Are you using the Li-Ion slots on the cube or Nano-Phos cards?

I have three A123 ports and 2 Li-ion

You shouldn't charge A123 on the green LION cards. You need to use the Red A123 cards for that.

Okay...stupid question! Li-ion ports and a123 ports on same cube? I have two open ports on my cube.

Mokken

My Feedback: (63)

Yep, you can have any combination of both cards. I ordered mine with 3-A123, and 2-Li-ion as I still had a plane using them, now I don't use them at all.

Are the TBM nano (just like A123s) any good? Guy. thank you for all the info, I learned lots tonight!

Mokken

My Feedback: (63)

I don't think the TBM nano are actual A123 cells, but the other guys. I made all my packs by using Dewalt 36v packs and stripping the cells out, you can make 5 packs for around $130

I am recovering mine this winter and want to re do it.

Did anyone CUT it into the top and bottom of the FUSE?

Thanks.

I used RC 56, but was wondering if anybody cut into the FUSE for a smoother look.

Thanks

I glued mine on with Canopy glue and then used Red and white electrical tape along the edges.

I just ordered a RCS 90cc from TBM ( $285 BLACK FRIDAY SALE). What is the distance from the firewall to tbe back plate on the Clipped Wing Cub? I had been on the fence between a 55 or 111 DLE and was leaning towards the 111 but the price on the RCS 90cc was just too GOOD.....hope the engine is also!

I assume you need to take the plugs out when installing the cowl? Can you tell me what the width of the heads are with and without the plugs, just trying to decide on a twin for my super cub. I'm debating on a few engines:

DA-100
3W-85B2
3W-70B2
TMM-106
DL-100

I'm not looking to 3d at 1/2 throttle but love having more than enough power for vertical lines, I'm also looking to minimize butchering the cowl. Which one gives me the best chance of fitting the cowl and sufficient power for vertical lines??

Thx..

jbarnes

The DL and DA will require the plugs to be removed to slip on the cowl. It barely fits but it does fit. The DA 85 would be the best solution in my mind if you fly at sea level. The DL at 5400' is almost unlimited vertical, the 85 would provide the same performance at sea level I would assume. Jerry.

I do have a DA-85 but did not want to cut out the bottom of the cowl to have that huge head sticking out. I was now thinking about using a twin instead. I thought the 3W-85b2 would be a good fit, just hard to find as they don't make them anymore. I don't mind the plugs sticking out the sides but would prefer the heads hidden inside the cowl.

zdsh13

I purchased my motor, I ended up buying a 2nd hand 3W-78i b2... Looking at the dimensions I think I can keep everything inside without cutting the cowl but will have to wait till the engine arrives.

I also purchased some gear for the WM super cub based on the Wallace gear. Looking forward to getting both parcels in....

Very nice. I had a set made by someone else, they did not hold up very well. I look forward to seeing yours installed before I pull the trigger on a new set.

That engine should be perfect.. I'm waiting for Henry at http://www.rcaer.com/index.cfm to release his 70cc twin.

Note to everyone: Locktite your wheel collars and grind the strut so the set screw has something to bite into to.





Lost the wheel on takeoff so I flew around for photo ops and to burn off some of the 32 oz fuel and all of the 50oz smoke. Then came in for a one wheel landing (my first). Plane didn't flip over and I killed the engine prior to landing so the prop wouldn't hit the ground if/when the strut snagged the ground. Basically I came in gliding and the landed on one wheel. Tried to hold it off and almost made it till I slowed enough so the strut wouldn't snag......well I dropped the wing a tad too early and it did snag but no damage!!!!

Thanks JohnVH for snapping the results.

Same thing happened to me. But was lucky, the wheel came off while taxiing back to the pad.

sweetpea01

My Feedback: (10)

What I neglected to mention is that the week prior the same wheel fell off on the rollout of landing and I broke my prop on that one. I just added loctite and tightened the set screw down......basically got lazy and didn't do what I knew I should have done from the start.....etch the strut!

jbarnes

What I do is drill the axle to accept a cotter pin. Use a punch to set a mark on the end of the axle and drill a 1/16" hold through the axle to put a small cotter pin in. You won't be losing any wheels after you do that. Jerry.

What air pump & adapter do you guys use to fill the Dubro air tires? I was given a partially built B USA Cub and the tires feel a bit too soft. Thanks!

Billy

My Feedback: (15)

I use a bvm fill valve connected to a small piece of 3mm air line which is then connected to the fill valve that Dubro gives you with their tires. I like mine soft so it doesn't take much air. I have a portable air compressor from Home Depot. I just burp it a bit and they are filled.

Hey guys, I have the Hanger 9 1/4 scale pnp cub. I have had it know for about two years. I absolutley love it... I know am thinking seriously about getting either the Wm super cub or the clipped wing. Which one do you think. I guess the Clipped wing would be more action. Feedback please.

Thanks,
Billy

Thanks Billy! I've got a Dubro fill valve coming, but what's a 'bvm fill valve'?
