Love the video! Great job. I’d love to see a mini Chandra in it someday! I’ve only flown the full size up in Alaska for a few days. Chandra flies it all the time! Love this. Thanks for the tribute and invitation to participate. 🤙
Hey Cory it was my pleasure! Thanks so much for being a part of it...your intro is totally awesome! I'm looking out for a Chandra pilot...you should tell her to watch. Hopefully she'd get a kick out of it!
What a gorgeous model! Those flaps are 🔥! The gear, the landing lights- absolute beauty! Love the part about trying to find a Mrs. Patey pilot figure that's more lady than lady of the night 😊 Awesome video, y'all. Not sure how I missed it for this long. But, I'm dang sure glad I found it! I friggin love that CC SS 👍
Al, we love that you watch some of our old stuff brother...means a lot man. So glad you enjoyed it! We are a bit better with studio lighting now, lol. This is an awesome plane! I still can't get over Cory Robin himself filming an intro for us in his cub Ghost!
Thank you Joe, good eye. Many don't realize we modified that a bit. All due respect to our lost vets, the POW/MIA version is significant for sure. Our version is something more folks need to remember in our humble opinion.
Adam, Brother this Tribute Carbo Cub for the Flying Cowboys is outstanding. I have watched the video 10 times and finally decided to comment. I want to make one myself but it may take me a while to get it together due to the cost. After pricing everything it is 1.5k which would make it the most expensive plane in my hanger. I already have some of the parts needed but I want to make an perfect copy of yours with the exception of little Cory. I have a Local Pilot that is a Airforce combat veteran who owns the Carbon Cub SS Bush plane that I will honor but putting his likeness as the pilot. I also have a local Wood Carver that will make the pilot for me. He is very good and enjoys a challenge of working from photos. The bass wood bust can be added to any body type and can be painted. I also know a lady who makes dolls that is willing to make the body for me. I can ask them to also make Sandra Patey if you want and see how much is would cost. The wood carver wants $120 for his carving, The doll lady said she does not know depending on the clothes. The leather jacket my pilot wears cost me more I know but It is worth it to me. Again awesome work Adam and you have inspired me into being a better modeler. Thank You.
Thanks very much my friend. Very kind words. It was a fun project. It is pricey to outfit with good equipment, but good equipment saves a lot of headache. It is on the heavy side, but lighter tires than I used would help. It flies awesome, just not like a floaty foamy. Man I miss when all the Flying Cowboys were posting bush flying vids. Trent is really the only one left that posts that kind of stuff. Mike's build vids are fun though. I actually have a Barbie doll that resembles Chandra, just got to get her in there. If you get to building one, I look forward to seeing it!
@@ModelAV8RChannel I would love to see you bush fly this plane on video Adam. And I am going to build one but it will take me a few months due to the cost.
We just used small bungee cord material and used longer bolts to give us more to attach to and wrap around. How much was just trial and error. We spent an hour testing and changing things around at the field to find how much worked.
Wow, so cool to get Cory in on the video, great job and as always the flying skills presented are awesome. One can really see how you enjoy flying that cub... Great stuff
Thanks so much man! Great of Cory to do it...super awesome dude! I love that Carbon Cub...got a 1/4 Super Cub to show you at some point. Hope to see more of your X Cub...
Well, Cory said to watch, so I did. Otherwise I just would've.....done it anyway:). Great in-depth video Adam. Wow, it's big bear. So cool. AirHammer out!!
I just put mine together- I added a 16x7 prop as well. When I ran the recommended 16x10 through ecalc it showed too much current through the motor. I wonder if anyone has burned out their motor using the suggested prop
I'm not sure. There are variables that ecalc doesn't account for in many situations. That is one of the things I like about the planes I have with telemetry. I can see exactly what I'm pulling amps wise through the whole flight, and exactly what the temps are.
I haven't really paid attention to what others are doing with it in a couple of years, but that is par for the course with a lot of planes. Smaller flaps don't cause ground loops and stalls. Poor technique and execution does. Quite a few folks expect foamy handling out of a balsa plane, and get surprised when it doesn't. I test what any plane will do slow up high first, stall it several times, and from there I know what I'm working with. Oh and yes, adding a bit of glue to the firewall, battery box, landing gear mounts, and wing cradle on any ARF is a great idea.
Super Cool my brother and that intro by Cory is just awesome! Great job as usual by Team Gault...I love the direction this channel is going and really look forward to each and every episode! Happy landings and all the best to you from your friend in the Mojave Desert!
