where did you get the skins? i didn't think
@Rasterize had released his blue sunburst cub yet?
i am very interested in your flap setup. please do share, i would luv to do something similar on the Cub i have in the works...

laters,
me
I've added flaps to my cub as well and love them. Here's my initial config. May make the flaps a bit wider on new wing but....
From the typical aileron starting point...
Flaps width = 12.2cm
Ailerons = 24.6cm (didn't like them going all the way to the wing tip so cut them more like scale cub)
I used the original servo cutouts for ailerons for flap servos. Used original control horn slot of one flap servo and had to off set the other since I don't know how to reverse a servo physically (not in radio since you need servos on Y cable and same receiver channel)
Then, I just put the control horns basically centered for the ailerons and added two servo cutouts. Works really well for me. Still have plenty of control authority for the ailerons. I had to crank down DRs o my first wing build to FT specs. Had to much control IMHO.
One the Spektrum side, out flaps on channel 6. Have 3 pos switch assigned for half flaps=45 and I think 10 down elevator. 90 for full flaps and 30 for elevator. But, I've been tweaking that lately and experimenting. I just put on the E-flite timber 4" wheels and they made noticable difference to flight characteristics that I'm playing around with a few things. Not a huge difference but...I did lose about 2 minutes of flight time.
I also have the C motor (1180kv) in it and 11x5.5 prop (testing 11x8 later today😋😁). I highly recommend both. She just screams now! I can climb straight up more than my old eyes can see (or hit 400'lol) I'm just having a blast this this bird. Some old timers at the field I fly at smile and ask some backhanded questions when they first see it on the ground and then they see how well it flies. They come back and ask...where did you get that thing from? My $130 cub flies better than their $400 production plane! 😛😅
Best thing is... building a new wing costs what... a buck for a sheet of foamboard? Had the servos and cables from scrapping old parkzone corsair. Just let you imagination and hot glue gun run wild!
Still consider this white wing as a prototype. Have a new wing built with FT foamboard. The white wing was made with Ross foamboard. I liked it because its thicker and a little more beef..until I started making folds with FT plans. The thickness screws up the math and made it a real pain. Found a local shop with FT foamboard and gonna stick with it from now on.
