Preflight checks are our religion. Always check before flying. The life you save might be your own. Want to help support what we do? Consider purchasing your Super Cub from bit.ly/SuperCub1300 - we'd really appreciate it.
Preflight every pack.....I had a situation the other day I ran 2 packs thru my timber x and I put a 3rd pack in and took off and my aelerons and elevator were reversed....luckily I just let it fly straight and had the room to coach myself to land it with reversed controls and brought it down like a nice bag of hammers....only damage was broken prop tip from it striking the ground with the suspension full squatted.....very lucky....but def pre flight before every takeoff
EVERY time anything is plugged up, it's like booting up a new anything. Several times, (b4 I went all spektrum), stuff was reversed. I lost an antique Tribute profile from that.
I always preflight. Especially my UMX Turbo Timber I chase cars with as they pass by my house. A bad servo could end up giving the neighborhood dogs I compete against, the advantage.
great video guys!!
Preflight every time, or else you'll end up like TheRCSaylors complaining about a "bad servo" if they would have checked before that flight, they wouldn't have nosed into the ground.
Another amazing video!! You just keep steppin’ on my toes with these Cub aircrafts!! Thanks for all you do!!
First of all thanks for the video and greetings from Sweden!
This video made me buy this plane an get in the hobby, took it out for a spin last weekend and it flew super, i had to get home twice and charge the two lipos i bougt, the last two battery packs i even flew with reflex gyro completly turned off and made rolls, loops and even some mild inverted flying on high altitude. I must say i think it is a great beginners plane if you have studied youtube about stalls and what not to do in the air. I have never tried rc planes before and the only training i had was from Grand Theft Auto V.
Happy to hear it worked out so well for you!
Looks like a cool bush plane great flying man
I asked for one for Christmas weeks ago. Hoping my wife got it before they were out of stock. Thanks for the video!
Really great rc plane and the pilot is very amazing...very good
Your comment about the video with the front falling off was delivered with such ice, I love it!
AS long as they have supposedly been flying, 1 would NEVER know.
Just found your channel via a F22 short you posted. Completely jealous of all of your work and love watching it. Please keep up the awesome content!! More Raptor stuff!!!
The F-22 needs to be rebuilt which will be a project for early next year.
Awesome guys love your reviews 🤙🏻🛩🇬🇧
I change everything I fly over to avian esc's. The + is they will handle 6s, IF needed (or wanted😁). Telemetry is also nice, especially battery life/air time.
Great video! I was surprised to this size but I can understand them making it as the 1700mm is so good. It looks solid and as I already have an Arrows Bigfoot I guess they both give about the same performance in the same size. Tires on the Bigfoot are rock hard but that's both a con and a pro compared to the super soft ones on this PA-18.
I replaced the prop with an eolo 12x6.5 and noticed a decent increase in performance. It's the prop that comes with the omp bighorn which is a nice plane if you haven't checked it out.
12x6 sounds like a good upgrade to consider. Given how nice this flies and how stable it is on the ground, we're actually considering a Xoar prop for it.
Hi. Thanks for your videos, they are really helpful. I have one of these cubs, which is a little weak on 3S and would like to upgrade to a 60 Amp ESC to use a 4S. Do you have a video on installing such an esc and any further useful info? Thanks again.
We used a 45 amp Avian in ours: bit.ly/3SUokU5 - ESC install is super simple, it should be accessible easily.
I just watched tail heavy's video on this thing. It's gonna be hard to break! 😂
Unless you nose dive it. 😉
@@TwoBrosRC I mean, they did fly it into a fence! It might have a chance! 😂😂😂
My 1.7m is a fun plane. I got 12 minute flights on a 4000 mah 4S pack. I had so much fun with it that when the motor and firewall flew off mid-flight and I had to dead-stick it, I converted it to glow. I threw an OS Max FP40 in it and rebuilt a stronger firewall, threw in a 500 ml tank and I get 45-55 minute flights now. I'd never go back to electric on it. Haha
We're hoping FMS sends the 1.7m over sometime because it looks like a ton of fun and comes with floats out of the box. How'd you manage to rip the nose off?
