Piper Cub J3 Beginners Guide Part 1

[rusherman]

Great video. I just ordered one of these today. I wanted to start with something that I wouldn't feel like I lost an investment when I crashed it. Yes, I'm not so naive to think I'm not going to auger in a few times. I'm hoping this will give me a good starting point with R/C planes.

@nuttcaze that is da biggest heli ive ever seen! nice

[mopamoney2]

[kristofer091994]

cool

[Slayer10000000000]

thanks a lot, very helpful 5 star vid. you have me sold because i was looking for something very easy to put together.

[puggster]

im actualy doing the reverse from you lol

i started out with planes like 17 years ago

now ive just got my first 420 class heli

a blade 400

ive had some fixed pitch heli experience and about a year training on a flight sim for helis

starting out on a new plane or heli is a interesting process lol

have fun

[burns10001]

how much fly time do u get?

[nuttcaze]

I used to get around 5-6mins of flight depending on if I flew at full throttle all the time.

[14MorrisonB]

Where and are replacement parts (fuselage, tail assembly, wing, propellers) available for this plane?

[nuttcaze]

at nitroplanes

[mandolinplayer13]

is this whole thing made out of foam?

[BluePaddleProduction]

@mandolinplayer13 no its kindof different its plastic that feels like those bigwheel toys thats reinforced with foam

[744682532]

Mine wasn't. Mine is all foam and the nose was not reinforced at all and it was hollow. Two crashes the plane was broke into pieces. I had to duct tape together, so I could continue to fly. I'm going to buy material and build a stronger fuselage, once I get comfortable flying it, I'll buy a replacement fuselage.

thanks for this! really helped!

i want to get one of these for christmas! :D

[paintballdude26]

thanks alot this vid is very helpful

[Dillpickle427]

i have the plane and it is awesome

[Dillpickle427]

is the main body plastic or foam because it looks plastic

[GrovesendBoi13]

Im probably going to buy this plane, but before i do i would like to know if any parts of the plane are made of polostyerene

[nuttcaze]

its all foam

[blurb72]

does it come with thread locker and do you have to put it on?

[Rcflyer71]

hey great vid man, i suggest since you probably have a spectrum transmitter wether it be dx6 dx5 or whatever you should put a different reciever in that is better then teh crappy one they supple. i used mine for like 2 weeks at the most and the reciever burner out. just a suggestion

[nuttcaze]

its a liquid you apply to the threads of a screw before putting it on, it dries and locks the threads preventing the screw from loosening up because of vibrations

[blurb72]

what is a thread locker? pls answer back asap

[startazz]

great job Mark,you will love the planes mate as i started on heli's which i have about 6 now but a good few more planes,i bet you will find it really easy to fly that model of plane compared to your heli's man so good luck mate and look forward to the maiden flight,5*

[junglist278]

good job mark. newbies should get alot out these videos. keep up the great work

[wildhover]

wow, you got a sponsor now. my friend just recently got me hooked on fixed wing aircraft. at first, i was never really interested in flying anything but heli's, but now my planes outnumber them in my garage. i destroyed my first plane trying to land it, but now that i have the landings down, i'm having more fun with the planes (so much less stress when i just want to kick back and relax). good luck on taking her up. im sure you will get just as addicted as i am. 5 stars man.

[zenithbay]
