HK old Time Cub - Three Channel

by NorseHammer | January 13, 2013 | (6) Posted in Just Fun


This is a simple small plane, easy to setup and fly. It has some extra load carrying capacity, enough for the  720P version of the HK Wing Cam. It was mounted on vlecro at the wing joint looking through the spinning prop. The plane has basic flight control left, right from the rudder, up and down,  from the elevator.  The generous dihedral  makes for a fairly stable flight so long as the control  throw is kept mild.  You could use this plane as a trainer, its a small  low cost and quick to assemble project. I have plans to fly it indoors at some time. Wind will be a challenge, anything over 3 mph or 5 kph would be more than beginner conditions while 7 mph or 10 kph would challenge the experienced flier with this plane. I could not get the decals off the supplied paper they just came apart, I thought about painting but have yet to do so. It should probably get a pair of skis for winter flying and I'll have to try floats with it at some point too.
