@SvenOkonomi I wasn't calling you an idiot, sorry if it came across that way. I just thought to mention it since I didn't see it posted. I do know if you try to use heavy props on an electric it can stress the bearings to failure. I had a Gens Ace motor here I've flown 2 batteries through and it started making noise. I threw it away. I would rather waste a motor than a whole plane, then again I build balsa kits, and am not keen on ruining 80 hours of build for a $30 USD motor.
@kurtisk84 You think im an idiot? Ofcourse I balanced the prop, even balanced the motor bell itself. Didnt change a thing, as soon as higher RPM hit, the damn thing started shaking loose.. Im guessing a combination of heavy prop and weak frame was causing some messed up reactions.
the darn shenanigans this thing put up. May of been due to a failing BEC in the ESC. You may of been having a Brown-Out! Your flight mirrored my FunCub flights and Crashes! When I changed my ESC to a New Castle Creations 50 AMP ESC It suddenly flew good! No More Brown-Outs! When I crashed the Radio Receiver Light would be flashing upon Recovery!
@carboncubss I stalled it, plain and simple. ;) Im not used to these big planes, smaller foamies are much more forgiving. This large lug was relentless though, I read that gunning throttle and pushing the opposite direction of the stall spin without pulling up immediately would stabilize it to a level out. Unfortunately it didnt stop spinning.
@RCracingLimburg Ik had gelezen dat je gas moest geven zodat er meer lucht over je roeren gestuwd wordt en je hem er zo uit kunt trekken, maar helaas hing hij zo laag dat het niet meer mocht baten. Hij is inmiddels ook weer verkocht, zulk soort modellen is echt niets voor mij. ;)
Oddly enough the CG was where the manual stated it should be. ;) But looking back on it, yeah the weight should have been more in the front. It was the motormount woe's that made me sell it though.
It did have a nasty tendency to "nose up" in banked turns, so I too suspect CG was off. At any rate I didn't enjoy flying this thing one minute. Too much of a struggle wrangling it through the turns. I do have a whopping huge 70" blackhorse piper cub that someone gave me for free, but frankly I'm too scared to stick money in it, fearing it ll be the funcub all over again. After the funcub fiasco I reverted back to small foamies and more recently some multicopters.
@jimnrel That was thanks to heaving loads of carbon sticks my friends and I stuck inside the nose in an attempt to stop the motor from yanking itself loose again. ;)
@realmavi Then you may explain why my expensive Hyperion motor had a magnet failure on the 2nd battery, and has been replaced with a turnigy motor for over 2 years now. ;) Or why my castle creations ESCs have both smoked up and have been replaced by equal size turnigy plush ESCs for a year now. Quality doesn't come with price.
@realmavi I think its cheap crappy propellers and crooked spinners that were to blame on my cub. I was using cheap APC knockoffs and chinese spinners and those gave me a ton of vibration. Ive never had a hit of vibration on real APC props or even GWS ones. Its just weird that way, you just have to keep looking for that one perfect combo, the one holy grail. ;)
i threw away my eflite park 450 motor.....prop shaft just bent hitting the soft grass. no damage to the plane.....it stayed on its wheels even. then the bad vibrations started.....threw off the battery hatch/cowl in flight.....never did find it. eflite motors suck . get a good one.
caguitas0 LUIS MARTINEZ hay que tener cuidado con las stalleadas, lo peor que puede hacer uno es elevar el avion con viento a favor, hay que meterle el churro. Es simple, si nos agarra un viento de cola de 25km/h y el avion va volando a unos 40km/h respecto a tierra, a simple vista va rapido, pero la velocidad del aire sera de solo 15km/h en el avion, y si tratamos de hacer un viraje o elevamos el avion nos puede pasar esto, y si checan el piloto le metio churro y ni asi salio de la barrena. Otra cosa que he pensado y con lo que he visto es que toda acrobacia que se haga hay que hacerla con viento en contra preferentemente, si hacemos unos rolls con viento cruzado es mucho la presión en las alas ya que el aire no lo va cortando el avion como si fuera en contra. al igual que los loops. Y ni se diga una maniobra con viento de cola
Muy buena recomendación. Que buen chingazo le puso al Fun Cub.!!! Para ese rollo yo soy bien culichi y todo el tiempo me aseguro de donde viene el viento. Nunca despego con el viento a favor y cuando estoy volando dentro del viento a favor, lo primero que pienso es como salirme de esa situación lo más pronto posible y lo hago.!!! Los accidentes que he tenido son por errores de pilotaje. Cuando empezamos a volar en la otra pista, seguido pasaba que se "estoleaban" aviones a los nuevos pilotos,!!! A punta de golpe aprende uno o aprende.!!! Saludos y gracias por compatir.!!
I also had a FunCub that didn't fly that well. I flew another guy's and it flew great, and our CG was the same for both airplanes. I never figured out why mine flew terrible and his flew great. Either way, I am glad to get rid of mine too. As for your crash, could it be possible that it was tail heavy? A tail heavy airplane will have a tendency to get into a spin easier and is often unrecoverable. Just a thought. Don't give up on the big planes though. They normally fly so much better.
Telling me to read the manual while you fail to read the video description. Priceless. But ill save you the trouble, CoG was as recommended by the manual..
You guys talking about vibrations...you are aware theres a nice cheap tool called a prop balancer, right? NEVER fly a plane with vibrations. APC props are dirt cheap, and usually are balanced right out of the package, but I still check them. An unbalanced prop can ruin the best of motors. Also, Dubro spinners are cheap and balanced well out of the package. I hate to see anyone ruin a plane just because a prop was causing vibrations...also, cheap motors are ok these days.
to an able pilot, nothing is more frustrating then a numb, nose heavy plane. who wants to fly a plane that handles like a fully loaded mini-van? no thanks. i'll take a rear heavy plane that handles like a rear heavy porsche any day
first off.....it was windy....and its a light airplane! second....you tip stalled it...into whats called a death spiral....3rd.....they put oversize props on these planes to get the performance....if not balanced....you will get vibration.....if everything is balanced....there should be no issues with vibration at all!