Brother John thank you so very much...really appreciate all the advise you've given us as we get our start. Episode 25. Hard to believe we have 25 already! Really glad you like what we are doing bro! You know I always look forward to seeing what you'll do next...all the best to you my friend. Looking forward to our visit and SEFF!!
Awesome Video, some of the best scale flying ive ever seen with an rc carbon cub. Great job. I think I'm going to do the spring modification on mine. Thanks for the tip.
I’ve been flying mine for a couple of years now. Rcgf 20t for power. Not happy with the original bungees so will try your method. Also the pilot/flor hatch is going to be changed tomorrow.. great ideas! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for a nice review on that Cub ! How do you go about propping down a plane ? I see you are using a 16x7 instead of the 16x10 they recommended with 80% max throttle
Thanks. Propping down is easy. Just a matter of how much power do you want to make and why. There is no danger of course as far as amps as those will go down. We explain our reasoning in detail in the video.
Make sense and yes I m all about scale flying above crazy vertical so I’ll try that since I have a bunch of 16x7 and 16x8 I assume the curve is just a straight one from 0 to 80% nothing fancy ?
I actually brought on the rpms a bit early in the curve to make it feel more linear. I didn't want to have to move the throttle too far just to taxi. You'll kind of have to feel it out and experiment to get it like you want it.
How did you balanced it ? I just finished mine with Avian 80a and Power 60 EF using a gensace 6s3300 and it’s super nose heavy even with the battery moved back against the screw, about 100 mm ( not like yours at 115 ) not a big deal as I can move it back further and make a new hole but I was just wondering if you had to modify yours in some ways without doing that battery move ? I used mid weight servos for the rudder elevator at 54 grs each
You hit this one Outta the park, Brother Adam! Cool is your connection with the Flying Cowboys and your tribute Cub. Interesting details about the aircraft, your passion for all of it. And of course excellent flying, particularly in that wind which is evident in the video. I learned to be fairly proficient 3 years ago with my first Maule at doing the 3 point drop landings; but now I'm relearning. However yesterday, I did about a two foot rollout after tires touched in 10 mph wind with new Maule. Video Battery died and didn't get it on video, LOL!
Hey Mark thank you man! I knew you'd dig this one. The Flying Cowboys are great...all good guys. Awesome of Cory to be a part of this one! Doesn't that drive you crazy...the battery always dies on the best one!! Lol.
I just checked again (I have a lot of bush planes, lol) Top door is glued, bottom one isn't. Never an issue in 160 flights or so. I used med CA. Only takes a little. Put Vaseline on the hinge so the glue can't get to it.
I've been waiting for this one and have wondered when you would do a video on the carbon cub, every time I see it in your intro. Thanks for this! Great job. Happy flying!
Mindblown! What a fantastic model with some clever modifications. Perfectly flown, of course, Adam... and what a stellar intro from one of the Cowboys! Properly a 10/10 video.
Gina thank you so very much!! So awesome of Cory to help us. He is a great ambassador for all kinds of aviation, and several of the Flying Cowboys help model aviation. They are awesome! Really appreciate you miss Gina...your compliment means a lot to us.
There aren't really any RTF gas planes out there new, but you can go to a local RC flying club and maybe buy a used one RTF. Also a good place to get help with it and learn to tune and fly.
Lovely detailed look at your Hangar 9 Carbon Cub!! With some great mods, nice tribute to the Flying Cowboys!! I love the way this Cub flies!! Which is why I purchased one Lol Great video, great flying well done Adam and Heidi 😀👍
Is there any chance that you would spend the time to help me set up my first power system for my first ARF…? I found a Hanger 9 J-3 Cub 40, 80” wingspan. 95 miles south of me and drove down this past weekend. So excited
If memory serves, when I had one I used a E-Flite Power 46 motor, a castle TALON 60 ESC, 14 x 7 prop, 4s 3200. I used the Blazing Star Standard Standoff set from Extreme Flight to mount the motor.
That depends on what you want. I have that power system in a 10+ pound Sopwith Camel and it hauls that fine, and the J-3 should be 2 to 3 pounds lighter than that. I flew my J-3 scale, and there was plenty of power in reserve. If you want 3D plane power you might consider a 6s system.
