I like that you guys built as a couple and include inclusive words for the project. As for the Cub, I have one and I don’t think I’ve ever had it at full throttle. I’ve crashed three of them though. Tip stalls are predictable and elevator deflection and velocity relation are key to not have AoA stalls. I put Fowler hinges on my Cub because I didn’t like how the strip ailerons didn’t give me slow flight character. I think you guys should build a full build now. Monokote covering is a skill to be conquered.

[@UngluedModeler]

Thanks! Yeah it’s a great plane we love it. We would love to do a full build (kit) one day. We just don’t have time unfortunately 😪. We are both medical helicopter pilots for work and that career path literally takes up so much time lol. Heck, we can’t even find time to finish our XCub ARF video series we have going lol. Unfortunately full scale helicopters and life comes first before RC aircraft 😂

[@terrencejackson4587]

Nice. We flew hawks years ago. An old buddy is flying EMS in Connecticut and my best friend is Schwartz who has the whole region of air med in Az. I have a house in the valley and grew up in Tucson.

[@UngluedModeler]

Awesome!! Yeah we fly EMS in the Las Vegas, Phoenix and Flagstaff area.

[@ArcticRc]

Great video ans great entertainment. 😊

[@drrosemountain8328]

Congratulations!! Enjoying every Video

[@UngluedModeler]

Thanks!! Glad you enjoy them 🙏

[@arizonarc6624]

Congrats on a trouble-free maiden! Looks like that little tailwheel worked out fine. Hard to beat a good flying day at the lake.

[@UngluedModeler]

Thanks yeah it went great for sure. And yeah the dry lake is sooo fun especially on a nice day like we had. Only thing I would like to change on the plane is go down to a 4000 mah battery for better CG or play with some more weights and get that 5000 better balanced.

[@arizonarc6624]

@@UngluedModeler I think I'd try moving the battery rather than going smaller, electrics don't have long flight times as it is. It seems to fly really well, maybe just fly it as is for a bit and get a feel for it and what you want it to do. A little nose heavy might tame the stalls a bit also. Maybe bring a charger to get more flights in? If you do a simple charge (not a balance charge) they charge a lot faster so two batteries can keep you going. Now if only this wind would give us a break... Glad you guys got up there when you did, looks like you hit the only good window we've had lately.

[@UngluedModeler]

Yeah good idea I’ll try that. The Carbon Cub battery tray design doesn’t give you much room to shift the battery around. Because the battery mounts under the console allll the way up to the front you have to mount the battery to the tray like a sled and then slide it in there and it bolts down in a specific spot. But I might be able to figure a way to shift it a tad rearward. And THE WIND!!! Geez it’s crazy!! 50 knots today!

[@arizonarc6624]

@@UngluedModeler I'm sure you'll figure something out. And it doesn't need to be permanent if you're just experimenting with the position. No kidding about the wind, it's starting to get on my nerves! I should look into getting a big box kite. Then I could fly near the house, and give the Tundra a break, it's looking a bit hammered these days.

[@Daniel_SWE]

Couple of years behind you but I finaly got to maiden my Carbon Cub with a RCGF Stinger 20CC Twin gas engine in the front. Thank you for the help both of you have given me through the videos!

[@UngluedModeler]

Congrats that’s awesome!!! I bet that plane flies great with that 20cc!! Glad our videos helped it’s such a nice flying plane. We’re still trying to finish our gas XCub though🤦‍♂️

[@Daniel_SWE]

@@UngluedModeler I'm sure I'm not the only one waiting for more news about that project but all that matters are that both of you are hopefully doing alright and in good health.

[@UngluedModeler]

Thanks! Yeah we’re both in good health thankfully just work is insane with OT right now. We don’t really talk about it much but we’re both Medical helicopter pilots. Such a demand for workover right now. So unfortunately RC aircraft take a back seat to full scale helicopters lol

[@enriquech4041]

What a journey getting to the maiden. Very nice couple enjoying rc planes. Regards

[@judyraymond693]

WOW! WOW! How exciting...I loved it but I was nervous for you too. 😓 Your tidbits of helpful information while flying are super great so we know what we can expect. What a journey this has been but very encouraging. Beautiful area for your maiden voyage. Your last landing was perfect 👌🏻! Congratulations 🎉 On to another venture! Thank you.

[@UngluedModeler]

Thanks haha. Yeah maiden flights are stressful LOL.

