Yo...Nate, check your landing gear. They look like they need to be on opposite sides so they will be a bit more forward. Makes grass landings a lot better...less nose-overs.

[@lewiemotorsports3616]

They look like they are on backwards

[@BashTillBroken]

Is it just me or are the gear on backwards

[@Delano1226]

Yeah I 99% sure they are mate

[@Tomc528]

Wonder if he is still flying real planes...might wanna rethink if he is

[@Tanker831]

Yup sure are

[@jtkent28]

I think you’re right! Def looks backwards to me 😂

[@SaltyDuck97]

It is, used to have one myself. Assembly isn't that bad either.

[@robgorman6672]

I have and love this airplane. I’ve gotten almost 100 flights on it and haven’t had any issues

[@stanbrewer6079]

Big, slow great flying GI-ANT 🐜 plane. Well even if the wheel gear is on backwards it still lands great. Nice flying Nate & drone-ing Abby. ⚓️⚓️👍💚🧡💛👍🐜👍⚓️⚓️.

[@xxskippernate409xx6]

That was a very scale spin. I like this plane, i will have to get one.

[@BenjySparky]

Abby and Nate, y'all rock! Love the channel and content. Peace ✌️

[@john-j7e7e]

i am always looking for a small nice easy slow flying plane but these big planes seem to be the best slow flying planes. i guess wind doesnt affect them as much?

[@stanpotter7764]

That was an awesome video. Something relaxing about a big slow plane like that. Great flying too!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate that 👍💯😎⚓️

[@goldendredger]

Carbon Cub is a ripper! Have many many flights on mine. Did the Dubro 6" air tires. Clear the Rx to open stock and program for max throws and mechanically adjust for max throws. Then fly it. Once you get used to that swap motor out for the BL-60 and 90a esc with a larger prop. Then you are in for a treat with unlimited climbing power. You can adjust the flap travel by changing the arm position and swapping the control rods around so you get nearly 90 degrees of flaps so it's like putting brakes on in the air allowing you to dive slowly at the ground and flair out at last moment for some super short landings. Great fun and a plane I will always have.

[@xxskippernate409xx6]

You did a spin! That was awesome, I love doing spins in my eachine mustang, and I especially look forward to spinning the bigger planes. I'm still waiting for the E-flite 1.2m Mustang.

[@stevejackson3564]

Who's flying the drone when you fly the plane. That plane Flys nice , smooth & slow. Everything a beginner needs.

[@isaiahryan279]

I really liked your thumbnail for this video... I think if you want more views you should try to get cool more like this... the thumbnail is the part that really gets you hooked on the video.

[@artpeck9272]

In the early 70’s, I built and flew the RCM 60. Not as big as yours here, but large with a Fox 90 motor. You are correct in saying the large planes are not harder to fly and in some ways, more forgiving. I’m not a fan of foamies but this one is nice.

[@TheTootie52]

Looks just like the previous plane, but that's just me. After a while they all start looking like same. Thanks Saylors for the nice maiden!! 😘👍💟

[@cecilbell6799]

It's the same plane different color.

[@ricardopr54]

It is very similar to the original blue one with a few noticeable upgrades. For starters, the wings on the original had rounded wingtips while this one has them squared. The original one had wire landing gear while this version has shock-absorbing articulated landing gear. This version comes with a thumbscrew system for the wings to be attached while the older one uses regular Phillips screws. Another difference is that this new version comes with a battery tray system while the older one did not. The motors are the same in both versions, but the receiver in the BNF version of the new one is more modern with better AS3X and SAFE versions. Everything else is the same. I wish I could buy the plastic landing gear mount of this new version itself to modify my older version with it, but they do not sell it separately. I hope that this clarifies your doubts concerning differences between the two versions. I know this because I have both versions in my hangar... Have a great rest of your day...Happy 4th of July 2024... Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵 😁 👍🏾 🇵🇷

[@joehabeeb3462]

Nice job I've had this playing now for a few years one of my favorites to fly, so much that I set it up FPV and it is a blast 10-12 minutes flights so much fun!

[@ChrisDavis-eq9lj]

The Carbon Z Cub is one of my favorite birds. Slower scale flight all the way to 3D it shouldn't do but does. OK, so inverted flat spins in the top of a tornado aren't good for it, but aside from that stupid? A really great airplane to fly!

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Whats your favorite, this or the cessna 150t huge plane?....i love both of these until i seen the sws timber balsa beauty... That plane should be a gasser, along with the draco, which is my other favorite....all 3 would be awesome to own.

[@mattgohio]

agreed something like this would be perfrect in balsa.. I have a hard time spending this kind of money on a BNF or PNP if its not balsa..

[@EJ-74]

What a beast, I have a 5ft 4inch plane, I thought that was big, this is masive, Nice flying Nate 🔥

[@williamteague8865]

Awesome airplane, thanks Saylors!!

[@ANIMAL168]

I don't fly airplanes, but I do like watching you fly, and crash! Lolol, Beautiful flight Nate, thank you.

[@michaelrobertson4745]

I have this and it is one of the best flying planes. This is my favorite plane. I use a 5,ooo 6s and get 10 minute flights. Those arent wing slats those are vortex generators. And yes your landing gear are on backwards. great flying Nate.

