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,...

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

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...

My son and I took our Supercubs to the local recreation grounds this afternoon for a flight.

Not long after we were in the air when we were set upon by a Magpie (native bird) guarding its...

Yeah you're right, but I am working on the "if its not broken, don't fix it" system for the time being, plus I wanted to keep every thing stock until I get everything sorted.

I had a dead...

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

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?

Here is my latest...

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

easy, yes the 8 cell will fit perfectly and the mini connector is right for the stock SC
I have 2 x 8 cell 1200maH of these and they are the best thing without going the LiPo way. You do need...

Hey Boz,
I got my SC just over a month ago and have put 50 flights on it now, luckily without a scratch so far (touch wood). I have never hand launched it as it takes of from the ground so easily,...

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?

I was planning to use...

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

I have got to agree (especially as I have the Spitty already), the trojan isn't the most attractive plane out there.

Yeah, I got to see these in real life at an airshow recently. Man those Trojans are a big aircraft for a 2 seater, and the noise on take off was something to behold.

Maybe you should start a...

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

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...

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

Good advice hondajet,

however I would also consider ROG, ie. launching from the ground instead of tossing it.

It takes the element of the thrower "mucking it up" out of the equation. I have...

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

volker,

Sounds to me that the RX Voltage cutoff is definately operating. Something to test is whether your servos still operate when the motor cuts out, if so then its confirmed pretty much...

Any one seen any X-port mods, other than the standard ones of course. I wonder if there has been a electrical analysis done on the port itself to see what makes it work.

I am guessing it must...

Hey Hondajet

good piccies and nice mods to the Mode 1 Radio also. I ended up buying the mode 2 (kind of) radio from the US. It has a better feel to the stick than the short plastic ones on the...

Like I said, I walked into a LHS here in Aus and thats all they had.

They do not have a online shop, but I did see them (much cheaper) here once I got home.