@@ModelAV8RChannel just making sure that I don’t under size it, I don’t need 3D power. Just enough to punch out of a sticky situation. Thanks for your help
Hey Adam! Great video...I'm doing some research before buying my first extra-large scale RC plane (Draco is my largest to date). I'm curious what diameter bungee cord did you use on your landing gear? I see it's available in 1/32", 1/16", 1/8" & 2.5mm.
Hey man. I think it is 1/16. It was a process for sure. It took us about an hour and a half to get it right. You just keep adding wraps, taking away, and testing until its perfect. Helpful to store the plane on a rack so the bungees are not supporting the plane while stored.
@@ModelAV8RChannel Thanks so much for responding. I realize it's a tight envelope and there may be some tweaking to get it tuned. I did some tuning to my Draco too. Replaced the internal springs in 1 of the 2 "shocks" on each side with a softer spring from Ace Hardware. The result was a lower overall spring rate that allowed softer movement. That combined with the Kavan air tires and it's much easier to get smoother landings. Thanks again!
That is great man! Draco's gear is a complex design, and as good as HH did it, it needed a bit of tweaking. Sounds like you nailed it! That is what it is all about...glad you embrace the modeling side of model aviation. It makes it easier and gives you so many more options!
with the landing gear bungee, a method that might help others reproduce it could be to put some weight in or on the fuse and measure how far it lowers. of course there's variation in bungee cord and whatnot but it might be a good way to help others reproduce the same kind of result. absolutely love this cub.
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words! That is a very good idea in concept. Really I think it would require that each pilot test and experiment to get the result for their taste...some may prefer a stiffer suspension...or less than I like. The tires used and weight will affect it as well. Different components/battery choices will make RTF weights vary. It took me 4 or 5 tries to get it like I want it. Part of the fun though!
Great Model. Love all the little details. Always with great flying skill! Keep up the outstanding content/Episodes, you bring the best format of RC Flying content on UA-cam.!!
Just going out the door to test the Di Vinci Flyer again, we have a rare day with almost zero wind and blue skies so I'll watch when I get back, cheers Adam 👍
@Model AV8R Thanks Adam, as you know it's done, thanks for your comment. I love the wheel chocks but shouldn't they be tied together with little bits of string ... cool. The final doughnut was fun, have to try that 😁👍
It is very cool! Awesome of Cory to help with the video as well. We love aviation period...models or otherwise, and we get a lot of inspiration from people like Cory. We try to promote full scale as well as model aviation channels. I figure there are a lot of people like me out there...if it has wings - I like it! Thank you so much for watching!
Love the attention to detail. And all the well thought through solutions like the battery tray and gear bungee 💪 Awesome and scale landings. Make me realize the long way I have to go✌️
Thank you my friend. You fly fine I think, especially considering you focus on many other things. I mainly focus on flying and I fly a lot...and concentrate practice sessions on specific things. Not sure how many hours I have flying STOL planes, but it is a bunch...lol.
@@ModelAV8RChannel It sure shows you have done it before. I'm definitely not flying as much as I want. The days are still short, so no flying after work yet. And the weekends are mostly busy. But I try to do at least one battery of landing practice when I'm out. It sure helps a lot.
@@YetAnotherRcChannel Ahahahahah! Ive like ten Planes in boxes and twelve built and Rx'd that I need to maiden yet. Once You get the Jist around this, You have conquered the great mystery of RC kooking. My Multiple tubes of Foam Tac are suddenly lonely. All the best to You YARCC.
Outstanding work Adam. Hangar 9 makes exceptional kits and this one certainly ranks up there. Great engineering under the hood. Of course beautiful flying!
Thanks David! Means a lot coming from you...the engineering on your F-14...awesome. I agree H9 makes awesome stuff. I do like to make them more serviceable than they intend though. They never seem to make getting to components as easy as I think it should be, and I'm one of those crazy "actually does annuals on his models" guys...lol.
Hey Jake! Did you ever get your 150's flying right? Thanks for watching buddy! All the components are listed on the set up page before the flying. It has a E flite Power 60 (I think the 470kv).
@Model AV8R Iv gotten the carbon z cessna flying, had a few successful flights last week. I was pretty stoked about that. Still waiting on the right conditions to get the aerobat out tho. Lots of wind in late winter/spring here in New England. I see the specs now. I looked right thru em cuz I couldn't wait to see the cub in action!
Awesome man glad you got one of em' out. We had some crazy winds Saturday...30mph! Then flew Sunday...5mph. Crazy wx. Yeah that Carbon Cub is a fun one!
Hey man awesome! Thank you! Yep I've seen you in Jeffs live stream I think, and it dawned on me I hadn't checked your channel out...glad I did...good stuff!
