2/3 Scale 19FT Wingspan electric start Piper Cub flys NAMFI 2012 SMMAC

[@ZicajosProductions]

That landing could not have been any better! Perfect, and great job with the plane!

[@ekrwy2]

When I put this video on mute. It looks like I’m watching the real thing. That’s how good he did with the the engine selection, prop selection, weight ratio, etc. Perfect Job!

[@jj8995]

I had a 9ft wing span I thought was big and I loved it but your beast is absolutely wonderful A great plane to watch fly no acrobatics no speed just pure enjoyment thank you

[@stwrthnn]

Beautiful and I haven't even mentioned your airplane. So perfect it does throw one off a bit about the engine sound and prop size as one easily imagines the real thing. Hey, I'm so envious of your club facilities, your aircraft and pilot skills. Everything rates an A+ in my opinion.

[@normg2242]

Love it...!!! At this size they start handling more like a real plane than a twitchy rc model. Would love to know what it feels like to fly it!

[@FarmerFpv]

Nice looks like a clipped wing Cub, That sound is amazing!

[@ronaldgreen5292]

Beautiful plane, almost too big, in scale. It flies like the real thing! The prop doe's seem a little too small, but, this plane is old in design, and was meant to be low, and slow, and be very reliable. The original engine, only made 45-67 horsepower.

[@idontneednostinkingchannel6848]

Motor and prop too small but some of the best piloting skills and landing I think I ever saw!

[@TokoBagusGadget]

Yes i do

[@Joeteck]

Damn! Sounds and looks like a full-scale plane! impressive!

[@AP4547]

It takes off, flys & lands like a cub should.

[@1celticflyer444]

A three point would be like it should

[@shawnmccrary5526]

I have a J-3 with a 100 horse, dual wing tanks, Alaskan Bush belly pod with 29 inch tundra tires. I wish I had a photo of the two side by side. Love the sound. Just needs a belly pod now.

[@howardjohnson6584]

It's just me, but it looks like the prop is too small.

[@raysills]

A larger prop might not help unless the engine RPMs were lower. Too much speed and length, and the prop tips could go super sonic, or at least be over stressed.

[@howardjohnson6584]

Thanks.

[@mickeybitsko8333]

Tiny engines spin fast. The prop blade tips have to remain sub-sonic. It certainly does look weird.

[@rogertycholiz2218]

High revving 2-stroke. Should have use 4-stroke with the proper scale prop.

[@sharpeel1]

Howard Johnson i

[@tracnunya7165]

best cub i have seen, props seems a little small i assume cause its direct drive with higher rpm ?

[@DaninVA]

Wow, great flying and a very cool Cub. I am surprised though, that you did not have flaps and a water rudder.

[@krisreekmans]

great model . And it moves very realistic because it is so large ! Well done !

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

Man that Cub is a MONSTER! Sweet Video!

[@CrusaderSports250]

Very nice plane and well flown, for water operations how about a two thirds Martin Mars!!! 😊.

[@meangreen7389]

Handling characteristics come close full scale, great vid.

[@peterolson5567]

Lovely video, lovely field, lovely club profile! Thank you!

[@airmunn]

Very nice looking and it looks like it flys pretty good too.

[@jtuttle11]

That Propeller Looks RIDICULOUS.

[@Compromised-yk9mc]

It's a model not the real thing and it flies perfectly. The owner obviously knows what he is doing.

[@hunterblacksmith4637]

I admire your workmanship! nice plane.

[@cccc5612]

Reminded me of the full scale mini cub ultralight

[@lorenzodunn3226]

Excellent film footage and sound.

[@screaminlordbyron7767]

Wow great rc plane! It's weird though I've seen a 3/4 cub ultralight that is only ever so slightly bigger than this but fits a pilot inside. I guess rc and manned aircraft are two different worlds but cool when they cross over

[@flyrc88]

Hey love the tundra tires!!!!!! Cubs fly better with a slightly smaller prop in my opinion. I think he knows what he's doing .....

[@3bbygrlz]

I think the prop is a bit small. maybe not scale but for weight/drag . you don't fly around at full throttle in a scale cub either

[@gabrieluribe1852]

Beautiful my Grandfather had a real one in chihuahua Mexico, my Father flew solo at 15 years of age in 1949 my uncle was older and los a wheel on a church bell tower, cause he was showing off drunk to his girlfriend and landed with one wheel and the tail dragger, he servied, and later in life bought a Cessna ?126? I think.

[@wingnutzster]

A great accomplishment, very nice, that's how an RC airee should sound and fly! My question would be about the span, why the shortened wings? Also the airfoil seems a lot thicker in section than that of the scale bird and most RC Cubs too, I realize the fatter wing gives good STOL performance and lowers the stall speed but shortening the wing is supposed o do the opposite and give a better roll rate? the tundra tyres seem to slow her down massively and that coupled with the tiny prop and she seems a real dog in the air..comments?

