SONNY MONKS Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 So ones built this plane,or is everyone ignoring me lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Bowlan Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I think everyone is ignoring you Sonny. If you include a link or screenshot of the model you are referring to it might illicit a better response. Most suppliers seem to be sold out if that is the model you are referring to?

Denis Watkins Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 This is the Perkins JP Cub, at Steve Webb's, same price as your kit Sonny But it is built and covered ARTF **LINK** Like Percy says, its difficult to spend more on bits and build time than a quick fix in a box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Looking at the links it looks exactly the same as the hobbyking model i built which was an easy pleasant build but lacked scale detail which would add weight and additional cost , my is electric . Happy building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Cubs need the use of rudder more than many other models and pulling to the left with a conventional engine is to be expected. Start the take off run with the elevator holding the tail down, don't snap the throttle open but feed it in progressively and counteract the swing with rudder, ensuring that if there's a crosswind that the wings are kept level with aileron. As the speed rises, let the tail come up (it's a long way to level on a Cub!) and let the model fly off when its ready. Dragging it into the air too soon risks a stall and control authority will be very much reduced even if it keeps flying. Watch any full size and you won't see it clawing for the sky (airshow stunters excepted) - there will be a period while it accelerates to a safe climbing speed parallel to the ground. Try to duplicate that and I suspect you'll find it much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul coleman 1 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Thanks martin,its electric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Williams Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I don't think Martin meant that this only happens with i/c engines. I think he meant 'conventional prop rotation direction', i.e. anti-clockwise viewed from the front. If the prop rotated the other way the aircraft would swing to the right. It doesn't matter what is driving the prop - i/c, electric, rubber, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
