Default RE: New Hangar 9 1/4 Scale P 18 Super Cub


ORIGINAL: bikerbc

I am also curious about your 8'' bush wheels and would like to see a pic.. What did you use for and axel? I was going to go to DuBro's 1/3 scale Cub wheels and I might yet but I haven't picked up a lynch pin for an axel.. Personally I like Du-Bro's 1/3 scale Cub wheels .. I am finding that with the bigger wheels I am having trouble stopping the plane when I come into the pits.. Just a real low idol and it wants to keep rolling...You almost need brakes...It rolls so easy now.. I expect with bigger wheels it would be even worse...You for sure need an on board kill switch...This is on a 1/4 scale Sig J3 Cub with a OS Max120 FS . I have Robart gear on it so it is quite similar to our PA18's

If you'll PM me w/ an Email address I'll send you a couple of pics of mine w/ the DuBro 1/3 Cub wheels. I'd be glad to post them here, but w/ my new 'puter w/ Windows 8 I can't figure out how to get them off my iphone to 'puter to here.
