    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    No I believe you! Why else would the mfgr say do a 20 min ground run!?!? It must be unique to this size of gas engine. As long as it's running rich with a higher oil content, and it's not scorching outside... I'd rather do a long ground run, then have an unreliable idle to land/fly my airplane...

    oh boy... just what I need... 1gal = 8oz/10min at a time = 16 tanks and 2.5hours of flying later.... wow.

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    ha ha! I'm kind of wondering if they say to do a long ground run like this because it will accelerate the break-in time exponentially for this little twin for a more reliable idle? I've ran an 8oz tank through it pretty rich, and it's producing a lot of black sludge... It seems to have improved...

    I didn't do the 20min breakin ground run like they said to do... maybe that's an idea. seems like a looooong ground run ha ha

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    Fired up the RCGF 21cc twin. I like it... except I cannot seem to get a reliable idle once brought down from full throttle. It will instantly die once the stick gets to idle. I richened the LSN and it just sounds rough, and emits a smoke cloud.... so I went the other way and although a very high...

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    I have actually worked on the full scale carbon cub, the only carbon in it is mainly fuselage stringers, upholstery, and the engine cowling. The rest is comprised of plastic fuel & brake lines (light sport model), lots of CNC aluminum parts, ultralight fabric on the top of the wing, and the lack...

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    Thanks guys. The RCGF engine barely fits in the cowl because the cowling tapers inward as it goes aft. (I think that makes sense).. so you kinda have to put it on at an angle while gently squeezing it oblong while messing around with the exhaust pipes. note that the cowling sits aft a little...

    Most Excellent! I led a worship band for a couple years and then kinda got burnt out when my pianist left town :( With some musicians it just clicks, and it's been hard finding a replacement that has their heart set on the same style and worship. So I played (acoustic guitar and vocals) by...

    Here's what all the onboard electronics look like when installed. Note that I had to move the throttle servo to the left side for this engine. A little Tail Dragger RC swag.

    So this is the big question for this plane that everyone want to know. does the RCGF 21cc actually fit in this cowling??? Yes it Does.

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    Like I mentioned before, not much detail here. But you get the idea. It was reviewed in Model Airplane News as a GRIZZLY ha ha. Probably because of the amount of aluminum parts they made for this cub... like the welded gear legs, aluminum struts and wing tube. makes this birdy a little heavier...