[@georgespailding9580]

[@jetvalmonte4742]

I did click "like" for this video. Loved the plane, piloting, the scale flying and all. Just wondering like previous posters, why a larger, slower spinning prop was not used. Would have delivered a more realistic over-all presentation. As it was, the engine sounded like a screaming WWII fighter rather than the 65 horsepower Continental of the Cub. It did look like a Clipped Wing Cub, though and those used a little bigger engine. Just a little constructive criticism, easy to correct with a motor/prop swap, and not meant to demean a beautiful plane and the great skill that went into building it.

[@whoknows8678]

With a huge scale model like that you'd think he would have sprung for a nicer sounding engine like a multi-cylinder four stroke.

[@jorgenelsonfelix52]

MUY HERMOSO EL PIPER CUB. LES MANDO UN GRAN SALUDO DESDE ARGENTINA .

[@calvinellis4610]

I’ve been there and seen that and yes it’s under prop.

[@phil123711]

Well he loves it and it gives him a lot of fun. It drew u to watch it. So it's a drawcard.

[@vipertruck100]

Sound is not to bad, nice bush plane anyway.

[@idleonlooker1078]

Beautifully flown - and landed. Nice! 👍

[@mikewhite4628]

It this is true to scale, is it the clipped wing version? Would be great doing slow aerobatics. Nice job and flying.

[@RCEngMagazine]

This would be very fun to fly! And a little scary, but fun!

[@ChrisDavis-ct5mj]

That is one beautiful cub, was it a scratch build or did you have a set of plans?

[@Thuribles]

Very cool. What a large Piper Cub. Liked and subscribed.

[@feickgerold1265]

This is a very beatiful Model, I congratulate you to fly so a big Plane. I´m also a Modelplane Pilot and my biggest Plane has got a Wingspan 5 Feet. I think the Model looks like very fine, but the only thing is what I dont like is. There is a two Stroke Motor in this Plane, and in the real Plane is build in a 4 Stroke Motor. I know 4 Stroke Motors are very expensive for this size from the Plane.

[@dockmasterted]

my question: How would it handle with a larger prop? .....the one it has looks to small in size.

[@mickeybitsko8333]

Prop tips must remain sub-sonic. An engine that size is very high RPM. To sling a big prop he'd have to use complex and heavy gear reduction.

[@alexchui2090]

Yes, I think so

[@rickmullins4730]

Flies very nice, slow and fun.

[@ColeAviation]

Beautiful Cub! Well done! I have a 1946 Full Scale J-3 Cub and wouldn't take nothing in the world for it. What motor are you running in this plane? And what's the weight? Thanks & GOD BLESS!

[@inespatino4640]

Great plane man! simply perfect. great job.

[@tzef73]

Excellent.. Always loved the cub

[@hillbilly4christ638]

Amazing. Sounds great! Awesome job.

[@zeogiannes]

Absolutely beautiful field!

[@MrJonnymellor]

Now that's a mini cub,love it,thanks for sharing!

[@charlesotwell4829]

Thank you ,made my day! Very incredible build. Thanks

[@pombalrebello]

TOP, BUT SMALL propeller

[@pombalrebello]

almost takes a person

[@leroyburkett9904]

These planes are beautiful and probably cost as much as the real thing. I love watching but I still I would rather be in a situation that would allow me to be up there.

[@dockmasterted]

no expert either, but the prop looks like it could be a bit bigger ....... would the engine be able to power a larger prop?

[@MCHFacts]

Holy cow those tires!!!! What is that a monster plane!!

[@bernpowell6072]

Cool cub ,how long did it take to build , what engine did it take ?

[@williamgrimberg7722]

Be nice to have a rotating camera inside the cab .

[@patricksmith8205]

Does the FAA get involved when they are this large?

[@ColeAviation]

Check out my latest video of me flying my Cub with cockpit footage. 😀👍🏼

[@renopn]

Very nicely flown, excelent

[@beforeiaddmorecontent]

why not just build a full scale?

[@brianhacker5745]

He owns a full size cub and he is a pilot.

[@rickdavis3593]

I think a 1 1/3 38ft wingspan should be next.

[@TheRealWALLABI]

building a full scale aircraft to fly in it comes with a whole lot of additional trouble and regulations.

[@donhover1567]

Nice flying luv the kin great balloon tyres would be nice if you could run a prop reduction and use a bigger prop for scale appearance but all in all a nice plane.

[@patricklastname5646]

Great semi real plane however I wonder...you invest 3 to 4 grands in an engine that you mount on a Cub? What does a cub do? Take off, go around, then around, then around again, phew...landing!

