Carbon Cub S2 Low N Slow N Aerobatics

[@BillKisel]

You sound like a young guy but I can see that you're already an accomplished RC Pilot. Congrats!

[@mdoutdoors.8481]

Thanks. I’ve been flying a year.

[@michaelhemmingsen4430]

Great job adding flaps - they are fun. Once I wore out the original ESC, I took out the GPS and the big Flight controller. Added a basic 6 channel Spektrum receiver and a 40 amp ESC. Now you can use 4S 2200 battery with the same motor. It will hover and do a lot more. The Beginner modes were great when I first got it to re-learn to fly. Now it does knife edge all the way down the field.

Wow that’s awesome! I might have to try that

I appreciate you takin the time to show the low n slow characteristics of this plane 🤙 Super fun video

[@mdoutdoors.8481]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm in love with this plane. I love the yellow/gray color!😍 I have built maybe 50 planes in 10 years and no Pipercub or Supercub in my list🤔

[@mdoutdoors.8481]

This was my first plane besides sims and buddy boxing. Eflite makes this plane, Its such a calm flyer

[@mekateknik3717]

@@mdoutdoors.8481 if you allow me to do just a little criticism. I think that these planes are much too expensive since the Covid pandemic... I take as an example the F959 from WLToys the price was 45€ and currently it is 90€ + or -. I visited sites where the plane is sold and I find this plane very interesting if its options work normally. Does the "Auto Land" "Safe Plus" and "Virtual Fence" function work well?

Nice flying. Thanks for the show.

Thanks for the video. I was considering this plane but another person reviewing it said they couldn’t get it to loop. Happy to see you can have some advanced acrobatics with it. Guess I’ll “treat” myself this Halloween for the sale going on and pick one up.

[@mdoutdoors.8481]

Heck yea! I love this plane

Great video looks like you have a nice RC park kinda nice when you have the place to yourself.

[@mdoutdoors.8481]

Thanks. Yes it’s pretty nice place it was a pretty day too.

[@officiallyraan767]

Awesome video ☺️

[@c-dawg2145]

Just got one with some floats. Last time I flew I was 8 and I lost the plane in the woods, hopefully it'll turn out better this time. Great video!

[@mdoutdoors.8481]

Thanks! Hopefully it will!

[@craigschray4486]

I learned real quick that the Carbon Cub S2 is not a stunt plane. Not saying you can't do an occasional loop or roll, but I crashed mine one evening. I was doing quite a bit of aerobatics and it nose spiraled to the ground. I switched it to safe seconds before impact and I think it saved it from a complete loss. When I got to the plane, one of the wing struts was jammed in the aileron servo linkage. Crazy

[@mdoutdoors.8481]

Yes, I agree I rarely do aerobatics I usually stop fly.

[@mdoutdoors.8481]

Stol fly

[@BrGoBu]

Sure looks like a very capable stunt plane to me after watching this video!!??

It's nice to see young people on KZbin and not just the old men 😉 👍👍👍

[@mdoutdoors.8481]

Hey we all fly at our own paces!

[@greeneking77]

So I bought this plane and real flight in the sale they had a couple weeks ago. I have only started the game so far. What do you mean when you say high rates and low rates?

[@mdoutdoors.8481]

I'm talking about on high rates the ailerons, elevator, and rudder have more travel up and down left and right and on low rates they don't move as much. Low rates is better for beginners though

[@rctrucks2094]

I'm getting a Mamba 60e next I heard they're capable of insane things

[@mdoutdoors.8481]

Awesome! I have a timber x

[@rctrucks2094]

@@mdoutdoors.8481 Heard timber x stall lots and they suck but what do you think

[@mdoutdoors.8481]

@@rctrucks2094 i like it. It’s definitely interesting with the short wings but it also has a long wing chord. If you have the flap elevator mix correct then it’s not too bad at stalling but it definitely will bite you if your not careful. Your Probobly better off getting the mamba if your wanting to do aerobatics, I love biplanes for stunts. Only reason I got the timber is cause I like stol too

[@rctrucks2094]

@@mdoutdoors.8481 I'm learning 3d so that's why but my carbon cub is definitely really low stall point which is great

[@smythablity9328]

Do the flaps come with the plane or sold separately? If so can you send me the link

[@mdoutdoors.8481]

You have to supply your own servo. I used a 9 gram servo

[@smythablity9328]

What do I have to use?

[@leonelarribanca4583]

Check it here Smythablity: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIOadH6bi51-mJY

[@BrGoBu]

Sure wish someone on KZbin would do a detailed video on how the GPS, Airfield Geo Fence and landing assist (all of which are optional purchased) work! Absolutely no one addresses this. Everyone says the plane doesn't need it or is too complicated to figure out. Well c'mon people some of us coming from drones with simple to use RTH functions REALLY could use this feature for assurance.

[@mdoutdoors.8481]

I don't have the gps function or i would've showed it. I'm a drone pilot myself too.

[@BrGoBu]

@@mdoutdoors.8481 Precisely my point. Nobody bothers with the GPS option on this bird. Wanna get your newbie friends into the hobby? Get the GPS, RTH, auto land assist dialed in and I'm sure more of your friends might be intrigued to try this? Just saying....

[@simmerpilot5362]

Very cool! I ordered mine a couple of days ago and i really want the flaps but Horizon Hobby say that it won’t work with the included DXS transmitter. How did you manage to do it?

[@mdoutdoors.8481]

I just added the servo and then put the flaps servo on ch 8 or 7 on the reciever. But there is no elevator/flap mix

[@simmerpilot5362]

@@mdoutdoors.8481 Hello, I bought the servo and installed it but it doesn’t seem to work. I tried channels 7 and 8 and none are moving the flaps. Any thoughts?

[@mdoutdoors.8481]

Make sure you try all the switches on your radio

[@rcaviationcrawling7351]

Exellent video. Keep posting, I subbed and liked. Are you using a bunch of down elevator on the sticks with flaps? I'm getting the RTF with DXS and I understand it balloons a lot with flaps needing lots of down elevator on the stick.

[@mdoutdoors.8481]

Yes I just use down elevator. It’s not that bad you get use to it and its pretty fun to
