Guillow Piper Cub RC Conversion Part 2

Guillow Piper Cub RC Conversion Part 2 The Guillow Piper Cub kit is an excellent candidate to build and convert to RC (radio control) flight using the 0.5 ounce ParkZone electronic brick. In my earlier video, I take you step by step for a conversion of this Guillow Piper Cub kit to radio control flight, to include tips on how to reduce the weight and using lightweight iron-on covering:    • Guillow Piper Cub RC Conversion Step by Step   The first variant of the Cub did not have sufficient nose weight for the proper center of gravity location. For this video and a second set of flight trials, I added a bit more nose weight and the CG is now correct. I also removed the wing struts so I could ensure that the wings were warp free. I took out a bit of motor right thrust, as I do not think this is needed for the lightweight electric motor system. I reduced the rudder throw a bit to try and forestall spiral turns. The second set of flights did not go exceptionally well, although there was a quite nice flight at the end. In summary, with the smaller RC Guillow kit conversions, sometimes "Gremlins" creep in. I do not have a clear answer as to why this Cub does not fly properly, but sometimes this is the outcome of a build of this nature.
