RE: Hangar 9 1/4 Scale Piper Cub ARF???

oh I probably need to mention that you must add together the two thicknesses of the wing and fuse at the location where the bolt hole is and cut the bolt at least that measurement plus another 1/4...

RE: Hangar 9 1/4 Scale Piper Cub ARF???

RE: Hangar 9 1/4 Scale Piper Cub ARF???

I agree with the overpowered stuff. Cubs are not 3D olanes and don't look good doing it in my opinion.
Mine has the stock Zenoah 20cc gasser and it fly very nicely even at 4,250' where I live. It...

RE: Hangar 9 1/4 Scale Piper Cub ARF???

Ewalds: It takes only 5 minutes to change from floats to wheels and the cg was good enough to not add any weight. I do add 4 clicks of up elevator with the floats on. The floats have compartments in...

Wow! 35cc gas engine! My cub came with the 20cc zenoah and it flies great! Even with floats and at 4250' I can't imagine why a cub needs so much power. Of course I am not really a 3D flyer so I don't...

It will be a good idea to...
