https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...idProduct=3755 I bent the arm up and screwed it into the bottom of the rudder (with some CA in the foam to firm it up). You also have to drill out the hinge a little bigger to fit the wire in. Rock solid! (But these things can be done later if you just want to get flying right away.) Bob |

I was going to use something similar from another mfg., but that's perfect. Now all I need is my plane to blow out of the big oak tree it is stuck in. Bill |

Ok, rephrase....
Every funcub pilot should be capable to do this without damage to the funcub.... Now you again ... Btw, I once had a stalled elevator on a cessna.... It was in the up-position. By modulating the throttle I could land safely... Wasn't easy! But next day I discovered that the failure was not in the servo, but the receiver. So I had to do the same exercise but now with elevator locked slichtly down!!! Only at WOT it climbed slightly. So this was a mission impossible . |

Success gents. The trick was to take two aluminum swimming pool poles that extend to 16 feet and take one of the 8 foot sections from a second and make 24 foot pole. Here is how you retrieve a Funcub that's stuck in a tree over 50 feet high. 1. Use a 28 foot extension ladder. 2. Once in the tree climb up another 10 feet 3. Take 24 foot extension pole and poke at the planeuntil it falls out of the tree. So by official measurement (+ / - 2 foot) the plane was up in the tree 52 feet. Damage? Virtually nothing. The plane didn't fall straight down from 52 feet. It went from limb to limb and landed gently: DAMAGE 1. 3/4" wide chunk out of the leading edge at the wing root from poking at the plane with a aluminum tube. 2. Broken prop from crash into the tree. Those APCs are glass. 3. One very discharged lipo 4. One flap hinge pulled off the wing. I owe my energetic neighbor of 20 years a couple of cases of Bud Lite. I did mow his back acreage which he stopped mowing yesterday to try to bring down the plane. EDIT: I am charging the lipo. It dropped to 9.25 volts. Not a good usage pattern for 3S lipos but it wasn't stone dead after 24 hours. I am sure this took some cycles out of it and raised IR. |