@JockeGPz750 I balanced everything, right down to the motor bell. This thing has gremlins in it. :(

May of been due to a failing BEC in the ESC.
You may of been having a Brown-Out!
Your flight mirrored my FunCub flights and Crashes!

Oh lookout, we've got a badass over here... get lost kid.

i want to buy, wt is the coast??
Oddly enough the CG was where the manual stated it should be. ;) But looking back on it, yeah the weight should have been more in the front. It was the motormount woe's that made me sell it though.
Perhaps you should bother reading the description.
CG was right where the manual told me it should be.

Jammer dat je verkoopt. Maar misschien een stomme vraag. Hoe moet je hem eigenlijk sturen als je hem uit de spiraal wil krijgen?
@realmavi I think its cheap crappy propellers and crooked spinners that were to blame on my cub. I was using cheap APC knockoffs and chinese spinners and those gave me a ton of vibration.

Im with you on that one, especially on deltawings its nice to have a light ass. ;)

yep...it was very tail heavy......it just stopped flying.....

dice LUIS MARTINEZ que ya falta poco pa que venga, vamos a ver si es cierto... :p
Órale, ojala; para hacer un video con todos sus aviones, en su nuevo "look" y el de PFV que estas haciendo,!! :)
Seems like you were fly too slow and no flaps....looked like she was barely staying afloat...
i've never had a CG be correct in a manual in most cases :( usually needs major adjusting

tail heavy... your nose goes up when your banking. Pitty you sold yours looked good while it flew :D
Did you balance the prop?

@realmavi One who still believes more expensive means better performance eh? ;)
@nandodemon ...huh?
landed
Fun Cubs seem to have a very poor, unreliable design. I wish Multiplex made their products better :(
