      Other than offering different colors, the nylon Du-Bro skis have not changed. So they should work fine on your Carbon Cub. The camera is a RunCam2. There are newer versions available now. I put one on each wing to balance the weight.

    That’s cool. Brought back a few memories. I was actually attached to VT-25, Chase Field Texas, 1968/69. We were flying the TF-9J’s (like yours) and the TAF-9J two seaters. We were 5J rather than 7L. Your model looks really accurate. One thing tho’. You didn’t happen to have the spring loaded “blow in doors”, upper empennage behind the cockpit? Those old centrifugal flow J-48 engines needed more air than the intakes could provide so as they accelerated, these doors would open. Anyway, great job!

      No reverse. I'm not sure what you mean by the center deck...but it's all stock methods of retention. The cabin is a friction fit and has pins to align it. The area behind that (with the M-60 mount) is the battery hatch and is held in place with magnets. The rear deck (with single M-2) is screwed in place.

    I have 4 of these that I picked up from the local Value Village for $5 or $6 each because they didn't have controllers. I pick up a lot of RCs there cheap because of that issue. I have a giant Jeep I picked up for $10. I was looking at the control board to see if I could wire in a cheap receiver to keep the functionality, but came to the same conclusion that the best way is to just throw the boards into the spare electronics parts pile to strip and go with a pair of ESCs and transmitter/receiver. I am going a lot cheaper, using entry level Chinese parts from Amazon, but since this is a learning project and funds are tight, they will serve the purpose. I was fortunate to have the original batteries, so I am going to rebuild them with upgraded batteries and wire in a charge port so I don't have to remove the battery, useless I want to swap it for a charged battery and keep playing. :-) Of course with a bunch of them, I can just swap vehicles. lol Seeing how well this one worked, I am glad I made the decision to swap everything. Like you, I figure screw motors will be next.