[@hb9hal]

Congratulations! I was verry excited to see your maiden flight and almost could`t wait to see your video. I also put this model on my wishlist. Thank you both for all of your helpful and most charming informations. I realy enjoied it!

[@UngluedModeler]

Thanks for the kind words!! We had fun building it and we’ll be flying it alit more! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Daniel_SWE]

Congratulations! Nice flying. 😀

[@UngluedModeler]

Thanks man!! Fun stuff!!

[@stevenchase1]

"first Balsa plane we've built? " IT'S an ARF! it was already built!

[@UngluedModeler]

Haha I see what you’re saying BUT….it wasn’t even close to flying lol. We still had to assemble it. How’s that? Better? 😂 thanks for watching!

[@craigschray4486]

Thank you for these videos! This will be one of my next planes.

[@UngluedModeler]

You’re very welcome glad you enjoy them! It’s a great plane for sure we really like it! Good luck!

[@tdmaker85]

Nice job

[@edwardcase]

Every cub I've flown (save the clipped wing version) needs turns to come from the rudder and not the ailerons. Coordinate both. More rudder movement than aileron

[@UngluedModeler]

Yes you are correct. Cubs like rudder for sure!

[@uesbh]

AWESOME maiden!! I have both of the Eflite Carbon Z Cubs and love them. Started building my 15cc Cub with DLE20 power and can’t wait to get it in the air!!

[@UngluedModeler]

Thank you so much!!! It’s an awesome plane you’re gonna love it!!! Good luck with your build we’re excited for you!!

[@icin4d]

This is a really nice flyer. And very responsive on the controls. I've got the FG-21 in mine and it flys better than scale, and after 15 minutes, I'm down to just under half of the tank.

[@UngluedModeler]

Yeah really like this plane a lot. I have to dial down my elevator rates a little still but other than that it’s so awesome.

[@Daniel-qy9ss]

such a beautiful plane.

[@UngluedModeler]

Thanks! Ot really is beautiful especially out in the desert!

[@katpis9121]

AWESOME MAN!!! Congrats on the successful maiden!!

[@UngluedModeler]

Thanks man!! It’s a great plane for sure!

[@wildgoobsid5]

Being an old timer RCer, you didn’t “build” this plane, you assembled it. Get a SIG kit and build it. You’ll see the difference..

[@UngluedModeler]

Haha I realize that. Sorry I used the wrong word. Assembled it. Better? Haha. Jokes aside thanks for watching

[@letusjsutgaming9521]

Very nice

[@itzjoeylo4501]

At least you don’t have any trees, electricity ⚡️ poles, fences, houses and such lol 😂 Great 👍 Aircraft and Flights Pilot, you greased that last landing.

[@UngluedModeler]

Thanks!! Yeah those trees and wires always seem to pop out of nowhere lol.

[@cornfield4489]

The battery setup is an absolute PIA. I do believe I'll rip out the Power 60 and go to fuel

[@UngluedModeler]

Yes it’s absolutely horrible I agree. It’s so bad I’m trying to come up with a new way to hold the battery or just convert to gas.

[@kevosrcadventures9019]

Congratulations nice flight I have the trainer could you put a safe esc in there and have the safe technology too just like the carbon Cub S2

[@UngluedModeler]

Yeah you absolutely could. But if you know how to fly this plane doesn’t need SAFE. And SAFE is a bad habit to get used to anyway!! LOL 😂 JK. It’s good for new rc pilots but it becomes a crutch even once you know how to fly. Some people never stop using it. Anyway, rant over LOL. Yea you can put SAFE in any plane!! Good luck!

[@Randy_Cox]

Glad ya got it done and had a good maiden. Such a shame it doesn't have a real engine.

[@UngluedModeler]

Thanks! I’m just into electric stuff these days haha. Either choice is good. The gas engines are cool for sure.

[@webSailing]

Listen guys.!! Your video work presentation is just wonderful. Congratulations your are the best I ever seen in KZbin. I just subscribed. Please keep going you all both will become a big stars. I will stay tune. Bye.

[@UngluedModeler]

Thanks man!! That means a lot to us it really does. We love flying haha

[@1Sail2]

I agree and me too!

[@katpis9121]

Time for a 74” 3D monster haha

[@UngluedModeler]

Haha 😂

[@williewonka1970]

I love my Carbon Cub always turns heads at the club. I changed my spinner type after burning out my motor, not enough air flow for cooling motor. Went with vented spinner now motor stays much cooler now. Also opened up cowl for more air and cut vent holes in rear bottom of fuse also and battery stays much cooler now also.

