guillows super cub 95 rc test flights

[@mikecarbone828]

Awesome! Very nice build, and it flies beautifully too! I was surprised to see how durable it is. Very nice model, that has been built very well, and the fact that you can fly it for about 15 minutes, on the 500 mah 1S battery is super awesome. Happy flying! Thank you for posting these videos! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨✈️

hi george. this uses the motor gearbox prop and brick from a parkzone ultra micro p-51 mustang or j-3 cub. if you look in the video description there is a link to the build log on rc groups. have fun building with the girls! =D

[@jagdpanther9]

yes ,i used a regular sized iron. the tail surfaces warped like potato chips but you give a little twist as heat is applied and they straighten out.

[@edge13429]

Thank you and I enjoy your flights! Hope to see more videos of Guillow's planes.

[@DerrickWindsor]

Did you know that "Glad" kitchen film works great for indoor models? - no need for glue or dope, mild heat will keep it taut - cheap as chips and can take a misting of paint for decoration. Solve that "last hop before stopping phenom" by taking power off really smoothly but keeping at least 20% on till the plane is at your feet! Nice plane and thanks for sharing!

[@NewJerseyJay]

Wow great job Monocoting the plane!. Usually turns out looking like *hit with all the spars. Great Job! A lot of time went into that little plane.

[@Samuel_Curly_DuBois]

After building 2 epo foam models, I have to say that balsa wood (if patient enough) or even Carbon fiber are the better material... I had a Fokker dr1 out of foam and it is (was) very fragile on the top wing... Now it is more or so an albatross... wonderful flying sir...

[@jagdpanther9]

Thank You. this has been a very tough air frame.

[@kevinbrooks6265]

any plane that size ,wood or foam will be tough because there is very little inertia due to very light weight.

[@Justwantahover]

Which makes big planes too susceptible to damage. Answer is to have a smaller plane and way cheaper too.

[@jagdpanther9]

it is all parkzone ultra micro.the esc "brick" is from the um j-3 cub and the motor gearbox and prop is from the parkzone um p-51. the big 500mah battery is the best so far for performance and ballance.flight times exced 15 min! :) good luck with your build topflite parklite is a much better covering to use than monocote.

[@bojohn771]

newbe here, awesome job! just finished a p40 warhak build and it complete sucked...it was my first one and i used the guts from a champ begginer airplane, barely took off if any at all....in any case...thanks for the video..made me want to keep trying.

[@jagdpanther9]

great to hear your building .just don't give up.build them light and gut the aft fuselage and tail. you will get it !

[@jagdpanther9]

jagdpanther9 2 hours ago it is all parkzone ultra micro.the esc "brick" is from the um j-3 cub and the motor gearbox and prop is from the parkzone um p-51. the big 500mah battery is the best so far for performance and ballance.flight times exced 15 min! :) good luck with your build topflite parklite is a much better covering to use than monocote there, i believe i replyed to this question in the right spot.;/

[@davidlewis620]

That was a nice flight ! I much prefer LOS because I am not an FPV flyer . Watching landscape going by on a screen bores me.Yes, at one time all I knew was Balsa and it was pretty sturdy.

[@givemetoast]

Very nice build and flight!

[@jagdpanther9]

Thank You!! thinking about making skis for the snow :)

[@HyperJoe]

Spectacular! Loved watching that Little Bird fly..Very nice Build, looks almost real, nice details..Good Job, keep up the Great Work, and thanks for sharing.. :D

[@jagdpanther9]

hey joe! thanks! this model is still around and flying. i never get tired of flying it and amazingly it will handle a fair amount of wind! =D

[@JustProps]

Looking good …….. again!

[@genekloszewski5484]

thats a hot one !, ,.. lotta wind, ,but you did okay!, ,. i like the way , you planted it , on the landing!, ha!,, ha!,..

[@jagdpanther9]

that model is still flying after years ! it was the first of the rc conversions for me. Thanks! =D

[@genekloszewski5484]

after, 40 +, yrs.,, r/c,,.. mostly boats, of all kinds, ,.. i'm building dumas, , dehaviland, bi-plane, dh- 4, a beautiful kit, , not for the squeamish,, but i'm enjoying the build, ( after de-ciphering, the instructions !), have radio, need info, on motor, speed control!,, ...

[@IbnAir23]

Is the monocote applied the same way you would apply it to a larger plane with a heat iron??

[@carboncubss]

Very impressive, what covering did you use?

[@crossthreadaeroindustries8554]

Nice flyer and looks good, too.

[@jagdpanther9]

+CrossThread Aero Industries hi, thanks. it's funny that after over 3 years of flying this model is still flying with no damage. it is always fun when somebody @ the local field asks "who makes that one?" I have really pulled some legs with odd answers like "Kyosho made them a few years back" or "its one of a new line from Testors. yea, there getting back into making flying models". =D

[@chrisfettig]

nice! can you tell me what size motor, esc, and prop you used with this build? i just pick up a super cub 95 today!

