Very nice looking cub and some nice flying! A bit out of scale but what the heck sometimes it’s just fun too ripe up the sky a bit. I just picked up a 12 year old 110 inch wing span 1/4 scale yellow cub with a 26cc single gasoline engine spinning an 18-8 prop. I’ve had it running but won’t be flying it until the spring. Purchased from the master scratch builder who made it. He is 90 now and has just packed in Flying RC. I hope I can still be flying into my 80s and beyond.
GBLynden's RC To me the profile of a cub in the sky is one of the most beautiful things the eyes can admire. I use to sit at the airport for hours waiting for a local J3 to return to base just to watch it do downwind, base, final and land. Even the taxi in to park was a thing of beauty to me. I wanted to fly a cub so bad I could taste it. I did not know how I would ever afford a cub. But soon I had Devine intervention and an idea was born. Soon I had a paid for J3 without my household monthly budget changing one cent and no loss of cash on hand. I only had five years left on a seven year mortgage, so I refinanced to 12 years, had the same monthly house payment but netted $4,800 to buy my first of many Cubs for $4,500 back in 1977. The rest of the money went to flying lessons at $10 an hour and aviation gas at 79 cents a gallon or $3.00 per hour at 3.8 gallons per hour. Those were the days and I spent many hours enjoying that cub on lazy afternoons and late evenings. So you can see why I still love seeing the shape of a J3 Cub against the sky. Happy flying!
How times have changed. My dad bought our '49 C-170A back in 1971 for $4250. I was 6yo then. I ended up selling it for nearly 10x that much back in 2005. By then my dad had passed away and I didnt have the time to stay proficient. Our dirt runway was 10' x 1250' with electric wires on approach. They're was very little room for error, better safe than sorry. Now I have the time and I'm sorry I sold it! Oh well. The experimental class has some interesting aircraft! Cheaper, too.
G'day that flying was very realistic it's a beautiful plane and really looks great in the air. Who ever did the filming did a very good job it's not easy to keep the plane focused and no shaking. I used to fly RC when I was 16 and built a 172 Cessna with a 8ft wing span but I haven't flown for years I am now 60 and suffer with RA however I still love watching them. Kind regards John Tasmania Australia
Thanks John! I was the guy recording the flight while my buddy was doing his thing. It has taken a lot of practice to keep the camera this steady, so your comment is appreciated. If you are ever in Western Washington, let me know.
This is the plane I was telling you about, it really is beautiful. when I pulled it out of the box I was surprised at how scale it is. Mine is this same plane just in the blue trim instead of red. I still need to get the engine and the electronics. I'm thinking about doing the lights also to make it really scale looking.
K.G. RC I didn't realize you had already purchased it. Which engine are you going with? I've thought about getting the PNP version with the Evolution 33gx. All it needs is a receiver. I was looking at that new Great Planes Citabria, but they say the landing gear and firewall are problematic.
No worries, I'm going with the evo 33 also I seen the video with the 33 and it flew pretty well. You should get one as well, it would be pretty cool with two giants flying at the same time. It really is a nice one.
I just picked up one of these never flown for $50. Making it 10 cell electric and hope to get it flying by next weekend. A few critical parts haven't shown up in time for this weekend to maiden. Included soft 3 inch Dubro tires to hopefully smooth out the landings. Video will be posted when it happens come good or bad lmao.
@@GBLynden I bought one three months ago from a friend of mine. He was selling it at $250.00. Brand new. I just waited till he came to me and said I could have it at $150.00 so I got it. I check on line and it was selling for around $600.00. I guess I got a deal. It is ready to fly but got to wait till spring. Running a G26 in it. Runs good but need to wait. I live in Mn. so it be winter now. All I can really say about it is it has to much white to it. Added some black to be able to see it better. I'm looking for a cowl for it due I missed up on chopping it up alot for the engine. But it will be ok if you look at it sideways. I hope you had good flying with it.
Not very experienced, a bouncy landing w a plane of that type and size says a lot. He should have greased that landing, evident w the poor touch and go. The cameraman, does an excellent job, minimum talking, no music, cheers!
that landing was a perfect set up for a slip to a touchdown at the beginning on the runway! it's like perfect height for it... I was anticipating seeing the slip and then disappointment! love cubs and this one is unique and beautiful! also if you like this plane you'd love the christen husky! I had the 106 in span looked so real when it was at about 200 feet with about 1/3 throttle! anyways enjoy and next time pull that slip from your bag of pilot skills and give us something to talk about lol
