RC Cub with FF-320 Pegasus 4-Cylinder Ringed 4-Stroke Engine

Large Cub not sure which model but wingspan looked to be about 100” powered by an FF-320 Pegasus 4-Cylinder Ringed 4-Stroke Engine

[@russcole5685]

This is the first video I've seen of one these engines flying, absolute pleasure. Usually they are only shown bench mounted for demonstration. Thanks again for showing this in it's designed environment

[@Ride-Fly]

Your welcome, it has a neat sound. Its a guys at my local flying club. That was the maiden flight.

[@russcole5685]

@@Ride-Fly trying to get back into the hobby for the last fue years, used to fly as a teen in the 90's. Sadly weather here, and life, job, family ect does get in the way. But it's fun building and dreaming. LoL. Hello from little New Zealand

[@calsurflance5598]

Beautiful model. That engine just makes it!👍👌

[@somenamelessdude8095]

That's awesome. Sounds like a tiny motorcycle too

[@bradhaines5711]

Fantastic mate. Beautiful aircraft and engine. My favorite RC Aeroplane by far.

[@jimzeleny7213]

I have the same plane powered by the FF240 Pegasus. The 320 came out shortly after my engine was delivered so I don't know if I would have gone with this larger model. I've only flown mine from floats and like this one, it has power to burn. Flew it about 5 miles from a chase boat with a Sony 8mm camcorder on board. The sound was very realistic at part throttle. You might notice that there is never any sound with drone videos due to the howling fans. I recall having to move the firewall back slightly to get the propeller in the right place relative to the cowl. Great to see this one flying. I gather he was eventually able to slow it down enough to safely land....

[@martintruszkowski1825]

Great sounding engines, I have 2 off them converted to run on pump gas, one is in a toprc spitfire the other ones in a sukhoi su26, up in the sky is where they belong.

[@auderaphael208]

This Piper is so beautiful! Nice flight! ☺️

[@1320fastback]

I love my 81" Cub with a Saito .62 This is nuts!

[@jimsoque4380]

Took off like an Extra 300!

[@andrewtaylor2067]

Really great model, sounds awesome!! Only problem is in a full scale cub you solo from the rear seat!

[@jeffpiatt3879]

Great engine. Way overpowered Cub. News reports indicate that it went rougue, caught up with, and shot down to full scale jet fighters, later that day.

[@HolzundLack]

What a sound! Fantastic!

[@chrisdoingrc]

Love the Cub, and that engine makes it perfect👍

[@richardmessenger9474]

The idling sounds like someone farting in the bath...😁😁😁

[@Pizo53]

Nice to see real engines in these models …. Electric motors have their advantages but they are just not the same 👍

[@robertcovell2787]

Oh that is adorable!!! love the engine. My J3 is only 1/4 scale with a 1.20 Gemini.

[@LCMNUNES1962]

PERFEITO, NO BRASIL ESSE AVIÃO SE CHAMA PAULISTINHA, FABRICADO EM SÃO PAULO ! VERY GOOD PIPER 👍👍 🇧🇷

[@kkteutsch6416]

embora semelhantes nao eram absolutamente iguais e ha outros tambem - Decathlon, Citabria etc, com o mesmo desenho basico....

[@peterbremberg3900]

Please never start this engine with an electric starter. The connection rods are very sensitive and like to kick out when the combustion chamber is flooded. Make sure that the cylinders have an ignitable mixture and then start by hand. Close the choke and turn the propeller by hand a few rotations with throttle fully open, then start glowing and the engine will start at the first try. The connection rods are not more available as a spare part, be careful!

[@billclark5943]

Super cool. The bubbly sounding exhaust is a bit comical though. I'll bet a 4 in to 1 would sound great

[@gennady5946]

[@SkidzFPV]

Beautiful model and the perfect engine for the plane, even if it is a little overpowered lol. Looks like a Sig 1/4 scale kit maybe?? I built the Sig 1/4 scale clipped wing cub, very nice kits.

[@JH1200A1]

Slow that thing down. 😂 You'll fly the right wing slap off of it. I have the exact same airplane and I love it. Nice engine on it just don't wreck it because of too much throttle.

[@MasboyRC]

Wow.. this is so cool 👍

[@planeben]

Way to much power for a 1/4 scale. That engine is the perfect size for a 1/3 scale. I had the twin cylinder cousin to that 320 in the OS160 twin on a BUSA 1/4 scale Cub. That was a little overpowered as well. Take-offs were accomplished at 1/3 throttle and cruise at half. It was perfect on floats.

[@catlady8324]

*too much

[@jonchmielowski835]

Very powerful! Looks like it could be a bit heavy too lol

[@BHARGAV_GAJJAR]

Very attractive aircraft

[@williameaston136]

Beautiful

[@a-fl-man640]

3800$ ain't a bad price. real cub is the most fun i've had flying.

[@dougsather2939]

Very nice 👌 😇🙏🎣

[@patriciosilva1969]

Wow! The power to weight of this model is about 3 or 4 times.greater than the real thing even with a Lycoming O320, which you don't see in Cubs, but on heavier PA18s. Would you limit RPMs in this beautiful model to half, to mimic more accurately the real thing's performance and sound?

[@LCMNUNES1962]

JA VOEI NUM DESSE DE VERDADE 👍🇧🇷

[@kkteutsch6416]

A friend of mine have a 2,60 M Cub with the O.S 160 4 T 2 cylinder engine which is 1/2 power of this engine...

Whats the prop size?

[@hdgaming5365]

When I paused the video it appears to be a 20x10 as labeled on the prop

Too much engine power for a Cub...

who cares its an rc plane not a real one 🙄 u must be fun at parties

What size prop?

Im not sure

[@hdgaming5365]

20x10

[@indridcold8433]

Thank you for not making it electric. I am tired of seeing electic models. If you do not have a bunch of batteries, there is a long charge time. They last a short time, and the batteries produce solid waste. Electricity is easily the worse fuel for any vehicle, even model ones.

[@JesseWright68]

Thats bullshit.

[@bengoodman6112]

I agree, I own both electric and petrol models, enjoy both but you can't go past the ease of use with electric, batteries don't take long at all to charge and no mess

Slow the dang thing down will ya. Would sound better and look more scale flying. A better choice would have been the little brother to this motor the ff-240. Looks great and ya did a nice job on it
