RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

The answer is NOTHING.....The Super Cub is so well designed and is such a good size, that it is really hard to beat. You can do almost any mod to it and still have it fly well. The wonder is WHY...

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

I'm sorry, but I don't have pics. I also don't have the plane, any longer. I went out to help a novice pilot try to get his plane in the air. I found he had a real piece of carp and the best I could...

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

Balloonpilot,
I would never consider putting my SC back to stock. However, some of the more extreme mods just aren't all they're cracked up to be. I have definately back tracked mine, but never...

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

I think that the modificaton of the Super Cub is a testament to how good the airplane really is. It is the nature of the hobby to build and fly. Each individual will then try to improve his skill...

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

4 channel,
I don't do the picture posting thing, but if you search on line for the assembly manual for the GWS E-Starter or Tiger Moth 400, you will see what I did. I fabricated my own torque bars...

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

I used a single servo and torque bars. I first used an S75 E-Flight but the gears failed shortly after. I switched to a Hitec HS 81 and never had any more problems. Though My ailerons were not scale....
