i fly mine tail heavy and they are all old cubs this is way tp tail heavy i dont care what expert told you it wasnt listen to your wife go fishing

[aerialboy55]

@g6rcteam I think you mean too* and i assure you it was not tail heavy. We even made sure of it. Plus why would my mom tell us to go fishing? Fishing isn't fun. Planes are fun. Fruit.

I dont think the radio was bad, this is called a torque roll i think, it happens when you dont have enough speed during take off. this has happened to me several times until a friend of mine advised to gain as much speed as possible during take off and oh surprise the plane flew straight and level

[aerialboy55]

@masso172, This had happened with another plane too, but Maybe troque is it. We'll never find out now though. Thanks.

Yea it would of flown differently is it was tail heavy. It would of purposed like shit.!!!up/down/up/down!!! Ask me how i know.!!!

Id say AiL were reversed? Were oyu on 72mhz? or 2.4?

[aerialboy55]

@eastcoast78 At this time it was 72 mhz, everything was operating correctly, the radio was glitchy on take off with the last plane and unfortunately this one.

holding to much up elevator on take-off run,resulting in low take-off speed,early take-off and tip stall,take -off run apply power release up elevator as speed increases tail up,up on the mains,and bobs your uncle,been flying cubs for years,they can bite you if not careful.good luck....

[masso172]

@aerialboy55 yall dont give up, i know it feels like having an ice cream cone and the ice cream falls off before you can take the first bite buuut its all part of the show

always check the control surfaces ALWAYS,,,,airelons looked wrong to this ole fart,,not the reciever

[1Flammenwerfer]

The tail never came up first on takeoff. Looks like he had full up elevator the whole way. Maybe experienced in flying a more powerful plane that will jump off the ground, but this cub was way under powered to be forced into the air.

Looks like it just stalled it right off the bat. Poor thing was 'hanging' on the prop as soon as it left the ground.

Properly trimmed, those things will fly them selves right off the ground with little elevator input providing it has enough air speed.

Bummer.
