    NICE, yeah i'd say aside from doing the bungee mod as well to the gear, it was the next best mod I did to make this plane more usable and scale-like. Cheers!

    I second all of that! I still need to get your 3D print file and have someone around me who prints to make me your tailwheel mount. I REALLY am seeing the need for a larger tailwheel now with my tall grass I am flying out of! the original one is so tiny, if comes off the rim if you slide a...

    @Snoopy1 I am going to try and order an extra tail leaf as well, or make one, because mine only had two springs and while they are currently holding up, I don't trust from what I have heard on here they will last much longer... And for those of you wanting pics of the LE slats, here are some...

    yeah, when I installed mine I had to do a little bit of finagling and I had to fix one of the tabs because it was crooked and broken. After a little bit of adjustment and sanding to get them to slide in a little bit easier, the glueing went fine and everything lined up great!

    I have them installed on mine and I LOVE the way it flies! I can literally bring my plane in slower than my TBM and just plop her down on the gear and with the bungee gear mod to the Xcub gear, it looks exactly like a full scale STOL/Bush plane coming in for a VERY short landing! flight...

    Sorry, Snoopy. didn't realize that was you at first before my last reply, because you changed your profile pic. I remember now you posting those photos of your air duct setup. Went back and had a look. I might have to do some of that as well. Thanks, man! -Clint

    Guys, I was wondering if any of you other Electric dudes could help me with an issue? I am running the Xpwr 40CC EF motor with Castle Edge HV120amp ESC. I am having motor temp issues! My motor is super hot to the touch after landing and I have already lowered my settings on the ESC quite a...

    yes. I didn’t like how big the rims were with the airtops. They don’t look scale at all to me, so I had the smaller rims that come with the 6” Dubro wheels. I reemed out there middle of those and outfitted them with some screws from ace to fit the width and they look amazing!

    thanks! It was a lot of work and tons of readjusting, but so happy with it! You should check out the 7” airtops. That’s what I am using and they look very scale with the 6” Dubro rims in them.

    I wanted to share with you guys my success today modifying the Xcub gear. I absolutely hated these gear when I first got them! They are WAY to stiff and unforgiving when left stock. So after chopping and drilling the lower tubes yesterday to make the gear sit up a little taller, I tried the...

    Ok, right after I made that last post above this one, I went and spent about an hour and a half working to modify the Xcub gear. I LOVE how it turned out. I chopped about 20 mm off the end of the lower bar where the springs are attached and drilled a new hole about 15 mm closer in to the...

    @320CKA Here ya go, some more shots of how she looks now finished and flying. With the gear and Airtop tires. I’m about to modify the Xcub gear to make them sit higher by shortening the lower rod and about to try some flights on some smaller packs. these picks are from my backyard flying site...

    I am currently flying with (2) 6s 5000mah Lipos in series and I can get 6.5-7 min flights time, but with the Xcub gear it’s too heavy to feel nimble and STOL how I like it, so I am about to try some 4000mah packs to see what the weight difference will give me. I’m willing to lose a tiny bit of...

    Correct. I drilled out the hubs, greased where they roll on the axle and then used rubber spacers to create a “brake” against the Xcub gear and rim.
