[subhannasir1]

where did you get the landing gear from?

[ratty8411]

@subhannasir1 Made it  from sheet alu. :-)

[PZSpitSquad]

Very nice Cub, do you have any pics or video showing how the wing is fixed on. Thanks, John

[N44949]

did you make or buy the skis? i want them!

[ratty8411]

Made them, I don't think you can buy ski's.

[N44949]

oh alright - i live in new england so winter flying is a majority of flight time.

[ratty8411]

Well, all you need is a sheet of plastic that you can cut to the right length and then with a heat gun bend the front and back. Plactic weld or epoxie on a wheel mount so the ski can rotate like a wheel and the use some small rubber bands to fix the in place like you can see here. Hope that helps and happy flying. :-)

[N44949]

Ok - cool. Thanks for the reply I appreciate it. Im gonna try to buy skis and modify them from the internet. Thanks again - Andrew Hanover, Massachusetts

@ratty8411 yea sure oyu can,Google..... du-Bro skis super cub

[jeflatt]

where did the hardware for the flaps come from, I am trying to put those kind of flaps on my brushless cub, but I don't know how to do the hinges

[napalmm101]

I coated my SuperCub with fiberglass sheeting and polycrilic....takes a hell of a beating. Spektrum dx5 radio and hs 81 servos. Flys great, much better than stock. The 450 outrunner gets here in a week!

[williamsonj7]

you have made an awesome super cub.. I just dont understand how to match up a new battery and motor with the exisiting radio equipment. ? any suggestions.

[ratty8411]

Well, are you trying to fit a brushless motor and Lipo Battery to standard HZ Cub radio equipment? That would be a wast of time. Mail me and tell me what you are trying to achieve. Then I can advise you on what I would do.

[Cublauser]

Forget about the stock radio equipment ! Alle is home made. Step by Step Development !!!

[RcAntax]

does this plane have rudder on the main wings stock?

[ratty8411]

No, the HZ cub only comes with elevator and rudder. This plane is modified in many ways.

[itssssssme]

Nice job. How are you holding the wing on without the bands?

[ratty8411]

Hi and thanks, The wing is held on with a plastic nut and bolt.

[Ash7164]

Hi ratty, I'm even more impressed that its home made. Undercarriage is very close to original piper cub. Good work :) Now I will have to make use of all the broken spare carbon rods I have from my esky honeybee king 2 training gear sets.

[Ash7164]

Hi, Firstly let just say what a fine job you've made of all the modifications. Could you possibly tell me the make of the undercarriage and motor mount. Also did you have any problems mounting the motor with right and down offset?

[ratty8411]

Thank I'm glad you like it.

The undercarriage is home made, like everything on the cub. I used 1mm alu sheet and carbon rod. Then painted the it all. As for the motor mount, all I did there is use the same offset as the original.(Motormount is also home made from carbon. There is a new one on the table as we speak, but is is still a little way off. I will post it as soon as I have finished her.

Keep Flying :-)

[gavinleet]

Could you send me a link on the flap hinges please? Thanks :)

[ratty8411]

Hi, Sorry for the late reply. I don't have a link for the hinges as we make them ourself.

[burtonrider316]

not to be a dick or anything but that type of flap is called single slot. :)

[MonkeyWeazelFilms]

Is there a forum or a webpage where you guys document your modification processes?

I would really like to see more of how you develop and implement these ideas.

[Talent533]

Hey, I'm doing a scratch built Brushless Super Cub and would like to know where can I get the motor mount you had in on your Cub? It's the final piece of the puzzle.

[ratty8411]

Hi Talent533, It's home made like all our mod's.

There is a uni mount you can get from hobby shops that should work fine. (But they are heavy) Hope you post your cub, so we can have a look. Keep flying :-)

[firebirdcdr]

That's a Nice looking cub

[serutcip1]