Hi Adam, hope you had a great summer & are doing well. Did the extreme flight tail wheel bracket require you to add blind nuts? Hope you still fly this awesome airplane. You videos and channel are outstanding. Easily one of the very best R/C flying channels.
That's an awesome looking and flying plane, I'm dreaming about moving to America and buying one of them... But the whole awesome impression is spoiled by that awkward sound on landing when the tail wheel touches the ground... Is there any solution for it like hollow rubber tail wheel or some torsion spring for dumping this weird jumps of the tail?
Thanks for watching! It is an awesome airplane. That sound isn't the tail wheel, its the main gear suspension. There's a lot of moving metal parts, and it can't be tightened to the point of tolerance to make little noise as it wouldn't articulate correctly and be more susceptible to breakage. It's just the nature of the beast when you fly big scale balsa on electric power. Usually there is a nitro or gas engine that drowns that stuff out. With the electrics...you hear everything. Doesn't bother me, but I'm used to it.
Great video as always. Very professional and informative. I have the Horizon baby version Cub and maybe with some fertilizer and water it will grow up to be as good as yours!
@@ModelAV8RChannel Hilarious and absolutely true comment, Brother ☺️! I'm hitting play on the H9 Carbon Cub now. You've I image had many planes, but still u must be pretty jazzed!
Just found your video today. Very timely since I’m in the middle putting the Hangar 9 Carbon Cub together. I was looking for a controller for wig-wag lights and there was your solution. Love some of your other mods, especially using the bungees in the landing gear. The stock gear seems so stiff. I’m using the RCGF 20cc twin for power . Hopefully flies as well as yours. Ordered one of Corey’s Flying Cowboys decals long before ordering the plane which inspired me to build this cub. Great video. I’ll be using some of your great ideas in my build. Hopefully turns out as nice as yours
Hey that is great! Glad it was helpful. You will love it...such a good flying plane! Thanks for watching and the very kind words! E mail us at the channel e mail and let us know how the build/maiden goes.
Thank you for watching! They hold well. I tape the windscreen down, mark and pre-drill all the holes, screw the screws in, back them all out, remove the windscreen, reinforce the holes with thin ca, and after that dries fully install the windscreen. Basically the same you'd do when drilling and preparing holes for servo screws. It is really important that you let the ca dry fully...if not it can cloud up the clear poly-carbonate.
@Model AV8R Thanks ! I'll order the screws. Mine will be dropped off tomorrow, looking forward to getting it assembled and in the air for our clubs CUB event.
Thank you very much just got my cc last week just trying to figure out Whether or not to go gas or electric pretty sure I decided on gas but I loved all the mods of the dears watch the video a few times thanks for posting keep it up

Keep in mind it will unload a lot in the air. I sent a watt meter up one time in my Pitts, unloaded over 10 amps in flight vs on a static pull.
I still feel the flaps aren’t large enough to slow the airplane down enough. I also want to put some washout in my wing.
Slows down fine to me, of course it's almost 14lbs, so it won't be like a Carbon Z Cub for sure.
I’ve seen more people destroy theirs by either ground loop or tip stall. I did think some epoxy and paint my firewall and wing box joints.

Hey Adam! Great video...I'm doing some research before buying my first extra-large scale RC plane (Draco is my largest to date).
I'm curious what diameter bungee cord did you use on your landing gear? I see it's available in 1/32", 1/16", 1/8" & 2.5mm.
Hey man. I think it is 1/16. It was a process for sure. It took us about an hour and a half to get it right. You just keep adding wraps, taking away, and testing until its perfect. Helpful to store the plane on a rack so the bungees are not supporting the plane while stored.
@@ModelAV8RChannel Thanks so much for responding. I realize it's a tight envelope and there may be some tweaking to get it tuned. I did some tuning to my Draco too. Replaced the internal springs in 1 of the 2 "shocks" on each side with a softer spring from Ace Hardware. The result was a lower overall spring rate that allowed softer movement. That combined with the Kavan air tires and it's much easier to get smoother landings. Thanks again!
That is great man! Draco's gear is a complex design, and as good as HH did it, it needed a bit of tweaking. Sounds like you nailed it! That is what it is all about...glad you embrace the modeling side of model aviation. It makes it easier and gives you so many more options!
with the landing gear bungee, a method that might help others reproduce it could be to put some weight in or on the fuse and measure how far it lowers. of course there's variation in bungee cord and whatnot but it might be a good way to help others reproduce the same kind of result.
absolutely love this cub.
