LIVE Q&A - Hangar 9 CubCrafters XCub 60cc ARF

[@goldendredger]

Just went on PR Bush web site to check out the wheels and parts for this cub and Robert passed away on November 8th. Wow. Not good. Best wishes to his family and all that know and worked with him. Real bummer. Not sure if they are going to continue with the business or not it says on the site. They say they will fill current orders but don't know after that. Hope they can keep on with it. I am sure he would not want it to stop.

[@dexterdean]

Seen one at the airfield today.. 😉😉 Going to order one tommrow. hanger 9 no doubt about it you guy's have done it again you pay for what you get and the quality of this plane is awesome.

[@rickmatteson3962]

Ali, Since the passing of Robert at PR Bushwheels, how does this effect getting a pair of HD struts as shown on the model you have in the video. I have emailed Taylor, but not received a answer as of yet. Waiting for next shipment to come in, as well as the articulating gear. Any info would be great. Rick to come in

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

Can Ali be involved with developing a 1/5th scale Spitfire? And not have to have the engine or exhaust hanging out of the cowl?

[@noahschechtel8979]

what servos are recommended ? thannks for the video

[@Bengraziano]

Would it be possible to fly this on floats and electric power? I’m assuming this is close to 1/4 scale. Any recommended floats?

[@noahschechtel8979]

what size pilot is used... I read that it is a 22" pilot... that seems large

[@michaelgrossman5528]

Im glad to see a new h9 plane but where are some planes to compete with extramflights everything?

[@scubaozy]

Few things to the design: Tail section must be removable, at least elevator surfaces so that you don’t have to have a trailer or van/truck to carry this around. This point kills it for most of Europeans. Pitts muffler or similar are not usable in Europe. Please design cowl/fuselage so that we can accommodate a real muffler/canister or design a multi chamber muffler/canister that will fit. I really like the plane but above points make it impossible for me to buy one of these.

[@lucianovan]

It is a good idea remove the plastic covering, and paint it of the same colors?

[@BOKI797]

That's really a Nice Plane & a Great Video review ! Thanks for the Video !

[@Hangar9RC]

Thanks for your feedback!

[@iqbaldotme]

Hi, does the landing gear shown in video (articulated landing gear) same exactly like in super cub 1/4 scale?

[@sideshowbob5237]

A credit to the UK - and his parents - who are still to be seen at retro flyins around UK.

[@galovillagomez6242]

I like the saito 60cc 3 cylinder engine , how do you think it would match to this cub?

[@Bellairvideo]

What a lovely, well thought out plane. Wouldn’t this be great as a Eflite Timber/ Maule size as I would be scared witless to fly this!

[@robieosborne7369]

Any new large scale aircraft in the works???

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

Yes (but delayed due to COVID!) ;)

[@MichaelRossFLHTK]

What motor do you reccomend since the 62GX is discontinued??

[@tulz43]

This is fantastic! Really impressive features. Sure it’s another cub... but no one has put this much thought into one. Are you all going to do floats? Really hope so!

[@Hangar9RC]

There is not hard-points for an optional float set on this one. With some work, it could take the 1/4 scale floats.

[@porroco]

Cant see a manual on webpage, need to know how hard will be to build one of those things. Will i need to use epoxy and need to trim stuff on the build?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

The manual hasn't been release yet. As soon as we have the PDF it will be uploaded to the website. Thanks!

[@777Kees]

Does anyone know if a Saito FG 61 with electric starter motor can be installed?

[@mypanicbutton9194]

Why does Horizon work so hard to hide basic information like wingspan and fuselage length?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

Not sure what you mean since the wingspan and overall length are typically found quite easily in the "Product Specifications" section near the bottom of the product page on our web site (you may need to click "View More" to expand that section to see all of the listed specifications depending on the device and browser you are using), as seen on the updated version XCub 60cc page here: www.horizonhobby.com/product/cubcrafters-xcub-60cc-arf/HAN5260B.html# And also on one of the first few pages of the instruction manual for most of our models: www.horizonhobby.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-horizon-master/default/dwac73a40d/Manuals/HAN5260-Manual-MULTI.pdf

[@mypanicbutton9194]

@@HorizonHobbyProducts Since these specs are what most of us first want to know, why not put them at the top of the product page, way more important than knowing some of the product blurb you normally include.

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

@@mypanicbutton9194 Placement on the page was determined after reviewing "hot spots" for page views based on actual user data acquired over many years. It appears most people are actually more interested in the product details/info before the specs hence why the page is laid out accordingly :) And now that you know where to look it should hopefully only take you a few seconds to find the specs if that's what you're interested in most!

[@MinzzZzzE]

What kind of Bush Wheel did u use?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

They were from a company in Alaska called PR Bushwheels. unfortunately, the owner passed away a few years back and supply dried up. There is an alternative ( Slightly better in my opinion ) option available from Europe. A company called PMT Premier Model Technik in Germany, they make two sizes of bush wheel. The smaller works well on the XCub. A model shop down in Florida called RC Revolution has just started bringing these wheels into the US. He would be advised to give them a call and they can sell you a set that they have coming.

[@MinzzZzzE]

@@HorizonHobbyProducts thank you sooo much for your answer!

[@TheMrskydog]

Will it fly good inverted?

[@laseonestar]

Ohhh yeahhh the xcup.. when do you send me one ;-) thx for making awesome and great planes and stuff... cupcrafters thank you for sharing this one

[@scottfirman]

Horizon is expanding into the large scale, no surprise as they now own Tower Hobbies. I hope they can keep planes in stock and keep Hobbico going. This is a big beautiful model and would make anyone at your local hobby club drool. way more money than my bank account can affort but beautiful.

정말멎쥐고설게댄 비행기이고

[@jonjonsson1647]

Wow.... Amazing plane😍

[@rcsuperpuma]

Gratulation, a very nice Airplane. I think this Airplane i will buy.

[@TylerBruber]

will it come with floats?

[@Hangar9RC]

There is not hard-points for an optional float set on this one. With some work, it could take the 1/4 scale floats.

[@TylerBruber]

who would able to do that for me?

[@monicabru7823]

EXCELENT

[@shckltnebay]

Price RTF?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

Eric, it all depends on what completion items you supply. We don't sell this as a true Ready-to-Fly plane.

[@chrishavener2566]

So price range

[@safa_abdul_rehman]

Ali is the gr8 pilot

[@WayneCook306]

O'l mate doing the talking is a bit of an I Am man i do not think it was just him involved, He should metion that instead of big noting him self.

[@TylerBruber]

it would make a great airplane!

[@michaelgrossman5528]

We miss michael mconville

[@latvianrcchannellatvia8092]

that is a great looking plane. but who is that guy that stands with his hands in the pocket / scrolling his phone and looks if he is not interested. Ali can better do this alone he is realy excited about this new product.

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

These are Live Q&A sessions. One of the hosts always monitors questions during the broadcast via a phone or laptop ;).

[@latvianrcchannellatvia8092]

Even so I will buy one as soon they come out here in the EU, can not wait to fly one.

[@leemoore9933]

Just tosses the pilot around, lol.

[@ThePistolpistol100]
