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

(Formerly) Ace Flier thinks his 1/4-scale World Models Piper Cub is actually a cross between a pylon racer and an IMAC aerobatics plane. Just as well that ASP180 is fed with a good diet of our excellent fuel.

Doesn't he fly it just like the real thing?

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

[xjet]

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

[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.

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

[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.

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!

@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.

[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?

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

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