RE: Show us your scratch built foamys

I have been looking at the over 300W...

RE: Show us your scratch built foamys

Hi All,

well not technically a foamy, as I have been experimenting with CorFlute after bulding a Mugi Evo from the free plans online.

yeah, the open gearbox with a forced airflow is a lot different environment to the control tubes.

The silcon spray that I used is harmless to foam (much to my surprise). I only had it on hand...

just an update for those that were wondering, I flew her this morning and the aileron "well covers" didn't appear to make any noticable differance, it certainly didn't make it worse though.

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

Hey FoxHat

bite the bullet and get rechargeable AAs, its a bit more outlay but they pay for themselves quickly.

I went with 8 Energisers 2500mAH first and cost over $55au without charger,...

sorry to hear about your maiden day out Jinxx.

Hi Foxhat

Yes the motors are the same, you just may have trouble fitting the 9 cell in (without hacking the compartment). It will take the 9.6 8 cell which provides improved performance over...

Hey FoxHat,
awesome job on the lights. I wouldn't mind seeing some piccies of the wiring job, assuming that its run under the wing, or were you able to tunnel internally?

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

Tim,
takes about 40-50 mins with the 1000mAH.

I have 1200mAH 8 cells and they take just over an hour on 1.3A.

If any one is interested, here is the logview chart from my RC-Power 601BC...

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

Hi Tim,

the 7 cell stock batteries are recommended to be charged at 1.2A and the 9 cell stock batteries (for the Spitfire) at 1.4A, so I figured the 8 cell should be 1.3A. My 8 cells have...

If you are getting new batteries, don't bother with the 7 cell, go straight for the 8 cell pack. They are the next best thing before going to LiPos which need a different charger.

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

Speaking of SuperCub Aileron Mods, I have a burning question.

If you mount 2 servos out on the wing in line with each aileron, how do these get connected up to the RX?

Yeah, spot on. I forgot that I actually did the taxi test first myself.

It gave me a lot of confidence to run it about 3/4 throttle until the tail lifted and hold it at that speed. It also...