[@cobyfan7392]

What did you cover it with? I'd love to see a build/tips and trick video for RC conversions.

[@jagdpanther9]

+Coby Fan hi, i used monokote iron on covering on this model but i have been using h9 parklite on most of my other builds.Thanks for your interest, a build video is in the future =D

[@drewlawrence8259]

what control rods?

[@Cowboy4737]

Good looking airplane!!!

[@jagdpanther9]

Thanks! I'm still flying it,it's still around :)

[@oliverw782]

Wish I could do as good of a covering job as you did.

[@oliverw782]

And also you should get guillows Cessna 170

[@jagdpanther9]

hi, you would be suprised how easy it is to cover and use parklite covering. this model is covered with monokote and it is easy to work with but the parklite is great. the biggest wrinkles will go away with heat. i do have the cessna 170 kit and will be building it @ some point. Thanks for your comment. =D

[@oliverw782]

jagdpanther9 No problem sorry for the late reply.:) I am going to start working on my 25 inch Focke wolf and the Cessna will be my new front yard flyer in a month or two.

[@oliverw782]

Never mind. I set that Cessna aside awhile ago and I am building a Great Planes RV-4.

[@lukegregerson2900]

Hi I am building this plane right now and I am not very good with the electronics part of building and was wondering if you would be willing to send me an electronics list with the motor and esc used?

[@jagdpanther9]

hi, if you look in the video description there is a link to the build log @ the rc groups and all of the info should be there for you but it is the running gear from a park zone ultra micro p-51 =D

[@coldwill7]

Impressive!

[@edge13429]

Did you use Monokote for covering?

[@jagdpanther9]

yes,this one was covered with white monokote. on most of my other builds I have used hangar9 parklite with great results.

[@edge13429]

Thank you

[@jagdpanther9]

this is just monocote.i figure i could have saved 1/4 oz with parklite.

[@carboncubss]

Very nice job. Is this Guillows kit 602?

[@jagdpanther9]

+carboncubss hi, yes this kit 602. it is still flying =D.

[@rileyjames3312]

+jagdpanther9 I have a cox 049 will any of the kits work to convert to Rc with it?

[@Pointtostones]

I have to admit that I was a bit surprised the first time I hard landed a Guillows rc conversion. They are not as fragile as I suspected. May I ask what you are using to cover? I've been using the tissue but I like what you're doing.

[@jagdpanther9]

hi, on this model i used scraps of plain old monokote iron on covering but on almost all of my other models i use Hangar9 parklite. i like to use the covering to add wash out to the wings if needed just by heating one side more than the other.it really lets me tune the wings just where i want them more or less trimming the model.

[@Pointtostones]

jagdpanther9 hey, thank you for replying. I'll have to try this and go this route. The balsa is tough but the tissue rips too easy. I have fun building these and even more satisfied, watching them fly. Your builds are amazing.

[@yasinlaura]

What size motor esc and lipo pls?

[@jagdpanther9]

Yasin Ganioglu this model uses the parkzone ultra micro parts.the esc and servos or "brick" is from the um j-3 cub and the motor gearbox and prop is from the parkzone um p-51. the big 500mah battery is the best so far for performance and balance flight times exced 15 min. you can also use the 150mah battery that comes with the p-51,j-3 cub, and many other ultra micros but you may need a little nose weight.

[@wesleywindmiller9487]

Is this a balsa model?

[@oliverw782]

Wesley Windmiller Yeeeeep.

[@TheRumbles13]

Happy to see this flies as im building a 2s one

[@jagdpanther9]

2s will make this model scoot. make sure to gutt the aft fuse and tail. keep it lite. =D

@@jagdpanther9 PS I have the exact same ultimate 2. Love that thing, 300+ flights on it!

[@Justwantahover]

It's not a Cub even if the model is called that. It's a Piper Pacer. The Pacer has two seats side to side and the cub has two seats tandem. You can tell it's a Pacer by the wide fuselage.

[@logansportpilotrp8174]

AHH yeah foam is the bomb,i have crashed my home built foamies into the ground at 30 mph and no damage,NO balsa could ever do that.But balsa are cool, i"ll give them that.

[@jagdpanther9]

yes you are right and i agree foam is tougher than balsa but these builds are surprisingly solid. this little cub has cartwheeled in the grass many times since this video was made and is still flying @ this time.

[@logansportpilotrp8174]

Cool .

[@jamesbonde4470]

Geelows??? No-o-o-o. It's gwillows.

[@jagdpanther9]

yes of course but it comes from 40 years ago in the hobby store when no one knew better . it is like the grand for the m1 garand. =D
