HobbyZone SuperCub Flaps & Ailerons Demo

[topgun2016]

dude... you need to give a tutorial on how to paint the SC...!!

[Fsimfreak]

Can I like pay you to paint my cub?

[ljdcrazy13]

Hey man, it would be great if you could make a fkight video! Thanks.

[nighthawk0077]

One of the best cubs i've seen, flaps are kinda pointless though since it already takes off in a pinch, and landings are super slow and gradual stock...Ailerons should help in windy conditions when this thing is all over the sky :)

[999benhonda]

looks great. now just add spoilerons, air brakes, bomb bay door.....

what did you use to paint it?

[twilightteevee]

would of been better is you showed the controls at the same time... you know to help beginers like me understand the controls better.

[Purepain76]

Hi what is the length of the ailerons and can you tell me how far the inner cut Is from the fusalage thanks ?

[peytmanningfan]

wow nice plane and WUT A PAINT JOB!!! nice work

[rustyjohnson1]

SCREW the negativity ... GREAT JOB !!!!!!!

[superhornetfan]

kinda pointless dont you think

[onemassiveattack]

No actually, if your into scale then why not? I have just added flaps to my P-51 faomy, it dosnt need them sure but it sure looks good with them down on the final aproach...

[ljdcrazy13]

What controller are you using? Spectrum?

[onemassiveattack]

I think the slower you can land the better, which is why i use flaps or flaperons on all my planes, anything that lowers the stall speed is got to be good... that is also a scale plane so using flaps gives more of a scale feel.

[siresoul2]

Why would you put flaps on that plane it is slow as it is ?? it does not need flaps but that is what i think

[blackcarreraGT]

Well putting all this on means he prolly put on a brushless motor and reduced the weight so then it will be faster..

[jodasile2]

what kind of front wheels are those? and, do they fit in the cub without modifications?

[remotecontrolaholic]

love the paint scheme

[greedyg76]

do you have any flight video testing the flaps?

[unicyclerider15]

did you just use normal spray paint? because if i paint mine im afraid spraypaint will eat up the foam and ruin it.

[PPPatrickWWW]

what a lot of people do is try a little paint on a non important part of the plane, or if you have extra parts/foam. just to see if it eats it. but yes, some spray paint will eat foam. i know that people use krylon but i cant remember which types, i know that some have used H20 and fusion.

[imsofaman]

Flight Video Please!!!!

[sslusshy]

Wow flaps that looks like fun to fly!

[spikedad11]

looks cool nice job!

[pilotnerd101]

what is the best way to make clean cuts in the foam. When i tried to make ailerons, it was a pretty hilarious disaster.

[krbosak]

rcgroups?

[shimon174b]

to Pilotnerd101, I like a long handle (and long blade) Knife (the cheap kind) from the hardware store. The blade slides in and out of the end of the plastic handle. If you get lucky, you may find a 3-pack with 3 sizes.

[pianoplayer4]

Nice job, and the paint looks awesome!

[ryan098098]

I agree....

[CubworksLL]

So do I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CommandoJoeB]

what paint do you apply to the foam? the stock paint scheme and decalse suck.

[Cublauser]

Hi,

look here. This Flaps are working rally well.

[socomrocks03]

will a regular supercub have that?

[elvedin555]

whats this about hobbyzone cub with flaps :) who cares...

[hatakekakashi1914]

Will an Electristar be ok for a second plane since ive tottaly mastered the Super Cub.

[monster271]

Are you talking about the plane that has the same power as a .40 gas one, but is electric?

[hatakekakashi1914]

yea

[monster271]

It's a fast flyer, but easy to control with 4 channels. If you can afford it, and afford to crash it once or twice, then have at it. :)

[hatakekakashi1914]

ok... but i think ill join a club.

[mustangwkc]

rip out all your servos, get parkzone t-28, put them in it instead

[hatakekakashi1914]

how do u ad it...? i realy wanna add ailerons to mine but i dont know how...

plz hlp

[mustangwkc]

dude just get a new plane

[perro123123]

how can the tail and the alorons move independently

[crzygutrsnobrdr]

it's called servo's

[7356205]

hly crap did you hear him give it throttle at the end? (00:33) haha just kidding

[w5kfg]

Could you post a vid of the workings on your flap and aileron setup

[satinsilverk20a2]

uh do you fly it? apparently not since theres not a video of it...

[andrewbradford]

the flaps would be excellent for getting caught in a headwind or from behind one, i like to take my slo-v and get caught in a breeze,

[Duckyistrippin]

supercub is addicting. they are soo relaxing to fly. i love slow flyers and this thing just takes the cake.

what are the flaps for? does it make it fly slower or what?

[Thumanator]

How much slower does it get?

It's probably more of looks than use, but I don't know

[theRIAA]

outside loops probably

[Duckyistrippin]

outside loops scare me... lol

[Goetmhmiac]

Great inspiration, I have all the bits on my desk to do the same conversion. Did you reduce the wing dihedral or keep it standard?

[baroud13]

nice job on that

would you mind looking at mine

[Lonelycosmos]

Rod, any chance we could see this beauty in action. You've done an awesome job!!!

I think you're ready for some brushless power!! :D

[youmanskids]

looks sweet, lets see it fly and do some rolls. waiting for your next video.

[tlawaltmustang]

Instead of spending all that cash on a trainer, why not move up to a brushless 4-chanel or 5-chanel??

[Lonelycosmos]

I take it you've never flown the Supercub! Its just such a mellow and wonderful plane. Easier is not always less.

[TakanoriChan]

Thats ausome!!! great paint scheme, i plan on doing an old 1st air commando group paint job on mine

[620sly]

is this the hobby zone supercub

[Skivbot48]

I love it, and want to do that to mine.

[gavinleet]
