RE: Flyzone Select Scale Super Cub
HI! Freeonthree... glad that your Cub was perfect, unfortunately mine was as described in the previous post.
Yes, I know that the wing could come off taking only the screws from where the landing gear is attached and the top screw of the wing but, something I didn´t mention is that the screw heads (those 2 actually) were pretty soft on the heads and it is hard now to get them to move with my screwdrivers... will try and find some at the hardware store to replace them (metric).
The foam in the elevators is fine, what is bent is the wire that holds them together and the control horn... I have tried to bend it some but without putting too much pressure as the foam starts to give out. I already had to repair a crack in it.
I also put the receiver in the cockpit and can see the bind light, etc... that is not a problem. Use ArtTech 11.1 1300 mah batteries and they fit but slanted to the back... actually you can see it part of it from the cockpit... the plane seems to balance OK with the equipment the way it is so I will leave it as is. I also had to change the plug from the ESC to a Deans plug - no problem there.
Will give it its maiden tomorrow and I´m hoping that it´ll fly OK... hopefully it will fly as good as yours but, if it doesn´t, still have my good ole "Diamond 1800" which is sweet.
I bought the plane at the Hobby Store in Santiago, Chile. I live in Reñaca, Chile now and that is about 90 miles from Santiago... Started the hobby in New York in 1971, lived 30 years in Greensboro, NC where I did a lot of flying - RC and Real airplanes - and now I am retired here, at the beach, but have not been able to give up the hobby... have a nice field and a group of very nice people to fly with. RC guys are the best...
Stay well...
