RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

Lehrscott,
I have done one of these using the Estes rocket motor. I can take some photos and post them if you want. With my Power 10 Brushless, 12x6 prop, and 3S 2200 lipo I don't have a...

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

Dan,
I agree with ADWB on the COG. I have found that the plane flies fine with the COG anywhere between 2.5 inches behind the leading edge to 2.75 inches behind the leading edge. As far as...

Pat,
I had an incident where I crashed my Super Cub with an E-flite Park 480 into the Des Moines River. It floated in there for at least an hour until it finally ran onto shore. It still...

Itzobi,
I thought receiving bad advice from me was what kept you going? On another note, did you happen to make it up to University of Phoenix stadium last weekend for the r/c show? Luckily, I...

Firebird,
You may want to do a google search on "Parkzone Corsair Upgrades" or something like that because I seem to remember that there was a recall or notice about screws that were holding...

Itzobi,
I have recently gone to using these guys: http://www.valuehobby.com/products.php?category_id=8 I think they are very reasonable and I have had very good luck with the quality. You might...

Itzobi,
I will be there for this. I have been planning to show up at this thing for 6+ months now. I can't wait. My grandparents live down there in AZ and so I'm going to meet up with them...

Itzobi,
I'm interested in your DX5's. Will you please send me a price.
Thanks

Talent,
I have a Phase 3 F-16 on the way for myself. I couldn't pass up that deal. Then I saw the...

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

I answer everybody that asks this question the same way. The parkzone P-51 uses the same motor and comes stock with a 10.8V battery. That's only a .3V difference. So, you will be just fine. I...

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

Chuck,
If you want a completely stock SC for the least amount of money I would buy a bag of extra parts from somebody's crashed plane off of Ebay. Then I would buy the remaining parts needed...

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

Tyler,
I agree with you about not mounting the ESC up front. I don't know if you saw my pictures of my fuselage but I actually mounted my receiver & ESC in the rear of the plane. The reason I...

DGUY,
I think a football field is enough. Just watch the goal posts otherwise you will end up like this guy from rcgroups.

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

Mr. Hershey,
That's a great idea and I have used it before on Brushless outrunners. What I was referring to is the original shaft on the SC. The problem is that it is so long that it is...

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

Tyler,

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

You will need a Brushed ESC to finish your conversion. I would recommend the 35A Brushed ESC from Electrifly. The Stock number is: GPMM2035 It is on this page:...

RE: Official Hobby Zone "Super Cub" Thread

I have a SC with an E-flite Power 10 mounted under the cowl. They appear to be roughly the same dimensions with the exception that the Power 10 is 43mm in length. So, I don't see...

I have done the same thing that you have done with the exception that I used a Helimax 2750kv inrunner. This is a great & inexpensive way to make your Super Cub brushless. The most...