@@TwoBrosRC I suspect it was an unbalanced prop situation. The firewall and cowl and motor just flew off on the downwind pass after climb out. Luckily, the oversized battery kept my cg good enough to set her down gently.
Edit: I took off from an unmaintained hay field, so any number of things could have happened. The only foam that was damaged was the part holding the firewall. The nose stayed on for the most part.
I had had issues with the motor before, too. I went through like 3 motors on that plane before it took out the firewall.
If I was looking for a forgiving cub type that would perform well at say 4,000 altitude and very much of the year hot temps which is where my landing strip is wud u recommend this or turbo timber or other?
Get the 1700mm Cub instead. You'll want a bigger wingspan for the thinner air, though it shouldn't make much of a difference until you hit closer to 6,000+. Check out our vid on the 1700: ua-cam.com/video/esIjtHr-iRk/v-deo.html
Hey Jon have you tried the 1700mm on floats? I don't see a video on your page about the 1700mm if you got a link for the 1700mm I'm in Canada and I'm planning g on ordering one
We don't have the 1700mm just yet. It's on the to-do list!
Here's the link to the plane if you'd like to support us: www.fmshobby.com/products/fms-1700mm-pa-18-super-cub-pnp-with-floats-reflex-v2-for-canada?ref=2brosrc
This is the Canada version so it should work out great for you.
Hi! Greetings from Brazil! Do you think I can use this plane with a 4s 3200mah (350g) if I upgrade the esc? Thank you!!
No, it won't physically fit.
Jons, Where should i plug the two cable wires for wing light. Thanks
The manual should cover it.
I wanna see if this or the funcub original or the funcub Ng ....who comes out on top of they were all 3 in a thunderdome situation
We flew a Fun Cub with Tail Heavy. It's definitely more of a plane for the dedicated bush pilot who wants to fly in cramped areas and fly as slow as possible. This model definitely can't live up to that reputation, but it's great for bigger areas.
Can't wait until it's back in stock
Here's hoping it'll be soon!
Lmao I love the subtle dissing going towards that one channel
We'd prefer not to name them directly but they're definitely a big part of what's wrong with RC influencing right now. It's unacceptable.
Y'all want me to mention the name? 😁😁😁
@@old-rcplane-phart Your call!
@@TwoBrosRC i wanted to buy a Skysurfer x8 and in their review of it they put on the prop backwards and then said it was underpowered and could berly climed. they didnt redo the video they just mentioned it in a comment and made a video flying it normally a few week later...
@@old-rcplane-phart who??
Nice demo of this little cub bro !!! But what is your best CG ???? I don’t want a lipo placement but a figure 😂😂😂
Look where Jon's fingers are in the CG chapter lol
Got mine about two weeks ago. Absolutely LOVE it! I’m on a budget. So I’m sticking with 3s 2200 mAh packs for now. And I’m on my second prop. Must’ve hit it just right while “bush” flying. That’s it, though! I’m a total rookie RC pilot- my 1st plane is a timberX UMX and it’s mostly tape and glue, now. So I’m hoping to take better care of this beauty. Anyway, I absolutely love this super Cub. Can’t wait for the floats to be back in stock. Great review!! This review was one of the reasons I chose this plane. 👍🏼
Happy to hear that, AL! Hope you enjoy it for years to come!
Is this going to replace the kingfisher? What’s the difference between the 2? I definitely like the looks of the super cub better, I always wanted the 1700 mm version, but need a smaller plane to toss in the backseat and go. I’ve got enough planes that I have to take apart to go fly.
Also, love the snark towards those that deserve it. All in good fun I hope.
It's definitely a better model than the Kingfisher in many ways, but the KF is still a lot of fun.
@@TwoBrosRC
Especially with a 60a avian, 12x5 wood prop, & 4s/2700/50c. 10 min flights & almost AS fun as a timber x. (Kingfisher)
Hope Saylor does pre-check on his next maiden, but then could be supply chain QC on these servos.
You can always replace a servo if you see that it's faulty on the ground or with some load applied to it with your hand. Better than chunking a brand new plane, right?