[@davidheath9388]

It does look like the gear are backwards. Lol

[@iansummers6945]

Nice flight I picked up one with the upgraded eflite power 60 and 100A avian esc with floats Beautiful aeroplane 👌

[@tonyvitiello9897]

Did you put the landing gear on backwards for a reason???

[@robertdroner]

Reminds me of the Draco, size wise..."Gentile giants" as you mentioned. 🛩

[@PhilBender612]

How do you put those landing gear on and think it looks okay? They are clearly on backwards.

[@TheRcSaylors]

We were just casually trying to start a new trend/ style. Only the cool kids wear their pants backwards while flying their planes with the landing gear on “backwards” 😂😅💯😎⚓️

Hi, I really like your videos and would like to enjoy them for longer. Please please remove your arms and hands from the propeller circuit when connecting the battery. You also have to program an engine off switch. Please listen to your community. I'm not the first to point this out.

[@dastardlydave1455]

Wow, that's a big plane! Fun

[@stephenpayea3301]

Hi Do you do a range test before maiden flights? Steve

[@chrisballard115]

Was Abby sick , she hardly talked!! Usually she’s always talking.. 😬 Keep up the good work!

[@TheRcSaylors]

This was recorded a while ago and I think it was when she was sick. Saved it for a “rainy” day but in this case it was way too snowy!! Must have been when she was sick. All good now! 👍💯🙏⚓️

@@TheRcSaylors Thought so, because she’s so energetic talking while you’re flying I figured something was off.. 😬 I’m glad she’s still doing good .. You guys are a good team …. Need to start seeing her fly more though, I seen her a couple times so I know she can fly put her up there too , it’s always good seeing a woman flying a RC!!😬👍

🙋🏻‍♂️ Hello, Abby and Nate 😇, I'm Michael from Berlin, 🇩🇪, and I'm watching your su-per-cool channel for about 2½ years now - but I never(?/or at most 1x?) wrote anything... I just turned 57 (last Sunday) - and it's about 43 years ago now, that I put a RC glider in the air - it was sooo cool! My dad was very good at building models - and it was fascinating to watch him build historical sailing ships - without using electric(al?) tools - (Sorry, English is not my native language 🤷🏻‍♂️ - and I don't like to use these translation - apps for entire texts..! "Ouch, my👃! What? Oh..🤥 - yeeeah - at most for single words, I admit!" 😊 - like now....🤭.."🤔ahhh - ha..) - So, I've been able to learn from him how to build a scale rubber powered plane first, and the second plane was this RC - glider... When I finished it, I bought the optional British COX 0,8 ccm motor plus 1 liter of - a very strange and expensive gas - And it all worked really great.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thank you so very much for taking the time to leave a comment my friend in Berlin!! I’m currently eating a bowl of cereal with my children and I’m glad I took a few minutes to check comments to see yours!

[@0oDUBLINo0]

Do larger planes take more damage when they crash vs smaller ones

[@Ilikedahrice]

Yes. But they are less prone to crashing because they feel more stable in the sky.

[@allmightygreat1892]

Seen friends fly that older plane in blue with faulty elevator clevis. Instant crash.😂

[@Videolinquency]

Big ones fly better. As a seasoned modeller and a 1000 hour full sizer, I can testify that the 'real ones' are orders of magnitude easier to fly than anything you guys handle. The flip side is the fact that the stakes are higher, so you need a bit more theoretical insight to stay safe. But this is my advise to beginners: Start with the small and challenging ones that survive crashes, and progress to the larger and easier ones that don't. They are your reward for scaling the initial learning curve.

[@ctrcflyin2011]

Great video, but your landing gear is on backwards. The rake needs to be forward.

I realize Google is my friend and I could ask it what 2.1 m converts to in United States measuring standards but As a narrator, why don't you give us the conversion in numbers that make sense to people who live in the United States and provide the dimensions im feet and inches?

[@TheRcSaylors]

Because all planes are referred to in meters, I’m extremely used to using that measuring system while talking about airplanes. I could also google the conversion, and sometimes do! But our videos are never scripted and I will miss things like zero throttle passes to check stall tendencies, etc… This is something that I’d love to be able to provide in our videos, but it’s just hard to remember it all. Happy Flying! 💯⚓️

[@Sky_Burger88]

@@TheRcSaylors your first statement was because all planes are measured in meters. Well, that serves the rest of the world but not us the United States. And yes I have been an RC pilot for a number of years and I do understand that when you look at the specs for rc planes these days the measurements are in meters, But that doesn't mean it's the best way to present the information to Americans.

[@mototoad1242]

​@@Sky_Burger88there's always one. C'mon dude. It takes you just as much time to Google it as it does him. Actually, it takes much less time than it did to write both these statements while only thinking of your own perspective. Buck up buttercup 😂

People from around the world watch our videos, not just Americans! Though we are proud to be Americans, we also won’t ignore the fact that we have friends around the world that tune in! We are just using the globally accepted terminology, and seriously not trying to ruffle any feathers in doing so. I think this makes me feel better though, speaking to you. I now know definitively that NO MATTER what I do, I’ll never make everyone happy or accepted by all. Thank you for making that abundantly clear for me! I’ve always wondered. But now I know. 👍💯❤️⚓️

But do they!?!? 😅😉⚓️

[@icin4d]

Looks like it. The LE should be parallel with the LE of the wing, perpendicular to the fuse. And the TE should taper rearward. This will put the wheels further forward and change the CG.