[@hacker8675309]

@sac78008 I think it is a clipped wing cub..

[@qm1usn]

I really enjoyed watching this. Love cubs and really loved the bush wheels! Will it do 3 point landings? or does the elevator stall before the wing?

[@sac78008]

Is the wingspan scale? It looks like they might be clipped a bit?

[@libardodelarosa1431]

Hello. Excelent. ¿wath engine cc?

[@FPVREVIEWS]

I thought the Title said "Electric Smart Cub" Nice model nonetheless!

[@johnmcgahern3946]

Why are the wheels so oversized?

[@sammydavis4445]

Great job, building and flying (very Scale). Needs a pilot though.

[@HPPalmtopTube]

just put a seat and controls in it and a 10 year old could fly it ! :)

[@jacobisaacs9436]

Very nice plane looks like it fly's good I bet It drinks the fuel but very cool plane good landing

[@Vincent-Vega24]

Dam that thing is beautiful!!!!

[@amberwren1388]

Did you build that or buy a kit. if you bought a kit tell me where you bought it at

[@flyrc88]

Where did you source those tires?? Thx

[@holdafest7744]

Okay Carmium. I didnt know that, but now i understand :) Thanks.

[@amberwren1388]

where did you get the plane

[@walterriely4032]

Amazing !:-) Only two things killed the illusion for being real & that was the non scale prop & it had no driver, shame as otherwise you couldn't tell. Scale speed was about right :-)

[@TheKenwiesner]

K yup that's BIG !!!

[@flightmonkey4225]

I bet a child could fly in this thing! 😎

[@TheKenwiesner]

Flying Monkey absolutely I don't doubt that a second But well haha Not exactly goona pass aviation safety for that HAHAHA

[@flightmonkey4225]

RC Planes yeah, and all of the angry moms. : )

[@johnnyuk3806]

Nice video thanks

[@themagicshortbus1715]

That's bad ass!! Nice J3!

[@redpineapple6765]

Who else feels like a small child could fit in this?

[@devinwren1819]

if you ever sold the plane then how much would you sell it for

[@jihnk1]

where do i get tires like that

[@RCHeliJet]

😍😍😍 😍😍😍 😍😍😍

[@lbbradley55]

Yea I think that prop is to short . But I don't get why you didn't spend another NICKEL and Fly it from INSIDE. Gee BUT IT SURE SOUNDS GREAT

[@harpomarx7777]

You would think that with this level of sophistication ... electric start ... they would have some muffler technology as well. That damned thing was loud even in the air.

[@bjrnlarsen9538]

+Harpo Marx The engine isn't what is making the high pitch sound, it's the propeller that is "ripping". Beutiful model though, but it could rather need a reduction gearbox and a scale size prop, that would counter the issues with prop noise as well.

[@ThomasDoubting5]

That prop the engines screaming and getting nowhere what the heck is that about?

[@phapnui]

Why not add a foot or two so you could actually hop in and fly it?

[@hunterfagan6272]

you should've went inside of it and controlled it

[@slimjimandpepsi]

why have a 2 3rd scale when you can have a 1 scale and be able to sit in it

[@sierrahp]

I’d be tempted to try and crawl inside that one.

[@TheRealWALLABI]

building a full size plane to sit and fly in it comes with a whole lot of additional trouble, burdens and regulations. An RC plane on the contrary is "easy" to build and operate when you don't have to comply with hundreds of regulations.

[@hillbilly4christ638]

​@@TheRealWALLABIthat, and it is a whole lot safer. I have been reviewing aircraft accidents and it makes one wonder why anyone flies at all. To top that off, look at the airshow accidents. Qualified pilots with thousands of hours of training and experience are gone in a moment. Rc airshows have lots of mishaps, but no one gets hurt or dies.

[@jorgenelsonfelix52]

Espectacular muy bueno 😎👍

[@bobczz3919]

Nice looking plane.

[@hrbeta]

Nice plane. Can you use a more scale-like prop? It looks way too tiny.

[@skyepelser8068]

Looks like a mad donalds toy with those clipped wings!

[@saywhat8635]

Prop looks a little small but fly’s realistically!

[@chrisrushlau]

Weight? And commenters should check the comments to see if their point has already been made.

[@147258GS]

There's no person in that thing?

[@19satellite71]

Sweet model but isn't the prop a little small? Just an observation.

[@hacker8675309]

he has a real one.

[@envitech02]

This thing is so large that a small kid pilot could actually fit inside.

[@envitech02]

The prop looked a tad too small though.

[@SkipFlem]

Great way to give your 3yo an 'airplane ride'.

[@barryjohnson2865]

Amazing stuff!!!!!!!!!!

[@itsyeboy_kun1312]

I love the sound
