The Piper Cub, an old-man's RC plane

[j3cubdriver]

You fly it again post us another video!  I will try to post a reply video if I can ever get mine ready to go again!

[aceflyernz]

I thought it was great flying, it's me!

[temp911Luke]

Nice plane. How far can that plane go ?

[Danielkchoi]

3:00 So THAT's where the jet noises were coming from.

[j3cubdriver]

Nice, Did I miss the knife edge?

[aceflyernz]

@j3cubdriver Bruce must have missed the knife edge, it does knife edge really well. I haven't flown it for about four years now so it's about time I blew the dust off it I think.

[jimnrel]

Hi Bruce, do you know who made this bird??

[xjet]

@jimnrel It's a World-Models ARF. Lance put this one together.

[c0lyn0]

Piper cubs are great fun, this is how they're meant fly!

[ZamizoEmpire]

Great!!!!

[gwsslowstick]

Yeah I see real Cubs do that stuff all the time. :p That thing is AWSOME!!!! Very cool my man.

[jw16e4]

man, it wasn't until half ways into the movie i realized it was a model. (when he started stalling)

[microdon2]

NICE!! About TIME someone put some POWER inside a Cub!! Very nice flying, too - that hover made me LOL!! Just TWO things I would have liked to see - some good inverted flying and some PANTS on that guy!!!  (weird...)

[roosterinboro]

Hovering with a Cub...sacrilege! Looks goofy as hell, a Cub doing that, but I bet he had fun...

[slider2732]

LMAO at the prop hanging..excellent :)

[joecam905]

i love old planes.i used to build them ;its was alot of fun.my friends use to fly them ;i got to see my efforts come to life!! thing of beauty!! also like to hear them run.

thanks for showing...i never did fly any of planes.

[Meeeerte]

Old man piping a wife! :D

[marlscarvin]

i bet that cub landing gear that Robart makes would look nice on that. and save some wear on the fuse. i had the 1/5 scale clipped by world models and after about three gallons of gas the landing gear pushed up through the fuse.

picked up another one and am going to set it up right this time

[ThePawnee]

bäääää....wenn ich den fliegen seh muss ich kotzen...

[thechoosendude]

Jet starting up caught me off guard. Almost started thinking that Cub had some pep to it.

[rccardude04]

Yes! Do you know how hard it is to find someone who actually attempts any kind of aerobatics with a Cub???

I'm going to buy the 1/5 version just because of this video LOL

Awesome.

[jaymillwall]

you have some good vids here.

cheers

[cossieno]

Finally one who has discovered the cubs capabilities.. it is an exellent aerobatic plane, a little slow movement, but still...

[devno9904]

@cossieno +1 I love to fly the cub-such a smooth flying airframe that can cause permanent grins!

[WebsterFlyers]

How are the wings held on your plane

[maloneproduction]

I have this plane. the one i have the wings are held by rubber bands. But thats me.

[jballzzz]

That is a very nice airplane! That's how flying should be, nice and easy,...relaxed, BUT GUARDED!...yet relaxed.

[honeybees1]

I have the same plain but never flew it.That was sweet I love that plain nice flying.

[xxkil]

why were the jet powered sounds added good vid ruined by the crap jet sound

[xjet]

Because it was filmed at a jet meeting -- there were a whole bunch of turbine-powered models there as well. You can see them in my other videos.

[pyroking01]

that thing has just enough power i have a 1/6th (.46 size)scale cub and its way underpowered and weighs a good 8lbs and flies like crap lol. Gunna put the stuff into a .40 size Maule (ohh yeah all electric)

[BRC450]

Too much power? No such thing, thats like too much money or poon-tang, Never happen.

[PatBALEX]

Great flying!! And I like the JET sound it makes... Ha Ha

[sushidude123]

its an rc airfield,turbine rc planes were there too

[PatBALEX]

I know..Just having a little fun... :)

[phippsa3]

Haha nice flying mate.

[eddyvergara]

nice flyt good coordination....hi

[krbosak]

Nice flight but landing should be much cleaner.

[pu4naa]

its very ridicules because the piper j3cub isent not for acrobatics

trash

[NEDEWSRAC]

PU4naa: get the fk out..!

[pesterkester]

lol it isnt an old man's rc plane..ive got 2 piper cubs and im only 15 years old...1/5th scale and a hobbico flyzone

[Stafford12345]

this guy is fuckin good!

[jazztrmpr94]

Nice plane.

[RalleTaildragger]

Nice vid. Seems as if you were inspired by that turbine in the background depending you engine choice. Anyway- it's always good to know to have enough power.

[heribert37]

great video

greets from ger.

[chrisfev01]

Why oh why would you fly a Cub in such a manor??? Someone please confiscate that man's transmitter before he does it again!

[rogieee]

Get away that was cool !
