RE: J-3 cub Identifly.

I would have loved to see the Cheshire cat grin you had on that flight. It must have been ear to ear and then some.

That is what this is all about.

RE: J-3 cub Identifly.

Well, I wanted you to have enough power to get you out of trouble if you needed it :)

When in doubt, full throttle, full elevator, she will climb. She should climb as fast as a home sick angle....

RE: J-3 cub Identifly.

When you get full power out of a small electric motor and a big prop. Scares the fertilizer out of you.

RE: J-3 cub Identifly.

I would remove all of the junk that was there and start clean from the fire wall. You can make a simple ply box, buy a motor mount, make stand offs. You could cut a slot in the firewall to slide...

RE: J-3 cub Identifly.

The ole bench clearing method. Yeah, I too have used that one.

RE: J-3 cub Identifly.

Now where is the fun of doing it right the first time :)

Well you could have used an 11X7, 11X6, 11X5. This is where and why a watt meter is needed.

RE: J-3 cub Identifly.

Running an11X9 seems to be a bit much. You did find out it would do it, but not for very long.

RE: J-3 cub Identifly.

RE: J-3 cub Identifly.

The 24-44 one should fly the 36 ounce plane but would be to small for the Cub

The one that is rated for 31-58 ounce should fly the Cub.

RE: J-3 cub Identifly.

That is correct. The ESC has a built in BEC (battery eliminator circuit ) It will power the servos and Rx. It plugs into the throttle channel.

RE: J-3 cub Identifly.

The Eflite 25 weighs about 2 0unces more then the eflite, tacon 10 and would need to use a larger ESC and battery to get the most out of it.
