It's nice to have access to a good lathe. I'm retired, but do the occasional job.

mw757, nice place you live, spent 3 weeks on the island about 2007.

Thanks, we really enjoy living here. I’m setting up my ng’s control travel and then on to applying the decals. I’m aiming for a test flight Monday weather permitting.

Hello mates,

My Funcub NG is in the mail, I would like input on a few things before it comes in so I can have parts waiting. First off, what length servo extensions are you all running, for the tail and the wing? Also, for those of you who are running a spinner, what size?

Thanks!

I’m using 9” aileron extensions with 6”y adaptor, 6 “ flap , 18”rudder & elevator . The spinner in the kit is 45mm diameter

I’ve been flying mine for about a month now. It’s a definite improvement over the original Funcub...better landing gear, flaps and motor mount. I ended up using a permax 3720-630 motor and a 13x8 prop. With this combo I can use 2200 3s or 4s batteries. I tried a 5 blade prop, it looked good but wasn’t enough thrust on 3s.

Interesting . . . it seems like Hitec/Multiplex isn't importing them into the USA. It would be nice to know what's up. Last I heard the fire in one of the factories was holding things up, but it looks like the assembly line is working in other places worldwide. The website is simply blank.

I ordered mine from https://www.hoelleinshop.com/e-vendo...in_e&a=catalog . Due to Covid limitations, they had to ship ocean freight.
Have patience...mine took 2 months to arrive but was worth the wait.

Is the old original FunCub available anywhere?

Probably only in a dusty back shelf of a hobby store. I don't know of any North American distributor that still carries it and the websites are all dark on the model.

That's what I have been finding. Should have bought one years ago. Hopefully the new one will be worth the wait.

Hi all

After 5 year hiatus I am getting back to RC flying. I have a brand new ready to be flown Fun Cub then I see the NG version. Should I go ahead and purchase the NG or just fly the original version? I wonder if there is a HUGE improvement that I should not be bothered with the original. Dai

if you have one, what is the downside of flying it? or you could sell it if you prefer the ng.