xITZxUS Thank you for the comment. I am not 100% sure what you are talking about with the slip and everything, but I think I need to let you know that I am just the cameraman, not the pilot on this flight :) GB
You almost ended up removing your own kneecaps. Don't you have the restraint rule at your club ? Once saw a guy lose most fingers on one hand because for a second he somehow forgot the engine was running and moved his hand to adjust the mixture needle. Ouch. Lovely aircraft. I have the Carbon Cub, but I know I will be adding one of these to my hanger. Good stuff.
+terry thacker I was the cameraman and I was restraining the aircraft with my legs. I am sorry to hear about that guy who lost his fingers though.....ouch!
R/C is almost always hard to start.. just remember to always choke it good with lots of fuel until you start to get fire in the holes.... runs good though don't it?
+GBlynden Just A pointer on your ground operation of all tail dragged airplanes. when you apply power to taxi, pull back on your Elevator stick, and the tail will stay planted firmly on the ground. This will prevent Power On Nose Overs. It can Happen On The Real Cubs, or any Tail dragged airplanes whether full sized, or RC models. I hope this helps. It Helped me, and Since I zlearned It, I have saved a small fortune on props.
Jack of all trades, master of none Since no one provided an answer, these are 2 stroke twin cylinder engines that generally run on premixed gasoline and oil.
You can actually get away with much bigger wheels on this and still claim it as a 1/4 scale: alot of super cubs are bush planes and have very large wheels on to land in rough terrain.
loosen the prob and looking from the front rotate the Blade so that it is at around 3 to 3:30 when held on the compression, so your flipping the prop up and away and not across and down as was the case in this vid, you'll get more power in the flick and less likely hood of copping a blade across the back of the hand.
Please do both of us a favor... Invest in a chicken stick. I was cringing while you hand proped that engine. The longer it takes, the more frustrated we can get, the more careless we can get, too. That sudden lurch forward caught me by surprise! You're turning an 18" - 20" prop I'm guessing, that could do some damage to a hand. I just dont want you or anyone to get hurt... Beautiful plane, nice flying! Its been 2 years since you uploaded this video, I hope you're still flying it!
Someone told me it was a 40 size airplane that I have it's impossible it's way too big for a 40 size engine a 40 size engine would just drag it across the ground that would be at if that
Nice Cub. Not to be too critical but you made no effort to fly it scale. A cub is not the space shuttle. Full scale J3 Cubs climb at 400 fpm max which equates to 100 feet high in 60 seconds for 1/4 scale. A Super Cub manages 1,000 fpm or 250 fpm in 1/4 scale. You were flying practically straight up after take off at times. Why not fly a Pitts if you enjoy flying in that manner. I have owned many full scale J3 Cubs over the years including a 90hp clipped wing and know from where I speak. Before flying full scale I flew Andrew's Aeromasters with R/C and Enya or Super Tigre .60s. There is a lot of pleasure mastering scale flying techniques. Yes, I understand that airspeed dynamics for models are different than full scale. Real cubs cruise @ 60 to 115 mph so I know 1/4 scale cannot slow down to 15 mph but you want to fly as slow as reasonably possible for scale effect. Happy Flying!
I appreciate the spirit of your comment. The way I fly generally reflects that, but the pilot Jeff featured in this just wanted to have fun tearing around on a nice summer evening. Sometimes he flew it scale, but it really depended on his mood.
GBLynden's RC I see, that makes total sense. To me the profile of a cub in the sky is one of the most beautiful things the eyes can admire. I use to sit at the airport for hours waiting for a local J3 to return to base just to watch it do downwind, base, final and land. Even the taxi in to park was a thing of beauty to me. I wanted to fly a cub so bad I could taste it. I did not know how I would ever afford a cub. But soon I had Devine intervention and an idea was born. Soon I had a paid for J3 without my household monthly budget changing one cent and no loss of cash on hand. I only had five years left on a seven year mortgage, so I refinanced to 12 years, had the same monthly house payment but netted $4,800 to buy my first of many Cubs for $4,500 back in 1977. The rest of the money went to flying lessons at $10 an hour and aviation gas at 79 cents a gallon or $3.00 per hour at 3.8 gallons per hour. Those were the days and I spent many hours enjoying that cub on lazy afternoons and late evenings. So you can see why I still love seeing the shape of a J3 Cub against the sky. Happy flying!
rich r I am not sure why he didn't have one, but he did say this motor for some reason is way harder to start than his others. I go electric so I don't have to deal with this sort of hassle. GB

