Hello everyone, since I'm new here so I put some pictures.
Coming off my other Cuber eventually.
Here are some pictures of my Hangar 9 Super Cub with Saito fg36
I am very pleased with this model and engine works fine in this plane


Should be LN-KCM

















With friendly greetings

Here are a few more pictures.













Pictures of my 3 other cub's
1/4 AeroWorks S2


1/4 Balsa USA




1/3 Balsa USA L-4 Army Cub


Now I restore an old J-3 Cub


Valach 60 1s 4T






The model should be like this when it's done


You must still have a nice day.

Pretty good I think

Hey everybody! Looking forward to the build and taking full advantage of all the tips and mods on here! I'm seeing there are two options for the VVRC 40cc and one is out of stock. I think it's the one everyone is installing on this beast. Anyone know how long they take to get them back in stock? I built the Super Cub ep25 And there was a lady out of Albuquerque that did the piper custom decals but can't remember how to get a hold of her... anyone know her contact info? Keep up the good work Cub brethren!

To order a VVRC40 call Tom. He sells out of them as fast as he can get them in.

They have or had 2 different 40cc twins, one had standard CM-6 plugs, the other one had the smaller 1/4x32 plugs. The smaller plugs fit within the cowl w/o any cutting.

Thanks Gents! Looking forward to scaling this thing out completely! Barracuda, your rig looks GREAT! Im going to be new to the petrol engines on this one as I have been flying nitro and Electric since i was young. Will there be carb adjustments because of temp and elevation every time I go to the field with the VVRC 40? Im assuming so and the cowl will probably have to come off before the first flight every flight day, correct? Looking forward to the PR's too! I had a pair of 8" trexler's on my super old school H9 1/4 Super Cub and loved how they handled on grass but they definitely had a shelf life and stopped production on them years back.
Slainte!

Nah, for the most part, once dialed in a gas engine doesn't need much tinkering with unless there's extreme changes.

Where in CO are you?

dynoman024

Great news! Im currently in Afghanistan but just took a Job flying in Centennial, so the Denver area starting in January.

Barracuda, I know your friend helped with the inner cowling cooling duct work right? Looks very scale to the Carbon Cub and I am wondering if you feel its helping? Also wondering what you are getting on run times with the stock fuel cell... Im planning on using my Futaba 7EX and hope it will be enough given I plan on using a few Y-harnesses. What battery setups are you using for the radio and ignition? Totally new to the ignition thing too so any advice on that would be greatly appreciated! I plan on starting the ordering process tomorrow and want to have everything delivered by the time i get back stateside. On my 25 ep Super Cub I had to drill out the nav light spot for the tail and customize the strobes in the wing tips as well as did some custom work with mini mag lights for the landing and slanted taxi light. Had to run extra wire for some of them too. Any words of wisdom with that process?
Thanks!

dynoman024

I meant the beacon for the top of the tail. that was TOUGH!

I'm running the small plug version in my Cub and after intial tuning seldom have to touch the needles. With one small hole for driver access, the cowl never comes off for minor adjustments. The engine has so much power for this airframe you have a wide tuning window.

Running non-ethanol regular gas, with Redline synthetic mixed 40:1 with 1 oz Seafoam/gal.

What will running seafoam do .Thinking about useing it to

dynoman024

Just ordered my VVRC 40cc and I'm stoaked! I have seen guys using an 18inch prop on here for the scale look which is what I'm going for but nothing on how that is working for the engine and aircraft performance. Anyone have data on this and what prop they're using?...

BarracudaHockey

My Feedback: (11)

18" is pretty small,this is an engine you don't want to over speed. Mine has a Falcon carbon 20x9 on it, when I reviewed this engine we tested a bunch of props and that had the most thrust, plus mine is on floats and water chews up wood props.

Whatever you run, make sure it's big enough to pull it down into the recommended RPM range.

dynoman024

Thanks! I figure its either gonna be a little long looking or oddly wide with an increased prop chord line... I guess its gonna be fine with the added length and the PR's on it. Love me some wheel landings so ill just be vigilant if need be.

Marksp how does that seafoam work in your fuel

marksp

My Feedback: (9)

Unsure. It was recommended by a local long time gas modeler and I've run it in everything from my small DLE's, to my big Moki radial and everything in between. Could be "snake oil" or could be lubricious.

Ok Fellers Im about to pull the trigger on this plane. It will be electric powered and do double duty as land and sea based (tundra tires and floats) so I want some serious poop up front. What is everyone using for motor/speed control/cell count?

T.I.A.

I flew my Super Cub for a couple of years on the following EP setup:

- Tacon Bigfoot 160 (Power 160 clone)
- Castle Talon 120HV
- (2) GensAce 5S 5300 (in series)
- Xoar 19x10 (land)/APC 19x10 (water)

I also picked up the Morgan Mill battery tray & EP motor mount.

Tons of power, lots of fun!

Has anyone mounted a pair of wheel pants using the stock (or Robart) landing gear? I have some from wheel pants from Fiberglass Specialties. Seems like my axels will be a bit short. I would like to use the cub wheels, but it looks like I would have to use some skinny tires which I really don't care for.

Did you have any issues with that motor? Reliable?

The build is coming along. Some minor challenges but they were overcome. I do have a question for you guys that have completed your builds. The manual indicates the need for 8 servos, it makes no mention of a reversed servo for one of the elevators. Did I miss something in the manual? I just reversed one of my servos and pressed on but I do think it is a major oversight on Hangar 9's part. I had the capability to reverse a servo, some guys would not not be able or have the tools....what was your experience?

aeroriki

I reversed one of the servos direct from the radio program.

I did it in the radio as well, most radios support it
