Thank you, Captain Leo! Great and informative video!
The right side will tighten if no esna nut (lock nut)is used. With a right handed nut (or bolt),I remember the saying, right to titen, left to loosen. Or clock wise loosens, counter clock wise tightens.
😊 thank you
Great idea. Just ordered one.
What if you dont have an expensive computer radio?like a DX6 or DX8 or NX6.....just a cheap introductory radio like a DXS that came with the trainer plane.
Hi Leo, i saw the video and am curious where you bought the build stand. A link or name? Thanks
For the server for the wings does it come with the little metal rods with it? Looks like to be plastic. To connect to the servo I heard you said the plane don’t come with the servo, but does it come with the other stuff to attach to the servo?
Circlip holding the wheels one
The Hot Ticket is to buy a set of the FMS Pneumatic Air filled wheels that come stock on the FMS 1.3 PA-18 and install them on the 1.7 They are more realistically scale in size instead of the Cartoon Absurdly Large Hard as Diamonds Original wheels on the 1.7 version. the plane looks and feels so much better now that i have swapped them out. Just Do it you wont regret it one bit Plus the FMS PA-18 1.3 wheels are super cheap like 20 dollars direct from FMS
Preinstalled a whopping 10 MB. Nice 👍
This is a very good setup video. I have noticed however on models where there has been a need to reverse a servo on the primary (Instructor) transmitter, it doesn't reflect the same characteristics on the DXs... they are reversed i.e. opposite from the Instructor transmitter. Any ideas, suggestions?
Great video, only issue i have is the master override even when active does not work on main transmitter any help would be great. thanks
Hi from Switzerland 🇨🇭Very useful video, thanks a lot. Much much better than the HZ user guide! I am going to have a look at some of your other videos, and subscribe 😀👍😎
Glad it was helpful!
Were the front two screws machine screws? If so, did you install anchors first. Thank you
Same as the original screws, which are machined threaded screws, just a bit longer. I didn’t use anchors but that sounds like a good idea for the two aft holes.
Why did you choose Standard Instructor over Pilot Link Instructor? Also, I too was working with the Aero Scout and it's transmitter. Is there a way to have the model fly on advanced, no Gyro (Beginner and Intermediate).
This is a great mod and a very well presented video. Thank you very much.
Where can I find the landing gear ? Been flying this plane for years now and that's my only problem I have with it
I bought mine from Horizon Hobby, but there are many suppliers online.
Good man yourself clear as mud Sir .. I have an older first generation DX 8 so I guess I need to get a more modern version that I can use it as a trainer Thanks for posting this video…Slan
how are they? Im considering getting the 6" version.
@@MotocrossRider155 I like them a lot. I fly on open area grass. I’ve never pumped any air into them.
Thanks! Just ordered one of your battery trays for my Carbon Cub. Nice to see another cub with usage "patina" like mine😃
Hope you enjoy it!
I’ve been doing a lot of research about the Cub S2 wanting to get back into the hobby after a nearly four decade hiatus. Wow, things sure have changed. I appreciate the videos on the Cub particularly. The gear seemed to me to be the weak link. The Valiant gear is already in my shopping cart. Decision made. Thanks!
Nice idea and demo.. Looks good and solid. thx for sharing. FRCP
I have been going insane trying to get some one to understand the issue i was having with this plane, the dx6e and the flight modes not working I could not find the file off the spectrum web site to down load for the cub so i was lost. first plane ever so i am just learning. every one ( including my hopbby shop guy ) kept saying read the manual..... and id say im telling you i read the manual theres nothing in there that helps the situation. so im going to try it your way and hope it works thank you for the video im starting to think they are pushing this 250 dollar transmitter just to get you to spend the money and then it just wont work with this plane as easy as it should. so again thanks
yet to find a good GyroFlow tutorial
Very well done . thank you.