Thank you Glenn! I sure hope to be flying up until my 70’s and 80’s too! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
thats one big rc cub, love how you hand prop it
Thanks man! Jeff was spinning the prop, but I was on the camera.
I really like that Cub thank you for share you video

+Ineke Mateman Thank you! It is a looker :)
Awesome, it's flying perfectly. Nice acrobatic too. Love it 👍
Thank you!
This is a beautiful model for sure. I've been looking at giant scale planes and this one is near the top of my list.

Thank you so much Robert! I love your videos my friend.
Nice plane I want one
Nice airplane. You fly it very well.
+deanalaska1 Thanks man! I am actually just the camera guy, but I will let the pilot know you said that.
Amazing experience for you i think, beautifull video!!
Yes sir and thank you!
Awesome plane... Someday when I get good enough I would like to be able to have one like yours...
+T H Thanks man! In all honesty this isn't my plane. I am just the cameraman lol
that part where your knee almost got hit scared the crap outta me i would hate to think of the damage that would cause, awesome video tho!
+Shartline McDingleberries Thank you! :)

Thanks! I am just the cameraman here, but I am experienced at this point :)

Your plane is amazing . But you must secure the plane well to avoid accidents. Best regards
Thank you and we agree fully! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
That scared the shit out of me
lol it did me too in person
So, almost 200,000 people have peed their pants when that engine started!
Hahahaha! Pretty much, including the cameraman 👊🏻
I just started flying that new Hangar 9 mustang 8cc trainer. I have had some problems with it but gas is great over nitro. Nice plane seriously nice.
+Cory Reeves Very cool Cory! Do you have any video up of it flying yet?
Yeah I have a few some good some bad and a new camera on order to help when I do this alone.
For a 40 size trainer and a low wing war bird it flys better than the F4U corsair safe and is very capable. I hope you review this great bird.
That plane is gorgeous even if he was having some engine trouble.
Cory Reeves This is actually a buddy of mine's plane and he is flying it. I am just the silly cameraman, but that is awesome to hear about the P-51 :)
VERY NICE VIDEO!!!!!👌☺👍 (subscribed).
Thank you very much! 😀
Un peu dur au démarrage mais après il est super en vol ! un joli modèle
Merci beaucoup d'avoir regardé la vidéo et pour votre commentaire!
Really a nice big plane my friend.. im dreaming so hard at the xcup 60cc and the 6,4 glider O:-) cheers mate Lase
I am just the cameraman for this flight to be honest. It is a really cool plane though!
I have heard of an X-Cub but never seen the flying Cup version..
Yeahhh.. it is my dream plane too
Beauty model and flight. Sub'd and following ;) Cheers
+eastcoast78 Thank you very much! :)
Have you ever tried flying when it's getting dark outside? I see that there are lights on the wings. Or are they just for decoration and don't work
I am just the camera guy for this flight, but I have a number of solid night flyers 😎
where did you find a maroon and white version? All the ones I have seen have been blue and white?
mosquitok833 This one was custom painted by a previous owner. It is the only one around to my knowledge :)

