Hangar 9 Back to Balsa - Flying the NEW CubCrafters XCub 60cc!

Please click "...more / Show more" for links and more information. Visit www.horizonhobby.com/product/HAN5260B.html for more information on the CubCrafters XCub 60cc. The popular Hangar 9 CubCrafters XCub 60cc gets a fresh new look with the blue scheme and included upgrade scale landing gear! Join Horizon Hobby Air Team Pilot Ethan Ater as he takes the XCub 60cc for a flight on a nice sunny day. The new scheme stands out incredibly both on the ground and in the air, and is sure to gain some attention at the field! The Hangar 9® XCub 60cc ARF is an officially licensed replica of the CubCrafters marvel. Working closely with the company, factory drawings of the full-scale aircraft were used to design the model. And, like the full-scale original, our giant-scale XCub model was developed by scrutinizing every element of the platform to make the tried-and-true design better at meeting the needs of the modeler. The result is a best-of-the-best contender for the RC pilot seeking a giant-scale airplane that can do it all. And even though it’s large in size, modern conveniences and performance factors make it easy to complete, easy to handle and easy to fly with rock-solid control. Laser-cut wood construction results in a rugged airframe designed to make onlookers second guess it from the real thing. Genuine UltraCote® covering provides an exterior finish that replicates the CubCrafters original in its debut trim scheme and colors. Its outline is authentic with scale and other details that are practical and realistic, including sprung gear with aluminum wheels and tundra tires, a rugged tail wheel assembly, airfoil-shaped wing struts and operational LED lighting just to name a few. Stay tuned for the upcoming build videos that are part of the Back to Balsa Series!

"Back to Balsa" is what we all want to hear, and have been waiting on!!! Balsa .40/.60 scale birds is what we want and need. This hobby needs balsa again. Not just an occasional 40 size sport plane either. Scale Birds!!!

[@TheMrskydog]

Yes, more balsa, and also, more cowbell!!

[@mrk8212]

Nice plane, surprisingly aerobatic. Good flying demo too

[@StevesRC]

Nice work Ethan! Love the new scheme ;)

[@Hangar9RC]

Thank you for the kind words, Steve! The blue shows up GREAT in the air!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Nice flying Ethan! I love that new scheme. Bigger flies better and boy does this one show that!

[@EthanAter]

Thanks man! It’s a lot of fun!

With my brushless setup, it hangs on the prop. Unfortunately, I had to sell it because I didn't have much room in my hanger. I had to get the 15cc version of the Carbon Cub. I can't live without a Cub in my hanger.

[@scotabot7826]

We need another 1/4 scale super scale J-3.

[@smokeysrc]

Wow that's an amazing plane it just floats through the air I love it 💯🤘

[@Hangar9RC]

It’s definitely a nice cruiser! Thanks for the comment!

[@scottdearmond5532]

Ethan, beautiful airplane and expertly flown, the little DLE 55 flies the plane well, of course the twin 60 would be impressive. 😊

[@mariusmarais8329]

Awesome plane......👌

[@robieosborne7369]

What's the size and weight of the included wheels?

[@balsamidis]

hi.what prop is on?

[@Hangar9RC]

It is a Falcon 23x8 Carbon Gas Prop.

[@larryblanks6765]

Balsa flies better, it's about time balsa is back that's all I fly! Can't stand foam, too expensive for a beer cooler.

Basically? You have this much $ money. Time. flying field. Trailer. Radio. Your concern is NOT how to set up an airplane! Click for more." Is nonsense.