I notice Petrincic Brothers in Slovenia always do precheck but they still film their maidens unedited with failures sometimes.
Can you tell me why my pa-18 tail stays very low on take off? Makes it hard to recover
Can't tell you much without seeing video. Post it on our Discord and we'll check it out: bit.ly/TBRCDiscord
Have you flown the 1700mm version? If so, which do you like better?
We haven't yet - we're waiting on FMS to send it over once it gets stocked again.
Dose it hover with a 3s and can you use a 4s with the stock esc or is that to much?
Check our latest vids on it.
That one with the giveaway?
Do you prefer this or the Arrows Bigfoot? Same size class.
Bigfoot flies lighter, Super Cub has better wheels and tires. Ultimately it's a decision you gotta make based on how light you prefer your airframes to be. Check our Bigfoot vid for more info: ua-cam.com/video/d4lnBKEQqeI/v-deo.html
Hi mate what type of battery connection is used with fms?
XT60 or EC3. They're basically interchangeable.
@TwoBrosRC thanks mate 👍
Are the size of the tires realistic? Are there real counterpart of this plane?
The Super Cub is a full scale version of this plane and it can be flown with similarly sized bush tires.
I would keep the air out of the tires to keep the weight low. 😜
Uh, OK.
How does this compare to the Kingfisher ?
It's heavier and less floaty.
Exactly what I needed to know, thanks!
Nice review and camera work, ladies and gentlemen. I REALLY like this one, it's great size for me. So the esc didn't need to be swapped for 4s like the Kingfisher??
I'll have to wait for the restock, PNP is sold out everywhere.....
AirHammer out!!
They use the same ESC - we just prefer the Avian unit because of the integrated voltage telemetry and thrust reverse that works with Spektrum setups natively. 4s would work on both models without any problem.
They put in Avian esc to get a thrust reverse, but FMS claims that the stock esc already has a thrust reversing function. 🤔
@@WCKD. We're not sure how the 40 amp ESC would have thrust reverse capability considering it doesn't have an additional servo lead to run the signal for it. Moreover, there's no mention of thrust reverse on the 40 amp product listing or its manual. It's probably just a site error - we'll let FMS know so they can update the site.
@@TwoBrosRC you know, I thought I eyeballed this plane using thrust reverse in the FMS promo video.
Interesting. No idea how it would function.
The stock esc has reversing thrust
But it doesn't have voltage telemetry which is why we replaced it.
Lol you put the RcSaylors on blast, which I still don't know if it was Nate's fault for a straight vertical takeoff into a stall while pulling flaps, an alleged faulty elevator servo, or a mixture of both causing catastrophic failure and removal of said nose.
It's unacceptable to us to take up a flying machine and NOT check it thoroughly before flying. Elevator servos don't fail immediately after takeoff. We've flown thousands of times in the past two and a half years and have never experienced a total elevator failure that wasn't obviously our own fault - like the servo came loose because we added an aftermarket servo and didn't secure it properly. You're flying a potentially deadly machine around people and property. It demands your full attention both BEFORE flying and DURING flight.
It's unconscionable to us to be provided a model like this from FMS and then immediately wreck it without having performed even the most basic preflight check. If we sound harsh, it's because this kind of attitude toward the hobby is 100% unacceptable. We can debate endlessly about gyros vs no gyros, batteries, flight styles, etc - but aviation safety is NOT up for debate. If you're posting content to YT, you should be held to a higher standard - you're setting an example for people. Don't set a bad example.
@@TwoBrosRC I fully agree with everything you've stated being a long time RC pilot, and really any true maiden should never be filmed because it adds so much more complexity and things to think about instead of a first good flight with safety considerations. That particular review actually turned people off of FMS products just from reading the comments, and is not responsible, indicative or a good representation of FMS and it's products as a whole.
I assure you any electromechanical device can fail at any time. Little rack and pinion gearing like in a servo are cast net shape and can have little cracks and burrs that once dislodged, might very well wait until the weakness is fatigued to the point of failure. That very well could be the case anytime during flight. One thing I learned as a private pilot was that there is no such thing as alway and never when it comes to flying. There is no such thing in the manufacture of servos either.
