Hello, just found this forum and I've had lots of ideas already, just by looking at this forum. Thanks! Last summer I finally got my first bigger R/C plane. shipped all the way from the U.S and over here to norway took some weeks, but well worth it  So I decided to post some pictures of my Hobbyzone Super Cub. It's COMPLETELY stock  Exept for adding bigger main gear wheels, because I do most of my take-offs in grass. (first time I post pictures at forums *crosses fingers*)       All of this was taken in August 2008 on a warm summer day, in Mosjøen (Norway). Some pictures of our local R/C airport :   Please reply, comment, if there is something I could do better, please tell me! ;D Thanks Kevin Nordås, Norway. |

its most obviously to show off your flying skills. you're supposed to fly under it inverted 2 feet off the ground and they award you a million bonus points...surprised you didnt know that |

Thanks all, for comments!  At the moment I have Dubro snow skis attached to my cub, as we have about 1,5 metres (now what's that in inches.. around 50-60?) of snow:D It's great to fly in the winter season, the only thing that is bad about it, is my batteries... I guess they're allergic to cold weather  (Now we're talking about -25 'c or less) they doesn't give me more then 8-10 minutes of flying time. (all stock) I might upgrade to lipo's and brushless when the snow is gone! Any advice of what engine/ESC etc to choose? Maybe someone wanna give me a shopping list? ;D |

Okay folks, I haven't been in the air for months, because of bad weather.. So now it's time to do an update! Did an evening flight yesterday, with my cub, flycamone2 attached. Recorded this infront of my house! Video is coming. ;D On this video, the camera is fastened on the planes' belly ( under the battery box). Any other spot that is good?  |

I like attaching the cam onto one of the wings looking back at the cub.  Fit the cam near the orientation stripes & counter ballance the other wing with something of similar weight. Works better when bl. |