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words! That is a very good idea in concept. Really I think it would require that each pilot test and experiment to get the result for their taste...some may prefer a stiffer suspension...or less than I like. The tires used and weight will affect it as well. Different components/battery choices will make RTF weights vary. It took me 4 or 5 tries to get it like I want it. Part of the fun though!
Really great details on this Cub, quality made. Was great to have Cory introduce the video. Great flight Adam 👍🏻
Thanks Chris! So nice of Cory to help...he is a awesome guy!
@@ModelAV8RChannel certainly sounded it. Was very cool he said while flying 👍🏻
Yep I was good if he just said something real quick from his office...his idea to do it flying. Awesome.
@@DadsRCHangar Gimme some Friday Feeling Mate!
Your Spit is gonna be awesome.
Great Model. Love all the little details. Always with great flying skill! Keep up the outstanding content/Episodes, you bring the best format of RC Flying content on UA-cam.!!
Wow Dustin thank you so much! Quite the compliment! Really appreciate you watching. This was a fun one!
Just going out the door to test the Di Vinci Flyer again, we have a rare day with almost zero wind and blue skies so I'll watch when I get back, cheers Adam 👍
Good luck with the maiden Cliff!
@Model AV8R Thanks Adam, as you know it's done, thanks for your comment. I love the wheel chocks but shouldn't they be tied together with little bits of string ... cool. The final doughnut was fun, have to try that 😁👍
Great work.
Regarding the femal pilot figure you might have a look at Lammily. It's a fashion doll (Barbie) with realistic proportions.
Thank you very much! We appreciate it and you watching. Thanks for the tip...We'll check the Lammily dolls out.
How cool is this?! Found you from Cory Robin’s channel posting your video. It’s great to see him appear on your video. Great job.
It is very cool! Awesome of Cory to help with the video as well. We love aviation period...models or otherwise, and we get a lot of inspiration from people like Cory. We try to promote full scale as well as model aviation channels. I figure there are a lot of people like me out there...if it has wings - I like it! Thank you so much for watching!
Nuffin better than good Mates in High Places!
Beauty Adam.
I can feel All the best is coming to You Friend.
Thank you my friend! You know we pray all the best for you buddy!
Love the attention to detail. And all the well thought through solutions like the battery tray and gear bungee 💪
Awesome and scale landings. Make me realize the long way I have to go✌️
Thank you my friend. You fly fine I think, especially considering you focus on many other things. I mainly focus on flying and I fly a lot...and concentrate practice sessions on specific things. Not sure how many hours I have flying STOL planes, but it is a bunch...lol.
@@ModelAV8RChannel It sure shows you have done it before.
I'm definitely not flying as much as I want. The days are still short, so no flying after work yet. And the weekends are mostly busy.
But I try to do at least one battery of landing practice when I'm out. It sure helps a lot.
@@YetAnotherRcChannel It absolutely does...I tell my students you won't get good at it logging one landing per flight...😄
@@ModelAV8RChannel 😂✌️
@@YetAnotherRcChannel Ahahahahah!
Ive like ten Planes in boxes and twelve built and Rx'd that I need to maiden yet.
Once You get the Jist around this, You have conquered the great mystery of RC kooking.
My Multiple tubes of Foam Tac are suddenly lonely.
All the best to You YARCC.
Real nice, love to meet up with these guys😎
Thanks buddy...they are a cool bunch of pilots!
Outstanding work Adam. Hangar 9 makes exceptional kits and this one certainly ranks up there. Great engineering under the hood. Of course beautiful flying!
Thanks David! Means a lot coming from you...the engineering on your F-14...awesome. I agree H9 makes awesome stuff. I do like to make them more serviceable than they intend though. They never seem to make getting to components as easy as I think it should be, and I'm one of those crazy "actually does annuals on his models" guys...lol.
Love hearing all the techniques used to achieve the scale appearance👍what motor are you running in that rig?
Hey Jake! Did you ever get your 150's flying right? Thanks for watching buddy! All the components are listed on the set up page before the flying. It has a E flite Power 60 (I think the 470kv).
@Model AV8R Iv gotten the carbon z cessna flying, had a few successful flights last week. I was pretty stoked about that. Still waiting on the right conditions to get the aerobat out tho. Lots of wind in late winter/spring here in New England. I see the specs now. I looked right thru em cuz I couldn't wait to see the cub in action!
