    We just flew our maiden flite of the Simple Cub my son and I built at Flite Fest Texas. Our first build and my first time flying RC in 25 years. She's an absolute peach. Thanks Josh for the help and advice. We love our Cub!

    Gotta love the stability of the Cub's! Lost transmitter power once with my sportcub and it just glided in from 200ft for a nice landing.

      *VERY TRUE!!!* FliteTest to me, are Simple Rugged Aircraft that nearly ANYONE can Fly...
      That's also incredibly AFFORDABLE!!! 👍👍👏👏👏👏
      For Disabled Veterans like myself, this is the ONLY way I'm able to Fly!
      THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart Gentlemen!

    Just bought this kit the other day with shipping to the UK! Found this video tonight. Bought the B power pack with it too. Maybe should of got a bigger pack but hey. Screw it! Cant wait to build and fly it. Only RC flight so far was a "trainer" plastic fuselage I bought many years ago that badly compressed the fuselage trying to take off. Then a cheap £60 park trainer made of foam that I've bought recently. thankfully with a gyro. Cant wait to build and try to fly!

    I'm almost done with a Super Cub that Josh had redesigned some while ago, made it for some as3x guts that came out of a mig 15 lol..Now i'm looking forwards to build this one as well and i will downsize it to 500mm. Thank you, FliteTest for these great projects which i enjoy very much!

    My first plane was the HobbyZone Sport Cub S. I've always loved it and I've learned to fly with it. The only problem was that everytime someone sneezed, the plane got blown out by the wind. Now that you guys have made a "heavy" Cub, I'll go back to my first love :) ... You guys are wonderful!

      The Super Cub is the plane I learned on, even though I built a Taylorcraft 450 and 60 size P40 Warhawk first. I lost it in a tree, and when it fell out someone took it, so I replaced it with the Sport Cub. I bought another one for either my wife or grandson to learn on, they're great RTF airplanes.

    • @isaaclyonsf1
      @isaaclyonsf1 6 років тому

      Keith Lucas, I always put how to return it on the plane somewhere so that if it does get stuck in a tree and it comes down people know who to give it back to. Sad to hear that happened to you.

    So how does this compare to the simple storch? From the looks of it I'm guessing the storch is a bit bigger and thus might be more docile? The advantage of this though is that I already have the b-pack so no new electronics :)

Is it easy?

    now I have a question, I plan on getting one of these kits. mainly because the Piper was featured prominently in one of my favorite films. HOWEVER that version had floats. my question is, how well do the floats work as skids? because I hope to replicate the plane from the film, but don't live near a body of water. I know this is a little out of the box but it was my first thought the moment I saw you guys had a cub speed build. if they don't work as skids right away what are some things I could do to replicate the float look while still doing grass landings?
