RE: Hangar 9 1/4 Scale Piper Cub ARF???

Try the air filled Dubro 6 inch tires. The best aftermarket addition one can make on the plane. Very scale and it will save your stock gear springs. I have many flights on my stock gear with the...

RE: Hangar 9 1/4 Scale Piper Cub ARF???

Hi, I'm running a power 160 on 10s with a 18x10 prop. Getting 13 min of slow flight. If I go to a 18x8 would I get more flight time? I'd still be at 2100 watts on the 18x8. Would have to turn the...

RE: Hangar 9 1/4 Scale Piper Cub ARF???

Look a tad bit big. I think the 6 inch dubros work well for much less money plus the look more scale. Also the dubros are 1 pound for both so they are lighter.......just my 2 cents.

RE: Hangar 9 1/4 Scale Piper Cub ARF???

Just my opinion here but a removable tray with thumb screws in the front is an easy way to get the lipos in and out. Also you need to dremmel out some width under the dashboard. Most of us fit 2...

My landing in the video was the roughest of the 6 that day.....absolutely no spring issues combined with those tires. The tires do an amazing job at softening the landing.