Awesome man glad you got one of em' out. We had some crazy winds Saturday...30mph! Then flew Sunday...5mph. Crazy wx. Yeah that Carbon Cub is a fun one!
you won me over so I subbed! then I see you subbed already lol THX
Hey man awesome! Thank you! Yep I've seen you in Jeffs live stream I think, and it dawned on me I hadn't checked your channel out...glad I did...good stuff!
another great video friend
Thanks very much! Awesome of Cory to help with the video!
Do you have a part number or length of the screws you used for windscreen? I should have asked in my last question.
Sure...I get them from Micro Fasteners. The part number is SMPPK0104. They are pan head sheet metal screws - #1x1/4. Black Onyx Phillips. 100ct.
@Model AV8R Thanks so much ! Subscribed love the channel !
You are very welcome and thank you very much for subscribing!
Hi Adam, hope you had a great summer & are doing well.
Did the extreme flight tail wheel bracket require you to add blind nuts?
Hope you still fly this awesome airplane.
You videos and channel are outstanding. Easily one of the very best R/C flying channels.
That's an awesome looking and flying plane, I'm dreaming about moving to America and buying one of them... But the whole awesome impression is spoiled by that awkward sound on landing when the tail wheel touches the ground... Is there any solution for it like hollow rubber tail wheel or some torsion spring for dumping this weird jumps of the tail?
Thanks for watching! It is an awesome airplane. That sound isn't the tail wheel, its the main gear suspension. There's a lot of moving metal parts, and it can't be tightened to the point of tolerance to make little noise as it wouldn't articulate correctly and be more susceptible to breakage. It's just the nature of the beast when you fly big scale balsa on electric power. Usually there is a nitro or gas engine that drowns that stuff out. With the electrics...you hear everything. Doesn't bother me, but I'm used to it.
Great video as always. Very professional and informative. I have the Horizon baby version Cub and maybe with some fertilizer and water it will grow up to be as good as yours!
Hey Joe thanks for watching! Fertilizer should work...or maybe steroids! Lol.
HOLY COW, YOU GOT IT! 😀🛩️👍👍😛😋🤗 Me and Jimmy gonna watch NOW!
Jimmy is awesome! You are too, just not as much! Lol. Our dog Piper is way cooler than me...
@@ModelAV8RChannel Hilarious and absolutely true comment, Brother ☺️! I'm hitting play on the H9 Carbon Cub now. You've I image had many planes, but still u must be pretty jazzed!
Cool plane from skyler
Hey Jim! Tell Skyler I said thank you!
Just found your video today. Very timely since I’m in the middle putting the Hangar 9 Carbon Cub together. I was looking for a controller for wig-wag lights and there was your solution. Love some of your other mods, especially using the bungees in the landing gear. The stock gear seems so stiff. I’m using the RCGF 20cc twin for power . Hopefully flies as well as yours. Ordered one of Corey’s Flying Cowboys decals long before ordering the plane which inspired me to build this cub. Great video. I’ll be using some of your great ideas in my build. Hopefully turns out as nice as yours
Hey that is great! Glad it was helpful. You will love it...such a good flying plane! Thanks for watching and the very kind words! E mail us at the channel e mail and let us know how the build/maiden goes.
Do the small self tapping screws hold well ? Do you pre-drill, or does the self tapping point work well through the Polycarbonate?
Thank you for watching! They hold well. I tape the windscreen down, mark and pre-drill all the holes, screw the screws in, back them all out, remove the windscreen, reinforce the holes with thin ca, and after that dries fully install the windscreen. Basically the same you'd do when drilling and preparing holes for servo screws. It is really important that you let the ca dry fully...if not it can cloud up the clear poly-carbonate.
@Model AV8R Thanks ! I'll order the screws. Mine will be dropped off tomorrow, looking forward to getting it assembled and in the air for our clubs CUB event.
You'll like it...great plane.
I would love a set of those decals for my carbon cub love the flying cowboys flaps
Thanks for watching! Callie graphics did the decals.
Thank you very much just got my cc last week just trying to figure out Whether or not to go gas or electric pretty sure I decided on gas but I loved all the mods of the dears watch the video a few times thanks for posting keep it up

Mods of yours
Ps I love the flying cowboys
I love the dubros but on that enormous weight i choose the kavans
Yep. I have some Kavans, they are pretty hard. I like that the Du Bro's at least add some suspension and softness. But yeah...they are super heavy.
