That cub is one of the first versions Hanger 9 came out with HAN1500. I have the same one in an ARF that I will be building this summer with a vintage saito FA 65. trying to post the pics
HI! I recently purchased a similar size cub, but the struts are a major pain to deal with. I noticed you don't have struts on this one and are flying it pretty "aggressively". Any concerns about the wings folding or anything like that without the struts? any advice generally speaking in relation to that.
I believe this Cub model was originally designed and built without struts, even though the full scale obviously has them. If your model has them (which it sounds like it does), I'd encourage you to keep them on as it probably needs them for structural integrity. I hope this helps, all the best to you!
@@JustwingitRC Thank you. I've been buying ARF kits lately because I don't have time to build but love to fly. This spring I have 4 airplanes to maiden: 1. Hostetler 108.5 inch WS Bonanza DLE 85 2. Phoenix models Stinson reliant DLE 35RA 3. Cessna 182 CMP PRO DLE 20 4. VMAR 80 INCH CUB (Engine not decided) So I'll definitely have my hands full. Thanks for the info about the cub. I've never heard of VMAR and don't recall ever seeing one fly, but I'll take your word it flies well! Smooth skies fellow aviator!
@@sophiasocal68 Wow my friend! Hands full indeed, all of those models sound awesome, my kind of planes! Those aircraft are all classics and should fly very well. I have a friend who has the VMAR Cub, and even the Twin Otter (twin electric), and both fly very well. Fair winds and happy landings to you!
Man John I love Cubs! There were so many 80" 1/5 kits. Great planes, Goldberg, Sig. My guess is a Goldberg. Both the GP and Sig are more scale. Nice flying by Brent. I love flying with Rudder! Thanks for sharing!
Hey there my friend! I figured you'd like this one knowing your affinity for Cubs! You know, someone mentioned that over on RCG and I completely forgot about the old Goldberg kits, and yes, it does have that "look" about it! I recall Goldberg had both: some decidedly "sport scale" and some that were a bit more in line with the full size. I also agree with you that the GP and the Sig were more scale for sure. It's nice to be able video someone like Brent who can demonstrate the difference rudder makes just by asking him to do so! All the best to you brother!
If i had to guess id say it was a great planes. It been in our club for years going from one guy to the next. The side windows were molded . I got attack by Hornets or yellowjackets while trying to land and crashed it hard. Had to rebuild the whole front from the first side windows all the way forward. It was just too fun to throw it away.
This certainly looks like an "old" Hangar 9, model HAN1500 circa 1994 or so. I still have the one I purchased new in the late 90s. It was the first ARF I ever bought. Great flying plane but the one-piece wing is a bit cumbersome to transport. They released a slightly more scale version with a two-piece wing shortly after I got mine, kinda wish I waited for that one lol. I haven't flown mine in years, this vid makes me want to dust it off again.
Thanks for checking in! Yes, it certainly could be the Hangar 9, and for sure it was a very popular ARF back in the day! You should dust yours off, these make for nice flyers! Blue skies my friend!
@@JustwingitRC thanks so much for finding this out for me, really appreciate. I bought a pre-owned 80'' cub last year and got me a pre-owned OS FS-48 Surpass. So after watching the video I think this will be a perfect fit. (someone told me the even a FS-90 would not be sufficient yet I see now). Thanks again my friend!
Oh man, that is so cool! These old planes always invoke fond memories, and I'm glad to share them. Your electric conversion sounds awesome! What size motor, ESC, battery and prop are you going to run? These are usually built pretty heavy (old school). Cheers my brother, stay warm up there 😎👍🤠🤙🇨🇦
@@JustwingitRC I installed a 5055 700kv with a 200amp SC. It is equipped with a 4 blade 14". Static tests show a hover at just over half throttle. 1600+ watts. I have named it "Cubzilla". I'll post a flight once the weather and time allow. Best wishes brother.
Thanks for the vid John. I love that cub, flies great and with the on board glow driver she stays running at idle. Brent does a great job of throwing it around. I like doing touch and goes with it.
Thanks for checking in my friend, glad you enjoyed this flight! A very gifted pilot flying a classic old plane, hard to get any better than that. All the best to you 😁!
I’m new here, It’s a Hanger 9 J-3 Cub 40 1/3 scale, I found a new in the box ARF that I’m going to pick up Friday. So excited, but I’m undecided on 4S or 6S power…!

That's awesome my friend! I thought it was a vintage model for sure. All the best to you brother!
Mine is powered by a Saito FA-45 MK1 a little less power but pretty scale climbing. The J-3 likes to land perhaps fear of height?
That sounds awesome Rubin! I'll bet it floats around pretty nicely and looks scale while doing it my friend!

This is my cub, i think it is a Hanger9. Love it. It is kinda heavy.
Vmar makes a Cub that size!
Vmar makes some great models Steve!
Great video. Would you still know or find out what prop he has put on there? Thanks a lot.
Thanks for the good words my friend! I'll try to find out the prop size for you...
I just heard from the owner who said it flies on a 12x5 propeller. He's also used a 12x7, but said it flies better on the 12x5. Hope this helps!

Thank you my friend 😁👍
That's not an os 48 more like 120

@@JustwingitRC ok 48cc not .48 cu inch I see. Nice model.

Thanks Rodger! She's a grand old gal and flies super good, you gotta be happy with that! Hope all is well my friend!
Nice to watch, great skills of the pilot! It looks like it would be so light approaching a landing or touch and go :))

Nice mystery model!
Thanks my friend, ain't this a great old plane? Blue skies and happy landings to you!
i think there are about 10 million 80 inch balsa cub kits that were made through out the years!
Hah! I know, and that's part of the problem 😂😁!
Hey my friend, this is the club I belong to!
Awesome! Nice little field!
If you ever do by again let me know I now belong to this club, nice plane and flight!
Will do!
@@JustwingitRC I was trying to find the website for the club and I keyed it in and your video popped up from a year ago, so cool..
Looks like a Hanger 9. Mine had a FS74 in it and it was a dream.
It could very well be my friend! All those were wonderful flyers for sure!
I think it's Great Planes, I used to have one with that same motor.
Thanks Andrew! Great Planes, that's what some other folks are saying...all the best to you my friend!
I’m new here, It’s a Hanger 9 J-3 Cub 40 1/3 scale, I found a new in the box ARF that I’m going to pick up Friday. So excited, but I’m undecided on 4S or 6S power…!
Thanks for checking on my friend, this plane should do just fine on 6s power 😁👍
@@JustwingitRC 6s is the direction I’ve decided to go with, more power the better.
@@itzjoeylo4501 For sure!
Perfect motor sound for that plane too!
Oh I totally agree with you James! Cubs need a good putt-putt motor under the cowl 😎👍
What's not to love about a Cub.
Indeed sir, indeed!
Nice cub guy’s
Thanks Bill, glad you liked it!
