A plane that breaks during a crash isn't tough. You mentioned repairs that needed epoxy and even popsicle sticks to make it good again.
A "Tough plane" would be able to take a crash and not break. EPP is a good foam that will take a crash and not break easy because it is flexible. EPO is also good and tough.

It is advertised as "Easy to repair, lightweight, durable Z-Foamâ„¢ construction"
So you could say it is "Easy to repair" but not exactly "Tough"

I've been watching my neighbor fly his red and blue Super Cubs for awhile now...so I just bought mine yesterday! These things are so cool...especially for those of us with little ones around. My 5 year old son loved chasing it all around the park. I took it out to the neighborhood park at dusk last night and flew this thing for all it was worth. What an easy flying plane!! At one point, I grabbed my Polaroid mini camcorder and strapped it to the bottom with rubber bands for a little video action too. My neighbor thought it would throw off the weight and crash...but it flew perfectly!

Did I mention how cool, stable and awesome these planes are?! I can't wait to fly some more soon...and then some more after that!

Yeah, they'll handle small cameras well - especially if you mount them under the center of gravity like you did.

Which parks you flying at?

Will a hobbyzone mini super cub rtf transmitter work on a hobbyzone super cub rtf? Can I use my super cub esc/receiver with a mini super cub transmitter?

Wheelnut

My Feedback: (81)

That would be a no. If I'm not mistaken, the mini cub has servos that are built on the board and will not be strong enogh for the super cub.

My guess would be that it would work if it's the right channel. My son uses my old SC transmitter on his Mini SC. Both are on CH 2. The ACT even works.

Belemnoid

TX work. I gave my SC TX to a buddy who used it on his mSC.

Hey all I've been thinking about resurecting the cub. Had the ESC catch on fire. I got the fire out pretty quickly and only a little foam melted away. I have a extra motor and ESC on a plane that I just didn't like the way it flew. What I have is the A2208/12 would this work in my super cub?http://www.suppomodel.com/ It's the A2208/12 1800KV A2208/12 AUW range is 200 - 500 g 2 or 3 cell lipo. I was thinking of using a 2 cell lipo on a ubec for power and a regulare receiver pack for the receiver and servos.

Thanks

This is our local helicopter club (SMRCHA) flying field behind the public works complex. It was a bit too windy to fly the helis I had with me, so I took up the SC. It's a long video (feature length ), but it's easy enough to skip ahead. The area looks better when there are leaves on the trees.

Talking about TX's, will the LP RTF bind with a dx5e? Since it is only 10 dollars more I was thinking of getting it and selling the TX on ebay.

Wheelnut

My Feedback: (81)

No it will not bind with the DX5e or any other DSM2 tech radio. You have to have a compatible DSM2 receiver

Doker44

Thanks Wheelnut you just saved me from bidding on one on Ebay!

I moved the control rods on the rudder and elevator to the next hole just to test it out and what a difference it makes.
I was flying upside down at the 3:00 minute mark and if it wasnt for the extra control I think it would have crashed.

Sinai,


The super cub landing that's a good video.

CWPOWELL,


Nice flying upside down!!

I have been looking online at the keychain camera some of you are using. What is the best spot and how are you attaching it to your planes?

Dangaras

Epoxy & velcro work really well.