terry thacker i nearly cut my finger once and it was because someone moved the plane a little bit while i was checking for leaks on the muffler
Thank goodness it missed you
Yeah you really do have to respect these props. Speed they are turning and how sharp they are - can hurt you really bad. Nice camera work :)
Nice plane, I thought these hanger 9 1/4 scale kits only came in blue and white, did you recover with the red?
Yep! The previous owner changed the color. In fact, he saw this video on RCG's and told me the story :)
Where was this video taken?
At Belair Flyers RC Club.
Nice job with the flying but not too safe with the start up. I thought we would have to stitch you up.
+Ron Didden I am just the camera man, but I do agree lol
What type of engine is used in that plan !
damn, das' a nice plane! i need to get to work on the frankenplane
Thank dude and yes you do! Thanks for watching brother :)
anytime brother!
This cub needs tundra tires 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
I agree! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
R/C is almost always hard to start.. just remember to always choke it good with lots of fuel until you start to get fire in the holes.... runs good though don't it?
+GBlynden Just A pointer on your ground operation of all tail dragged airplanes. when you apply power to taxi, pull back on your Elevator stick, and the tail will stay planted firmly on the ground. This will prevent Power On Nose Overs. It can Happen On The Real Cubs, or any Tail dragged airplanes whether full sized, or RC models. I hope this helps. It Helped me, and Since I zlearned It, I have saved a small fortune on props.
+2prophets Thank you for the tip! I appreciate it :)
Maybe sometimes those engines refuse to start being cold. How about blowing them with a hair dryer for a while prior to starting up?
This actually took place in the summer. I cannot remember why it took so long, but I thought it was interesting and RUclips seems to agree 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Just pump gas? What octane?
I wish I knew. I was just the cameraman lol
Jack of all trades, master of none Since no one provided an answer, these are 2 stroke twin cylinder engines that generally run on premixed gasoline and oil.
I have a Piper Cub the same exact color and size my wings are 81inch ..
Awesome!
Are this hard to control they Gad
This is very advanced. You will need to wait a lot time to fly after lots of practice.
how fast can this plane go on WOT?
Good question, but I have no idea. The pilot has since totaled this plane.
How long can u fly with one fill?
That I don't know. I am just the cameraman lol
What engine is he using? Size,etc...
Awesom model, but please slow down those flaps, both extension and retraction!
I am just the camerman lol
the dual sounds are scary
Wow took off in less then 10 ft...
It did just jump up didn't it?
You can actually get away with much bigger wheels on this and still claim it as a 1/4 scale: alot of super cubs are bush planes and have very large wheels on to land in rough terrain.
Thanks!
GBLynden's RC you’re welcome.
high idle
He was working on getting it tuned up. The never ending battle of keeping gasers set and ready to rock is a very real thing.
White is tough to see far away, well maybe not?
with a VVRC 40 twin engine
Thanks man! :)
First thing I would do is get the prop blade where it should be .
+mozzmann I am just the cameraman, but I am curious as to what you mean.
loosen the prob and looking from the front rotate the Blade so that it is at around 3 to 3:30 when held on the compression, so your flipping the prop up and away and not across and down as was the case in this vid, you'll get more power in the flick and less likely hood of copping a blade across the back of the hand.
+mozzmann Thank you, that clarification is very helpful :)
Please do both of us a favor... Invest in a chicken stick. I was cringing while you hand proped that engine. The longer it takes, the more frustrated we can get, the more careless we can get, too. That sudden lurch forward caught me by surprise! You're turning an 18" - 20" prop I'm guessing, that could do some damage to a hand. I just dont want you or anyone to get hurt...
Beautiful plane, nice flying! Its been 2 years since you uploaded this video, I hope you're still flying it!
This video was uploaded many years ago now and the plane flew well for quite a while after. I am just the cameraman, for the record 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Espectacular muy bueno.
Un saludo muy grande para todos desde Buenos Aires 😃👍👍.
WooW Good Crack ;)
Choke on full throttle tell it pops... choke off 1/4 throttle
Easy way to start gas engine
Good tips!
Balsa… and Giant Scale - flies better.
Wrecks harder, too! 😂
Hahahah! So true 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Use a starter bro. And put a 4 stroke in it
Someone told me it was a 40 size airplane that I have it's impossible it's way too big for a 40 size engine a 40 size engine would just drag it across the ground that would be at if that
Not with a piece of ribbon on the leading edge
That plane wanted a finger!
lol he knew what he was doing. That engine just gave him some trouble.

I see, that makes total sense. To me the profile of a cub in the sky is one of the most beautiful things the eyes can admire. I use to sit at the airport for hours waiting for a local J3 to return to base just to watch it do downwind, base, final and land. Even the taxi in to park was a thing of beauty to me. I wanted to fly a cub so bad I could taste it. I did not know how I would ever afford a cub. But soon I had Devine intervention and an idea was born. Soon I had a paid for J3 without my household monthly budget changing one cent and no loss of cash on hand. I only had five years left on a seven year mortgage, so I refinanced to 12 years, had the same monthly house payment but netted $4,800 to buy my first of many Cubs for $4,500 back in 1977. The rest of the money went to flying lessons at $10 an hour and aviation gas at 79 cents a gallon or $3.00 per hour at 3.8 gallons per hour. Those were the days and I spent many hours enjoying that cub on lazy afternoons and late evenings. So you can see why I still love seeing the shape of a J3 Cub against the sky. Happy flying!
U forgot the flaps
+Vincent Augustin I am just the cameraman.
Cool plane but why spend the money on a big, nice plane and not buy a battery powered starter?
rich r I am not sure why he didn't have one, but he did say this motor for some reason is way harder to start than his others. I go electric so I don't have to deal with this sort of hassle.
GB
Nothing beats the sound of gas but I hear ya on the electric thing. That's why all of mine are electric too. So annoying when a gasser doesn't start.
rich r I bet! :)
She wants to fly so bad could barely get her to sit back down on the ground
That is so true! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
No wonder Electric is becoming popular
I agree!
throttle up unassisted not good
jfingerskeys He is a very capable pilot.
Cacaczc
I have no idea what you are saying here lol
1/4 SCALE DOES NOT LOOK THAT BIG.
+Bobby John I am not sure I understand your comment Bobby.
Talk about a poor approach. Waay of the end of the runway.
😂😂😂
