I saw the 60% at the STL Huckfest this past weekend. Saturday evening they were flying it and flying it inverted, knife edges, pretty tricky manuvers. It was cool watching that big bird fly!!! I believe it was Jared Sisk's plane

Yep Jared let Bigbird fly his 60% cub.

Jason was like "I won't hurt it" and proceeded to fly by inverted at 6'

Yup, that was cool. I didnt know Bigbird was the one flying it but I knew it was someone with some talent or BALLS!!!

Just got this back from Ali (Machinchy)


His Hempel was built by Craig Bavery with some small modifications :

Jr 8711's all round
2 per aile
2 per elv
3 rudder

Powerbox Royal with built in Spektrum 12ch rx

2x 3700 Mah Dualsky Lipos for Servos and RX

ZDZ 210 from RC Showcase with supplied and fitted electric start system, which people tell me is a small motorbike starter, using a mercedes starter solenoid to operate.
The starter motor is powered by a 4500 Mah Dual sky 4 cell lipo

RCGF 36x10 prop

[MrFlash]

oh forgot to mention..apparently that flight was its first public outing (9th flight in total). God help us when he's had some practice !!

[cjbravo]

Kiwi we have to change the motor to ZDZ 210 !!!!!! mate...

[Kiwi]

Bulls Butt, we have a 3W212 sitting in the box if you want to cut the firewall back. That will kick ass and its heavy so we can take out the boat anchor you tie wrapped up front to make it balance.

Cheers mate,

His other flight of the day was even better but I had put the cam down to watch . K/E about 18" from the deck and generally jaw dropping. Hopefully someone else might have caught it on YouTube

Hey Fella's!

I thought I would chime in!!

yep the cub is awesome and the ZDZ 210 just keeps getting stronger!!thanx Mrflash for the info u posted!

We changed the control surface hardware from using the threaded rod to getting some cnc made phenolic horns made!there are only 2 8711's per ail which has proven to be enough and 2 per elev half! and 3 on the rudder!we also had some custom ali hubs made!have a look at the pics!
oh and the mad man himself flew the cub like in the vid on its second test flights!as the builder my heart was literally in my mouth

[MrFlash]

Hi Craig,

Didnt realise you had built it till Ali mailed me...really nice work matey !!
