Multiplex FunCubs Fly SLOWER

[@Themilkman12345]

Most underrated RC plane channel on KZbin. I have a few suggestions of videos. How to be a master at stol. How to get more fun out of flying. I think once a week isn't enough. We need MORE. Great videos.👍

[@TailHeavyProductions]

Thank you so much!

[@Themilkman12345]

@@TailHeavyProductions You should do a compilation of best and worst moments( in my opinion there can't be a bad RC moment).

[@Themilkman12345]

@@TailHeavyProductions my local hobby shop have a OG fun cub in stock and can ship out if you want. It’s €330. Let me know and I’ll send you a link. I’m good friends with the shop owner so I could ask questions for you

[@Tsnafu]

I have a fun cub - the flaps need to go to 90 degrees to get the full barn door effect. Set up properly, you can call landing with it 200 foot above your head, drop vertically and land 6 foot in front of yourself 10 seconds later

[@readiboardii3873]

This type of video is REALLY unique in R/C youtube. I can name 10 channels that review the exact same aircraft every month and it's boring me to death, but this video is different. I like the "personal" approach to the nuances, quirks and history of a classic model. Video format is great too.. You guys need to do a series with classic foamies.

[@TailHeavyProductions]

We really appreciate you saying this because it gives us more motivation to keep producing similar content. Our future review videos will follow a similar format to this one but a bit longer with more information about the planes we dig into. Thanks for the support!

[@robdockler3182]

I just picked up a NIB kit version of this plane, thanks for sharing the setup you guys used.

[@JPh35]

Nice flight. Thks !

[@rcaviationcrawling7351]

EXCELLENT video, well done, enjoyed!

[@TailHeavyProductions]

Thank you!!!

[@funflyergermany1014]

Best Rc Plane ever, i love the Funcub. I have 5 of them, i would say its the most fun rc plane to fly😉. Greetings from Germany

[@ross5307]

Reminds me of the dynam primo. I’ve had that dang plane for over 3 years and have crashed it almost 40 times, including 4 times in the drink... but she is still flying. A lot of repairs, but still flying

[@KB_RC]

Great video!!! Always enjoy watching your videos man! Your channel is really growing! 🎉

[@jonas_meyer_photography]

One of my first RC planes, still have it and it flies great.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Plain and simple fellas...In my opinion the Fun Cub is still the best electric bush/sport plane ever. There are many like it...Timbers, Big Foots, Tundras, etc., and they are all very good, but nothing matches a Fun Cub. Still. That alone is pretty amazing. Great video...great edit!

[@TailHeavyProductions]

Thanks! 😀We couldn’t agree more. Hold onto any OG FunCub you can get! No one has made a mass production park flyer sized STOL plane at or near the same wing loading and overall flying weight since.

[@austntexan]

Multiplex foam is so much better than run of the mill planes, and way more tough than eFlite stuff.

[@BillKisel]

What model available today, would you say, comes closest to the Fun Cub in flight characteristics? Thanks. Ps. My UMX Turbo Timber, I believe, has so some of the same characteristics but on a smaller scale.

[@TailHeavyProductions]

For overall floatiness and feel, the only thing that comes close nowadays is the Flex Innovations 170.

[@Themilkman12345]

Is the funcub Ng not the same thing

[@rickardjonsson4526]

[@TailHeavyProductions]

@planes and simple Good question - we haven’t tried one yet. On paper, it’s not quite the same thing. For reference, the wing cube loading on the OG FunCub is 4.2 whereas the NG FunCub is 5.1. It’s 8-10 oz heavier. Would be awesome to test fly one!

[@Themilkman12345]

I have flown the OG but not the Ng. I know someone with one so I'll have a flight and see.

[@baileyharrisRC]

I Love These planes! Great video!

[@HciContractor]

I've got one brand new still in the box I bought years ago and life happened. It's still in the 📦

[@TailHeavyProductions]

Nice! If you would ever consider selling it, shoot me an email. [e-mail] - thanks! 👍 -Zach

[@HciContractor]

@@TailHeavyProductions Zack I'll let you know if I decide to sell it. Thanks brother

[@didierneeferc]

I still have a new one here waiting for me to finish it hahaha!

Audiovisual Media Designer here... how come you have so much time at hand to produce videos like these? Subscribed!!

[@woutchauvaux6672]

What do you guys think about the funcub next generation and the funcub xl? Can't find the original funcub much anymore

[@jackjuhasz533]

dynamite video ! keep it up 😀

[@DonsRCAirplanes]

Awesome video 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

[@AL-RCjunkie]

Hilarious! 😂 👍

[@ARsoundsofstillness]

Curious what you think is the next best bush plane?

