jons new eflite Carbon-Z cub maidened today
Jan 12th, 2014 at 5:31pm
 
The maiden flight of my son Jon's Eflite Carbon-Z cub in Milford, Nova Scotia January 12, 2014.

The video is edited to remove some shakey camera work and some out of focus video.  Other than that it is almost the complete maiden flight in the correct sequence.

This new eflite plane is impressive!  Jon says when he bound the included AS3X receiver all control surfaces had been factory adjusted to exact neutral and when he flew it No trim was required.  You can see in the video he landed a couple of times on this first flight to make adjustments to the amount of down elevator mixed in with the flaps.  that too turned out to be the exact amount recommended in the manual, 45 percent on his DX8.

Shawn was on hand at the school yard today as well where he maidened his new Carl Goldberg chipmunk.  A very sleek little electric, scale colors and well built AND very fast!

A challenge to land on the road there today in the windy conditions, a challenge which shawn was up to I am pleased to say.

So is the Cub worth the 399 price tag?  Pretty steep for a foamie.
