I am going to make a brushless super cub. I want a e-flite motor that is capable of making my super cub go vertical. What do u recommend?

I have an e-flite 450 brushless and it gives plenty of scoot to the SC, but won't climb vertically until I lose orientation (got a T-28 with a Power 10 that does it though). If you like scale flying, go with a 450, for a lot of vertical climbing go with the e-flite 480 (but that tends to stress and wear out the airframe much quicker)

I've got dozens of E-Flite motors from the Park 180, 250, 400, 450, 480 to the Power 25, 32 and 46. Then I got a Rimfire 42mm for my super sportster and realized it was much more durable than the E-Flites. Got a Rimfire 35mm for the SuperCub several months ago and it is a winner. A 28mm would be comparable in power to the E-Flite Park 450. The shaft & motor casing stand up to crashes much better. A couple nose in's with an E-Flite and the motor will never be the same. Rimfires run smoother too. That's my take. AXI motors look good too.

Want vertical? Go E-Flite 480 or Rimfire 35mm with an 11x6 prop. And a 35 to 40 amp ESC.

Gentlemen, you might want to check a profile before jumping into those kind of questions. We have here a single post from a 14 year old who's sole concern is making a Cub go vertical. Makes me pause just a moment.

Want to go vertical, simply done with stock motor etc.... get up high, nose down into a dive. There ya go, vertical.  |

Good one Ginho, been there too many times.
Fly, Are we supposed to check out profiles before responding to questions everytime? I do see the danger of arming a youngster with the knowledge to build something that can be deadly if used or done wrong.

Trust me, I have used motors way bigger than a e-flite 480. I can handle it.

I do see the danger of arming a youngster with the knowledge to build something that can be deadly if used or done wrong. That's up to you. After awhile you may notice certain kind of questions phrased in a way that are pretty familiar that make me do some checking. This one has all the signals. |

ha no didnt i tell y'all i sold it to a guy at my club? i dont do the electrics anymore (actually i do have one little delta wing that is really fun to mess around with and is good for quick flights). i discovered glow and found it to be much more efficient and less expensive, especially for larger models. most of you would probably disagree...just my .02. i havent been able to find anyone who makes a beaver glow kit or arf...i keep writing to great planes but no one is listening  you gotta have some other stuff than the SCs now right ellis? admiral |