[@TailHeavyProductions]

Check out our review on the Multiplex Fun Cub NG

[@SomeGuyInSandy]

[looks over at blue funcub hanging from the rafters...] I really need to get this thing out more often!

[@austntexan]

It's my fav plane. Just got the new NG version a couple weeks back direct from Austria. Price wasn't bad at all, had to wait a month for the Kit though. MrMPX has them stateside for $175. I hope Multiplex keeps this one around. I put an Aura in mine and it flies incredibly in the right hands(not mine).

[@Lilttlejan]

I just found two full kits of these and I’m going to get them

[@NicolasBRENTA]

Awesome 😎

[@SavyBajaBuster]

My favourite plane by a mile😋 I pretty much learnt to fly with my 1st cub until it got to the point where there was more glue than foam😆 ... so what do you do then?? Go out and buy another of course👍 this one still going, running on 4s setup with no crashes after 6 years but I also have 2 new in box funcub kits in my hanger just incase🤣🤣..I also got the NG which I have yet to try hopefully it will be just as much FUN😆👍

[@flyingfools47]

Bruh I just bought my FunCub, but the park 480 motor you recommended doesn't mount to the firewall. Not a single screw hole lines up. How on earth did you mount it?

[@TailHeavyProductions]

I generally either made my own motor mount out of plywood coated in 30 min epoxy using the stock motor mount as a template, or ordered after-market motor mounts online. Ebay is a good place to start.

[@flyingfools47]

@@TailHeavyProductions ok thank you!!! In the meantime I have I comically large Turnigy motor I'll fly it on until I craft or find a new firewall to fit the park 480. It's gonna be so nose heavy until then lol 😂

Geez it’s been that long??? Mine still is in the box buried in my basement together with the Gemini, Cularis and 1 Solius, i lost my OG solius in the woods😂.even my Acromaster OG is just half way build🤦🏻‍♂️..need to go back to rc flying this work and family life is making me a zombie..😫

[@fliegerdefunes7758]

Thanks to this Video I bought myself a OG Funcub for 15€. Just have to find a motor for it.

[@TailHeavyProductions]

Awesome!

[@InoFughaul]

lol... Climbing a tree to rescue a FunCub. We all know how that feels!!

[@jojo-._.]

hehe in germany you can get used OG funcubs for under 100€. New ones are about 200€

[@terjehimle3107]

Funny as hell :)

[@crystalbusenitz5426]

Yah my friend would prefer the timber over the fun cub I challenged him with my fun cub oh I destroyed him

[@propguyaviation6985]

damn you made me get one xD

[@davidradtke5166]

To him it’s just a basher. Bashers break things just for fun. You can as well rip your dollar notes in little pieces. Does practically the same.

[@TailHeavyProductions]

😂

[@baerster]

Your reviews remind me of the great writing in the old Motor Trend magazines. A sort of smart irreverence that made the reviews more human and informative.

[@TailHeavyProductions]

Thank you!

[@henando4029]

I actually have a fun cub at my hobbytown store, let me know if you’re interested in getting an extra one

[@TailHeavyProductions]

100% interested! Please email us, thank you! [e-mail]

[@henando4029]

Hey did you get my email?

[@jono3645]

Love the work you guys do. Have you tried the funcub ng yet id like to know your thoughts and how it compares to the original. Ive just set mine up for pan tilt fpv with inav. Keep up the great work cheers

[@y2kacpuss]

idk why you have so few followers☹️

[@cooperthompson4850]

It's the Toyota Hilux of rc airplanes.

[@TailHeavyProductions]

Don't expect to see us drop it from 15,000 feet though... 😉

[@kermudgeoun3707]

Now that I know this about the fun cub, I now realize how lucky I was to get one for free in 2019!

[@loganyoutube4818]

The fun cub ng is between $375-$415 in the US right now…I think you might have a direct influence on the price markup lol

[@joegroves2517]

That poor plane....

[@mustangxxmatty3106]

doesnt come close to the TIMBER X or night timber x

[@TailHeavyProductions]

The Timber X and Night Timber X weigh nearly twice the weight of the Fun Cub. The Timber X also has less wing area than the Fun Cub, too: the wing cube loading is through the roof in comparison. We donated our Timber X to a kid at our local RC club after owning it for two weeks - it was simply too heavy. Light planes always fly better. Does the Timber X fly harder 3D? 100%. The Fun Cub wasn't even designed for that. However, the Fun Cub will always beat anything else out there in purpose-built-STOL for the lowest wing loading and most capable plane of its size to fly in tight spaces for that reason.