[@UngluedModeler]

Wow that’s crazy you burned up a motor!! I’ll keep an eye on ours great tips about the cooling thanks!!!

[@englecam]

Good job ! I really love yours videos. Perfect 💑

[@UngluedModeler]

Thank you very much!!

[@uesbh]

I find that the larger acft are easier to fly, I’d be interested in your take on that.

[@UngluedModeler]

Yes I agree 100%. The bigger aircraft are more intimidating but they are definitely easier to fly. They are more stable as they have weight on their side and the wind doesn’t bump them around as much either. Everything happens a little slower and more realistically. When I fly my Micro Tundra and other small micro fliers they are extremely twitchy, the smallest wind gusts will knock them around and you need lightning fast reflexes as things happen SO FAST.

[@shlomibarzilay8118]

Wow very nice the only difference I will use In the DLE 20cc petrol engine

[@UngluedModeler]

Thanks!! The DLE is a nice engine!! That’s gonna be really nice plane

[@Reptielenfreak]

What a beauty! Im going to use all your videos as my Guide for the build. So did you use the power hd 20kg servos on all serveces. I have a spare eflite 400KV motor from the eflite draco. Do you think this will be enough?

[@AeromodellingTanjungbalai]

👍👍👍

[@loeschc49707]

Where did you get the black screws?

[@UngluedModeler]

Hey Chris thanks for the question! After endless searching I finally found them at a specialty fastener store in Las Vegas called McFaddenDales. They were actually stainless screws and I ended up scuffing, spray painting and matte clear coating them! I can’t remember the size off top of my head but when I get home from work later I’ll check for you! Those little screws are hard to find at “normal” hardware stores 😂

[@loeschc49707]

@@UngluedModeler Ok I have the same screws in stainless #2 button head.... was just hoping to get them in black. Looks real good.

[@UngluedModeler]

Thanks! I found those #2 button head “kits” already in black oxide but the kits are huge and I don’t need 300 random tiny screws lol 😂

[@georgevprochazka5316]

Nice ! Would the power be good enough for floats flying ?

[@UngluedModeler]

Yes absolutely. Plenty of power. It’s a great plane and there are actually some great videos of it flying on floats including one from Ali M himself!! The man who designed the plane!!!!

[@Heli4213]

How does it fly in the wind?

[@UngluedModeler]

It does great! It’s a cub and it’s huge haha. Cubs handle the wind great and the bigger the plane is the better they do in the wind. The thing to watch out for with Cubs are the ground loops. Gotta stay on top of the rudder.

[@Heli4213]

Thank You

[@WayneCook306]

A little trim would have been good..

[@UngluedModeler]

Yup 👍

[@Erik-H]

Congratulations on a successful maiden flight. I have now watched all of your videos and am thinking of buying the model too. I would be interested in whether you see the possibility of installing a tow coupling and a more powerful engine. I would be happy if you could write something about this. Regards from Germany

[@UngluedModeler]

Hi!! Thanks for watching in Germany! We’re honored haha. Yes I’m sure you could reinforce the top area up with some balsa layup and make a tow release by hooking up an extra servo up there. There’s is tons of room but I would reinforce that area up! I’m sure it can be done depending on how handy and creative you are. As far as a more powerful motor you could install the eflite Power 90 and run 8s battery power. The plane recommends the Power 60 with 6s (what I went with). You will run into a CG issue for sure though and again I would worry about a little extra reinforcement in the motor area. The plane was meant for 6s power or a gas engine equivalent. I know the DLE 20 is popular for this plane. Good luck!

[@Erik-H]

@@UngluedModeler Many thanks for your response. I'll see what can be built in there. If that doesn't work, I still have a fantastic plane 😃

[@UngluedModeler]

Yes you will! It’s a great plane for sure! There’s a reason that Horizon Hobby has kept it around for so long and sells tons of them! I’d buy another one in a heartbeat.

[@rinunculartoo3006]

Can you not zoom in on that camera? Good to see at least 10 percent of your test flight anyway. Thanks for sharing.

[@UngluedModeler]

Haha no. It’s a GoPro. We’re hoping to upgrade cameras soon! We really want to be able to zoom in. Thanks!!

[@janrc]

You need a camera with zoom!
