J3 Navy Cub

[TiredIronGRB]

I have one of these on the way and wanted to get ahead of the game...

Thanks everyone!

1. Are all the decals already applied? Yes
2. Is there a need to replace the stock ESC if using 4s? No
3. Any known weakness other the the landing gear system mentioned above? Be easy on the cowl
4. Any tips not in the manual for construction? Don't over tighten the hubcaps

Thanks so much for the assistance!

Glad to help, great little planes.

One more question, how is the space for the battery? Is it restrictive or more open?

4S 2200 fit perfectly.

What about 3000

You would need to trim.

Just wanted to say I tried the same mod on the U/C on my Cub, made the world of difference. Google brought me to this thread so thanks TiredIron.

You are very welcome...and welcome to Hobby Squawk!

In for a set. I took the extra precaution and ordered via amazon threw HK. Better for me if something goes nuts

I finally ordered my very own Cub today.

Hobby King has them on sale for $135.62 with free shipping. I had $9 in reward dollars so my cost was only$126.62. I'm pretty happy with that price.

I'm looking forward to getting this one in the air.

Fantastic bird. JUST FANTASTIC. LG are the suck though. TiredIronGRB hooked me up though

[dkalwishky]

Guess what showed up today? My very own Cub. Guess what's going on the workbench tomorrow?

[rifleman_btx]

Your very own cub! :):Cool:

I was able to complete the maiden flight and and a couple follow up flights. Everything went fine and no issues to report. I used a 3s battery and it seemed fine for Cub style flying. Was able to come in very, very slow on the approach and "set" it down. Look forward to having this one in the trailer as an in between flyer for some of the others!

George have you installed floats and if so how?

[TiredIronGRB]

No I haven't but I bet a set of Timber floats would work.

[AkumaZeto]

I cant remember whats under that mount you made. I know there is one slit but was there two? Looks like timber uses two t bar attachemnts.

[TiredIronGRB]

There's just one slit.

Sorry to bump this older thread but does ya'lls prop free spin? When completely off the throttle the prop, just stop like it has a brake program.
