E-Flite Carbon Z Cub SS Float Flying w/ E-Flite Power 60 470kv / Spektrum Avian 100a Upgrades

My float set finally came in! After several mishaps, I'm able to fly the big Cub off water. The Power 60 470kv upgrade is seriously worth it - if you have a Cub, consider upgrading it. You won't regret it!

Try a inverted flat turn lol. Awesome flying as always Jon!!

[@TwoBrosRC]

Ooooooooooooo. That's a really good idea. ❤️

[@mybobize]

That flat spin had me so scared it was going to have an unscheduled landing in the water, I would have been too scared to go that low. Amazing flying and great camera work!

[@3DMOFO2020]

4:36 Very nicely done! Another awesome job on both flights Jon!

[@jerryhermann7233]

Outstanding flights! I want one!

[@rcaviationcrawling7351]

Good job, perfect landing! Also good that you powered through all the problems, and got a great flight and video for your efforts, cool.

[@TwoBrosRC]

The Power 60 is so crazy strong that there's basically nothing you can't power out of.

[@rcaviationcrawling7351]

@@TwoBrosRC I was referring to the problems with the plane and stuff before you were finally able to fly. 😀

[@TwoBrosRC]

Ahhhhhhh yeah, that makes more sense!

[@youngfamilyfarms]

Impressive flying an impressive plane! You have gotten much better and were giving it to her good!

[@stevenungester927]

Great flying... Beautifully done

[@Leemaw]

TY for sharing this video.....terrific site and great flying as always......I feel like I was there..... NO ONE fills the viewfinder like you do....keep on keepin on

[@TwoBrosRC]

Thanks Lee! I technically don't fill the screen - I just shoot in 4k and crop the view to 1080p so it's as big as it can get. It's better when Scott is filming though, he's got a real knack for keeping the models in focus.

[@FromAboveAndBeyondChannel]

Cool alot of power in this plane, good flying. 😁

[@skyforce1983]

Man you got skills!!! Great power setup

[@TwoBrosRC]

Thanks so much! I'll be posting more CZCub content in the near future if you enjoy this sort of thing. There's a recent upload of it in my video history too if you want to see what it looks like with proper zoom.

[@Joel_Alpiger]

Thanks man :-) I have these upgrades. i will try it soon :-D

[@Joel_Alpiger]

Flys great 😀

[@old-rcplane-phart]

Ppl have no idea how difficult a flat turn is. Til they do it. Normal brains dont work THAT way! Took me a while to get it right!

[@old-rcplane-phart]

Jon, how can I do a complete reset on the AR630 rx? It wont give me the forward program menu on my NX10.

[@TwoBrosRC]

@@old-rcplane-phart Did you unlock the receiver yet by updating its firmware? You can't reset it until you do that. FP should give access to it even if it is locked though, perhaps try rebinding?

[@liamsrcadventures1032]

god video

[@manneydelancey5168]

Super cool man! I didn’t know you were in North Carolina! We may have to meet up and fly sometime im in Augusta Georgia right next to McCormick South Carolina

[@TwoBrosRC]

Yep, I've been in NC for the past two years!

[@manneydelancey5168]

@@TwoBrosRC awesome! Have you ever been down to Clark’s hill lake? That’s were I do almost all my flying

[@TwoBrosRC]

@@manneydelancey5168 Nah, I don't travel out of state when I can fly a mile from my home.

[@darrinmarley6252]

Do you like the 16x8 better than the 16x10. I was thinking about putting a vess 17x7 on mine. Waiting on motor to come in for my upgrade. Magnets come lose in my bl50. My local hobby shop owns vess,they have a good selection of props. I have had good results with them over the years. Great flying enjoy the channel.

[@TwoBrosRC]

The 16x8 works really well on the Power 60 470kv motor.

[@sean7193]

Does Horizon pay you? if not they should - I just bought the floats because of your video which you make look wicked fun. BTW, do you have any tips for flying with floats? I've never used them. thanks.

[@TwoBrosRC]

HH doesn't pay us, but we do affiliate with them. If you'd ever like to buy from Horizon, you can let us know and we'll generate a link you can use that kicks some cash at us at no cost to you. I did create a float flying tutorial for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXiop6V6nLuDsLM Hope this helps!

