Yeah fish the cub is a animal with the park 480 jumps off the water in a few feet alot of fun but I just used my elevator and rudder I have ailerons but with the dehideral in the wing they don't work as well as the rudder but my motor is putting out alot more torque I may need to adjust my torque thrust alittle but it is a sweet flyer

Sonds like you at least had some fun before the wind got to high!
Thats all that counts right !!
This place seems like all we get is high winds or hgh winds along with rain or snow ?
I have not made it past newb at RC flight in two and a half years yet ?!?!?
I am geting frustraited with the weather here any more !
I told you the up grade would be beter fore the floats guy !!
I need to transfer my floats to my lipo/out runner plane to get used to the floats .
Is any one else having trouble with the control horns working loose on on thier SCs
or slow sticks ?
Our foam planes seem like they are all getting slopy and we have not goten
that much use out of them yet ?

Yeah I got to have some fun I am going to try this evining to do a couple flights off the lake by my house and test my dads cub for him. Are they the control horns that are pressed in with the little things like zip ties?

[Dimeflyer]

They have the backer plates that sandwich the foam - one plate top and one on the
bottom of the elevator , one on each side of the rudder .
Some have a backer plate along with the horn in one piece and a seperate one
on the other side of foam .
both types I have good ones and bad ones that seem to come apart when you try to control the plane so I think I will try puting a balsa plate in the foam and use the old fashioned type horn with screws through a backer plate ?!?

I really like that plane rack you have in your room. I may have to do something like this ad well. I was trying to figure out were to put all my planes. Did you build it?

Here is the link to the led kit I put on her...the kit comes complete with a control board,red&green solid nav lights, 2 flashing red beacon lights, 2 white strobes for the back of the wing, and 2 solid white landing lights. I ran everything through the fuselage or through slits I cut on the bottom of the wing. It is a very nice kit with an even nicer price...I get almost all of my electronics from HobbyPartz.com

Well this has been an interesting thread. I read it from day one till the end. Looks like not much on here latley at least this thread.

I hear that. I love both my Cubs cant wait to fly them again upon my return home. A lot of folks own a SC many folks tell of their first time with it. As I it was my first plane. I learned on it and it still refuses to retire. I am sure I will keep pushing FWD to the brink of explosion and continue to rebuild it. I may have to change "flirting with Disaster" to "FrankenCub the Disaster" as scared up she has gotten
