for me. Instead, I opted to upgrade my Super Cub to learn 4 and 5 channel flight before moving to something bigger.
I added 8 inch ailerons but didn't remove the dihedral. Consequently, my roll ability is minimal... I'm thinking of taking out the dihedral and making the ailerons 10 inches. Either way, the two servos and the hardware currently in the wings really add on weight and seem to bog down the Cub... I would like to add flaps with just one servo and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions and pictures.
I am also considering changing out the engine and ESC to power this sucker... again I am looking to change this from a 3 channel trainer into a more powerful 5 channel trainer before I move onto the Beaver. If I wreck the cub I wouldn't feel nearly as bad.
Anyone know a solid brushless motor, motor mount, ESC, and Prop combination that is not outrageously expensive... and if a 1300 MAH battery would still give me decent flight time (around 8-10 minutes)?
I know this is pretty particular, but this is a thread for builds...
Any help would be great. Oh, and I also already have a 6 channel receiver and DX6i.