THANKS a MILLION!!! This saved me from pulling all my hair out trying to figure out the flap system among the other issues I experienced! Tossed that manual suggestion out the window.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for making these videos! I’m trying to setup the same plane with NX10. I have everything working except I can’t seem to get the flaps working at all! I went into the channel assign and set 7 aux2 to D, as that is where I have the flaps plugged in, but nothing moving. Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong? Thanks
Thanks man, even years later this video is super helpful. I appreciate the simple to the point instructions!
If you are going to include landing assist and GPS, it would be helpful if you would actually show how / where to connect them.
1:07:50 - GPS module
@@CaptainLeo In case you missed it, you say that you won't install it in this plane. Same for LAS. Not useful, better leave that out of the video. I found the information elsewhere.
Hello Captain! Thank you so much - wonderfully explained. Thank you! Bought a DXe to teach my 10 year old to fly. The Spektrum manual is pretty spars so your kind help is very much appreciated!!
I have the same problem. No green light in "Normal mode" (Position 0 on the "B" switch) tried your trick of holding stick down and to the right, but that didn't solve it. Very weird how it's different than all the other Blade helis.
The pa28 1300mm tires are air filled and adjustable for $20 on fms site. (I have both)
same axle size?
It fits on the 170mm really ??
@@MotocrossRider155 you have to drill out the hub, but they fit the 1700 and look less cartoon while being a lot more compliant.
Thanks for the help this was driving me crazy 😂
front or back spin / Counter clock wise or Clockwise?? Cute.
HI where is the part for the landing gear
Do you think the Kavan wheels will be OK on the carbon cub S2 I went with the 4 inch and I also ordered your inserts and a battery tray from your webpage. I’m hoping the Kavan wheels are not too heavy for that plane. What are your thoughts?
I only have the Kavan wheels on the FMS cub, the inserts are designed for that, they might work out on the carbon cub if you have bolts to fit. Let me know how it works out!
I am going to do the exact same thing on my Corbin cub S2, but I was going to put the 4 inch Kavon wheel using your inserts I was going to use a four MM stainless steel bolt so they work do you think they will be OK and not too heavy for the S2 cub?
Thats a very interesting customization! I don’t know what the weight difference would be, but the Carbon Cub can handle floats and a camera, so there is a good chance.

Thank you so very much for this video. You just did what I was already thinking. I had my eye on those wheels, but I did not know exactly how to mount them. I ordered three of your inserts and one of your carbon cup S2 battery trays just wanted to say thank you so muchfor creating those inserts can’t wait to get them in. Try them.
Does it sit the same as it did with the original landing gear or does it sit a bit higher in the nose now?
Its almost the same, I didn’t notice a difference
cuando uno esta configurando el avion jamas debe poner la helice por terminos de seguridad .saludos
I dont see the part number anywhere. can you supply the number please. Thanks in advance.
It's in the video description :) Valiant 1.3 EFL4955
I would like a set of the insert you made how do we do it I will send you my address and you will send me the inserts
Its on my etsy store, look at my website. CaptainLeo.aero

Happy to hear that, and I appreciate your feedback. :)
They’re called eclips. You can buy an assortment of them and a tool to remove and install them.
Thank you, Good idea to buy a box of them. It's quite a challenge to find one if it falls on the floor!
Yes, I'm interested in the bushings you made. How do I get them from you?
@@randyhardee9918 You can find some on my etsy. 3DRCPlanes.com
Cpt - thanks for the video. Just now upgrading to a new DX8 with my Carbon Cub and also finding your video. This will be very helpful in setting up the new configuration. Thanks,
I appreciate your feedback :)
Thank you, very easy to understand. Going to setup my Carbon Cub for my daughter.
Lucky Daughter, enjoy flying :)
very nice update I just have buy the bat, holder
Great, I see you got the one to fit the Gen 1 battery. It's printing now.
I never used the button. I just flip the switch back to safe mode.
is there a way to edit the stabilization keyframes? For instance if you need to delete a keyrframe or shift them around?
