2010-05-23 MPX Funcub Maiden

my Blog with more infos: http://RCSchim.blogspot.com

After a day full of wind the evening hours presented a time window to perform a nice maiden for my newest plane in the hangar: MPX Funcub.
She really deserves the name! Find more infos on the plane here: http://rcschimhangar.blogspot.com/2010/05/multiplex-funcub.html

Nach einem Tag voller Wind gabs letztendlich ein Windfreies Zeitfenster am Abend für einen tollen Erstflug für mein neuestes Flugzeug im Hangar. Die MPX Funcub verdient ihren Namnen. Mehr Infos zum Flugzeug gibts hier: http://rcschimhangar.blogspot.com/2010/05/multiplex-funcub.html

und natürlich auf meinem Blog: http://RCSchim.blogspot.com

Nice vid. At least you were flying correctly. You flew it very stable. About the most realistic video I've seen of the funcub. (I've seen some really dangerous moves with this model, its still a powerful motor/prop). I beleive it may have been your maiden flight. You look like u'v been flying for a long time, like me, lol.

@martinhoy1

thanks. Yes it were my first flights with this model. I like it to fly the FC very slow passing the runway on our flightfield - or with the floats on the lake now in summer. On the lake I always get a bit nervous because suddenly everyone there swimming or standing on the beach watches my flying :-)

I fly since around 2008.

maiden flight?????.....come on dude. nobody takes and does a loop without trimming and landing new plane first. maybe the maiden video.....but sure not the maiden flight.

It's been some time no so my memory isn't that good about these flights. Maybe I cut together more flights. But the Funcub was set up quite good from the start - I did just small trims while flying and a loop isn't the hardest thing to do with such a plane. And: it's only foam - maybe this is where the confidence comes from :-)

Do you think an e-flite brushless 480 1020kv motor would power this thing?

@CLayaway1

H, I'm not sure about this motors specs so try to find out how much thrust it has. I'd use an 10x6 or 10x7 prop maybe but you can do the numbers with the free programm called drivecalc!

Actually I have an himax motoe with 400watts and 10x7 prop thats great for it...

Nice Video. Nice airfield with birds whistling... :)

Lovely video! Just a quickie to martinhoy:que?What dangerous moves?And couldn´t those moves have been made with:quick shot here,an artech cessna?

I used to kill innocent bystanders with that little piece of foam!And it´s dangerous chinese motor!

Hi. Please watch my Vid "RCSchim: MPX Funcub Waterplan ONBOARD" - here you see it flying with floats - they would also work as skies on snow. Only problem: with snow comes low temps - not good for my fingers - so I didn't try it yet :-)

I like the short takeoffs and lands capability of this plane. performance and fun. Can't wait to buy one. I crashed a multiplex glider before so I stayed away from foam and multiplex. I guess Its time to get back.
