Welcome to my channel :). I'm an Aviation and Technology enthusiast flying Airplanes, Float Planes, RC Planes or on the simulator. If you appreicate my efforts I am trying this buy me a coffe site, and I'll probably spend it on planes or cameras :). www.buymeacoffee.com/captainleoaviator
My channel is where i can share videos encompassing the following themes with:
Airplane flight RC Airplane flying RC builds, tips and reviews. Flight Simulation 3D Printing and design
My inital flight sim videos contain some interesting destinations, sightseeing, flying knowledge, random commentary and news. I hope you enjoy them. Let me know in the comments if you have ideas for future flying, improving the videos, growing the channel and such. Helpful feedback is highly appreciated.
The videos and streams here are for entertainment and informative purposes only, not real world training!
Hi from Switzerland 🇨🇭Very useful video, thanks a lot. Much much better than the HZ user guide! I am going to have a look at some of your other videos, and subscribe 😀👍😎
Same as the original screws, which are machined threaded screws, just a bit longer. I didn’t use anchors but that sounds like a good idea for the two aft holes.
Why did you choose Standard Instructor over Pilot Link Instructor? Also, I too was working with the Aero Scout and it's transmitter. Is there a way to have the model fly on advanced, no Gyro (Beginner and Intermediate).
Good man yourself clear as mud Sir .. I have an older first generation DX 8 so I guess I need to get a more modern version that I can use it as a trainer Thanks for posting this video…Slan
I’ve been doing a lot of research about the Cub S2 wanting to get back into the hobby after a nearly four decade hiatus. Wow, things sure have changed. I appreciate the videos on the Cub particularly. The gear seemed to me to be the weak link. The Valiant gear is already in my shopping cart. Decision made. Thanks!
I have been going insane trying to get some one to understand the issue i was having with this plane, the dx6e and the flight modes not working I could not find the file off the spectrum web site to down load for the cub so i was lost. first plane ever so i am just learning. every one ( including my hopbby shop guy ) kept saying read the manual..... and id say im telling you i read the manual theres nothing in there that helps the situation. so im going to try it your way and hope it works thank you for the video im starting to think they are pushing this 250 dollar transmitter just to get you to spend the money and then it just wont work with this plane as easy as it should. so again thanks
THANKS a MILLION!!! This saved me from pulling all my hair out trying to figure out the flap system among the other issues I experienced! Tossed that manual suggestion out the window.
Thanks for making these videos! I’m trying to setup the same plane with NX10. I have everything working except I can’t seem to get the flaps working at all! I went into the channel assign and set 7 aux2 to D, as that is where I have the flaps plugged in, but nothing moving. Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong? Thanks
@@CaptainLeo In case you missed it, you say that you won't install it in this plane. Same for LAS. Not useful, better leave that out of the video. I found the information elsewhere.
Hello Captain! Thank you so much - wonderfully explained. Thank you! Bought a DXe to teach my 10 year old to fly. The Spektrum manual is pretty spars so your kind help is very much appreciated!!
I have the same problem. No green light in "Normal mode" (Position 0 on the "B" switch) tried your trick of holding stick down and to the right, but that didn't solve it. Very weird how it's different than all the other Blade helis.
Do you think the Kavan wheels will be OK on the carbon cub S2 I went with the 4 inch and I also ordered your inserts and a battery tray from your webpage. I’m hoping the Kavan wheels are not too heavy for that plane. What are your thoughts?
I only have the Kavan wheels on the FMS cub, the inserts are designed for that, they might work out on the carbon cub if you have bolts to fit. Let me know how it works out!
I am going to do the exact same thing on my Corbin cub S2, but I was going to put the 4 inch Kavon wheel using your inserts I was going to use a four MM stainless steel bolt so they work do you think they will be OK and not too heavy for the S2 cub?
Thats a very interesting customization! I don’t know what the weight difference would be, but the Carbon Cub can handle floats and a camera, so there is a good chance.

Thank you so very much for this video. You just did what I was already thinking. I had my eye on those wheels, but I did not know exactly how to mount them. I ordered three of your inserts and one of your carbon cup S2 battery trays just wanted to say thank you so muchfor creating those inserts can’t wait to get them in. Try them.
Cpt - thanks for the video. Just now upgrading to a new DX8 with my Carbon Cub and also finding your video. This will be very helpful in setting up the new configuration. Thanks,
My landing gear area has been a combination of hot glue and craft sticks for months. This is a much appreciated solution! (Think right wheel would tighten)
Thank you so much for this video. I just purchased the carbon cub in have been really thinking about upgrading the radio but I’m still learning. Thank you so very much again for walking through the step-by-step programming. It helps so very much.👍👍☹️
Absolutely fantastic upgrade. I did this and it should have been how they did this from the start. One 1 thing… I didn’t have the stock landing gear guides broke. I also need them for my floats. So I cut a channel for the guides to fit through the new gear strut and it worked beautifully. Also added to a little structure, besides the screws to the modification. I really appreciate this video 👍it was a great help!!
How much heavier is that aluminum bracket than the original metal rod? I ordered the bracket but it’s on back order and I have not gotten it yet. Was just wondering if it’s pretty lite or if it’s a heavier piece of aluminum?
I’ve set a switch with 3 positions now. R100, E0; R95,E10; R 85,E20. Its personal taste, seems easier for me to fly with 10% expo. The most is used when training my friends who are beginners.
Wireless trainer mode? I wonder if I actually needed the link cable I bought... I want to connect my NX8 to my old DX6i for when my dad is practicing his helicopter flying. He can do okay but with his eyesight sometimes it gets away from him and he panics a bit and that's when crashes happen. Being able to pull him away from walls and such would be great.