[@RXF1]

Great Flying! Any advice to keep the servo float tight? Mine is leaking after the first flight, not much, but i can hear it :-(

[@TwoBrosRC]

Try sealing it.

[@lukehcullen]

I'm using the links to the parts you provided in the description. What's this 8 channel you speak of at 12:46? And could you link the absolute best batteries for propper beast mode for this build, please. 🙏 Love it!

[@TwoBrosRC]

The 8360T receiver we're using can be found via bit.ly/3QBdgtc SMC batteries are what we'd recommend, 4400 LiHV to be specific: www.smc-racing.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=713

[@lukehcullen]

Thank you!!!

[@lawrencewilliams1477]

ONLY 80 90 MILES AN HOUR AMAZING

[@SEYOTwo]

EDF'S are super cool but so are prop planes, of all sorts. Fortunately we don't have to choose one over the other!

[@TwoBrosRC]

I enjoy having the ability to fly props or jets depending on how I feel. Float flying is unique, too, and totally worth getting into.

[@gr8motive]

Damn it, now i want to upgrade mine as well 😄 Need upgrade both motor and ESC, right?

[@TwoBrosRC]

Yep, you'll want a 100a ESC and Power 60 470kv motor. You'll need to adjust the motor plate a little to make it fit, but it's so worth it. If you want to support us, consider picking up the parts you'll need via the following links: Power 60 470kv: bit.ly/3weuows Avian 100a ESC: bit.ly/3PywkGY We also upgraded the servos on the model to Hitec units: Hitec HS-5245MG: bit.ly/3T0SlRW You'll need four of those if you want high precision, high torque servos that will outlast the model.

[@gr8motive]

@@TwoBrosRC would love to support you guys, but they dont ship to Norway.

[@gr8motive]

@@TwoBrosRC thank you btw.

[@ssavard4938]

Hello ! Is it the original attachment to the( engine, spinner and prop?

[@TwoBrosRC]

The motor mount is the same, the spinner is also identical. The motor is not stock though.

[@BocaChicaGuy]

Jon, do you prefer flying with AS3X on or off with your 8 channel receiver? Also what servo horns are you using? Thanks!

[@TwoBrosRC]

We prefer to have stabilization on - it helps the model track better. Servo horns are stock.

[@rogerhartzell544]

Trying to learn how to do a flat spin can’t seem to get it figured out. Any suggestions you could give me I go up vertically and I cut the power left rudder 6:51 and then down on the elevator and doesn’t seem to do much then bring the throttle up a little as well with the elevator and it kinda wants to do a flat spin but I just need someone to guide me on exactly how to do it with the controls. I’ve been watching videos but still cannot figure it out if somebody would just explain how they do it I would so kindly appreciate it. I do have a simulator. I’ve been trying it on ..and can’t seem to get it. I know Cubs are harder to flat spin.

man, i love everything about this plane so much! I have a carbon z cub, i would love to get everything you have on yours. what battery are you running in this video? and what charger do you use for it? if you could give me links to everything you have done to the plane, i would really appreciate it!

[@txkflier]

Reckon how much extra prop noise is being caused the prop tips passing close to the floats..

[@TwoBrosRC]

No idea, probably at least a little turbulent air.

[@rogerhartzell544]

I was going to order the 5300 HV batteries from FMC but it looks like they discontinued that battery and replaced it with 5900HV . Would that be OK to use that battery or would that be too much?

[@TwoBrosRC]

5900 would definitely be a solid choice, but for the kind of flying you're seeing here, you might want to consider 4400 HVs instead.

[@jeremyperry6241]

what prop size is that i need one?

nvm sorry

Jon do you have a pic of the 100amp installed?

[@TwoBrosRC]

Nah, it's just shoved in there - it only fits in one direction.

[@Mark-st1ni]

@@TwoBrosRC with or without the fan. I got my cub today and ordered the the same setup..Been following you on this cub...lol My buddy burnt his stock setup up!

[@TwoBrosRC]

The fan is too big to fit. The Avian just barely fits without it. I've heard the stock setup is prone to throwing bearings on the motor. If you ordered though the links in the description, thank you!

[@mathursharad007]

You could use a 17x7 prop on it for more power.

[@TwoBrosRC]

No reason to when 16x8 produces the thrust needed for what we're doing, but thanks for the suggestion!