@@shortbiggie Well, yes, that's true - but as we mentioned, we've flown thousands of times and have only had servos fail three times out of those flights. It's exceedingly rare unless you're beating them up on the ground. The issue with the person we're discussing is that he knew the servo was bad and flew it anyhow. That's a terrible example to set for people and demonstrates a complete lack of concern for aviation safety for either himself, his wife, or the airport he's flying at.
Agreed. A screwy servo prior to flight should have grounded the plane, especially being the elevator. I think it’s important to push the edge to find where the performance limits might be. That’s what sets apart testers from mere “promoters.” Now if the Midwest winds ever decide to take a break, I want to get this plane in the air myself. By the way, I checked the fit of my FMS Kingfisher floats and water rudder on this plane and they are a drop-in fit, no tweaks necessary.
Great video and nice review. Comments so far are a disappointment. You don't make yourself taller by cutting off other peoples knees and bad examples can still be learned from. There will always be someone better or smarter than you or I that can just as easily critique anything we do.
Nobody's being kneecapped. The fact is that people with influence need to be held to higher standards. There is no reason why a preflight check should be skipped in full scale or model scale aviation. The risk of seriously injuring someone or destroying property with a model aircraft is huge. Influencers owe it to their audience AND their sponsors to produce quality content AND demonstrate safe procedures. A preflight is the most basic thing anyone can do to ensure that something will fly safely and correctly.
When are you guys doing another live? Would love to chat.
Probably not for a long time, if ever. It's very time consuming and we don't have the facilities required to make it look professional enough. You can join us on Discord if you'd like to chat live though! discord.gg/VQBt8UBUKy
I would love to win the cub with pontoons!
Unfortunately we're not running a contest right now
Do you prefer this or the king fisher?
It depends on what you're trying to do. Kingfisher is a bit more aerobatic and has more 3D potential, but the Super Cub isn't slouching either.
@@TwoBrosRC interesting. I’m looking at easing Into 3d flying and something 4s. This would be my second plane. I fly in a rough hay field which has been fine for my prime tundra, hoping the king fishers landing gear is up to it. Have you ever flown or reviewed the hobby king tundras?
@@wyant4 Nope, we've never bought from HK.
I want this plane but it looks like a pain to take apart and haul compared to my timber
Timbers do have it beat for ease of assembly, but it only takes a minute or so to take it apart.
I have a Chevy equinox. I can get the 1700mm in it fully assembled. The 1300 mm will be easy to load. I suspect it will load fine in about any small hatchback
@@shortbiggie yea it will fit by itself I usually take more than one plane. But I probably won’t let it stop me from getting this one.
1.5mm X-fly Tasman has the same wheels n tires on it.
Unsurprising given that FMS probably makes the Tasman for them.
Sweet Plane for the money
Wait until you see it on floats tomorrow!
@@TwoBrosRC ill be back to check it out then...I was amazed at what you were able to do with the EC1500 on floats.
Hey when you landed it looked like you had reverse thrust
It did.
@@TwoBrosRC okay did it come like that or did you make it like that, sorry I’m a beginner😂
Join us on Discord, it's easier to explain there: bit.ly/TBRCDiscord
@@TwoBrosRC ok
You need to deflate the tires a little.
1 PSI ought to do it.
@@TwoBrosRC maybe. They are likely pretty thin tires with lots of internal space. Bush plane tires tend to look extremely low for aggressive landings. I'd leave a link, but the Tube doesn't like links in comments haha
Edit: it is surface area friction on the ground that keeps it from bouncing.
What happened to the video were your were roasting the Rc Saylors and saying that this is the best bush plane of 2023?
We took it down because it was unnecessarily hostile.
Maybe you saw this in videos where the front fell off *cough* RCSaylors *cough* (just a joke ik their elevator servo locked out, not their fault.)
Taking off without making sure your aircraft is airworthy is pilot error, though.
@@TwoBrosRC That is true.
It alr had reverse
🆗️
