The Multiplex Fun Cub has always been our top pick for any type of back country flying. This is partly because of its incredibly light weight with low wing cube loading which allows it to fly considerably slower than its competitors, as well as gentle flight characteristics with a predictable feel.
For those curious - our Fun Cub weighs in at 35 oz with a 55in wingspan and a wing area of 589 sq. in. This gives a wing cube loading of 4.2.
Compare that to the Turbo Timber Evolution, which has a 55oz flying weight with a 61” wingspan, and a wing area of 559 sq.in. This gives it a wing cube loading of 7.8 in comparison!
Info on wing cube loading: • The TRUTH About Wing C...
We were saddened when the OG Fun Cub was discontinued - as there will likely never be another mass-produced park flyer STOL plane made equally as light.
However - the Fun Cub NG is available - and we gave it a shot!

This video is exactly how i feel about my supercub. The 1.3m with a little bit of upgraded electronics is perfectly dialed in for me, and my choices of flying locations. It's another aspect of this hobby that i love. I get good ideas from awesome creators on youtube. And apply what i like to my taste- with a sprinkle of my own tinkering and imagination, and Viola! Zee perfect zesty rc flying experiAnce served up just for Moi!! 😊 Thanks TailHeavy! Awesome video! AND i just got notification of my Cool THP swag order shipping today!! Double THP awesomeness for me today!! 👍

Fun Cubs are great. I do believe they were made in South Korea though. Chun Park, a good friend of mine who hooked me up to get my Tail Rotorless helicopter manufactured by Kyosho in the 80's, was also the CEO of Hitec RCD R/C Radios based in South Korea. Chun purchased Multiplex Radios years ago, but all their manufacturing was still in South Korea with their other planes. The Fun Cub XL was discontinued, and still shown on the Hitec RCD website, which was bigger. Now that I no longer having a Fun Cub, the FMS Bush Cub has become a 2nd choice fave of mine, thanks to your first video on it. Fly easy, ~Dave

I've preorderd my OG Funcub back in 2010 at my LHS, stil got that exact plane, doesn't look as pretty anymore but it stil flys great. I've not counted the ammount of flights but it has to be over 1000, easily my most favorite plane. If i had to limit my hangar to just one plane, it would be a Funcub.

@Wings_of_foam 4 месяца назад

Love this video! My next plane is the Funcub or the stick plane?? (Can't remember the plane's name) I love the Bush flying idea but I'm still training on my Apprentice STS. Thought I could do some "Bush flying" from my garden. Stupid me, I crashed. Broke the tail and wing, but I just spent 4 days repairing her. Lesson learned, I still need a lot of practice before I try to fly in smaller areas with trees lol. But I enjoyed the repairing process and think/hope I did a good job haha. Happy flying all!

@DSB1234567890 4 месяца назад

You're probably thinking of the slow ultra stick for the stick plane! I have one and it definitely flies slow and doesn't take up much space. It has lots of control authority too, I rarely use more than 50% rates. The landing gear are reportedly delicate though (see tail heavy's video on it). I don't have experience with it, but the FMS super cub 1.3m seems worth considering for a slow/bush flier as well - tail heavy has a video on it too.

That was great!!! As popular as bush planes are these days, you'd think somebody somewhere could produce a carbon copy of the FunCub, at a reasonable price (arf+control rods $150) and make bank. I'd buy I know about the ng but still...

@krumple8560 4 месяца назад

Fun Cub is one of my favorites. While my original met its demise a year or two ago, I loved it so much that I had already bought a spare that is in the build cue to replace it. While I like my Turbo Timber Evo it is not a Fun Cub...

So for me I guess it didn't work out. Participation is out. Actually used to it. You have no idea. It's OK, I enjoy it by myself. Hopefully my dad can feel it. He would have loved it. I'll find something eventually and figure it out. Take care,it's been entertaining.

@fooman2108 4 месяца назад

I have a question, and i have asked on several R/C aircraft posts. Why don't people use flaperons? A lot you aircraft use individual servos for the ailerons, so THEORETICALLY, all it should take is some radio programming. This should give you more flap/wing area and better low speed control.

@johnstrauss1981 4 месяца назад

I haven't personally done this, but having flaps on the wingtips would increase the aoa and theoretically increase Stall severity. That could be a reason why people don't use them as often.

@TailHeavyProductions 4 месяца назад

@johnstrauss1981 got part of it - you also have to be careful dropping the ailerons too much in the program/mix or aileron authority drastically drops. It’s fun to mess with, but the FunCub hasn’t felt like it would benefit from it specifically.

@fooman2108 4 месяца назад

@TailHeavyProductions thank you, I appreciate the feedback on my idea. Abd was curious, I am a Navy brat, abd Navy Vet...and probably the most notable use if flapperons is the F-18 Hornet. And have always wondered why scale R/C don't use them.

@FRMaverick6 4 месяца назад

Funcub vs PA-18 supercub ? So far, I think funcub is lighter and flies better, while PA-18 is stronger 🤔. True ? Is Funcub's Elapor that more likely to get bumps and small scratches than FMS foam ?

@TailHeavyProductions 4 месяца назад

On the contrary, the elapor will take more abuse hangar rash wise and the FunCub in general takes hits great primarily because of how little mass there is to the airframe in general. F=MA

@jacksemporiumofstuff 3 месяца назад

If the old fun cubs were so good (and I do not doubt your claim), why were they not more popular? Cost? Availability?

@TailHeavyProductions 3 месяца назад

When they were at their peak, it was just as popular and common to see at fields as Timbers are today. There's a lot of reasons it lost popularity; price, availability, Hitec no longer being a US distributor for Multiplex, etc.

@Skyhawk731 4 месяца назад

How is the fun cub in a hover

@TailHeavyProductions 4 месяца назад

Once you get used to it, she’s locked. Being a high wing, we typically drop the flaps to help aid in getting the nose up to the hover attitude and then raise them once established. It loves to torque roll and since the ailerons are far away from the prop wash you won’t be able to fight it well. 👍

@7y1er_5pencer 4 месяца назад

So if I can't get a fun cub, what comes in second and is available?

@TailHeavyProductions 4 месяца назад

FunCub NG - we’ve got a review of it on our channel. 👍 It’s about 10oz heavier than the OG but still 15oz lighter than the Timber Evo. Still definitely noticeably slower 1G stall speed as a result.

@@TailHeavyProductionsOk, so I rewatched the funcub ng video… being a newer pilot (about 15 hours on my apprentice STS) do I jump into the funcub straight away, or do I start with the cheaper PA-18 super cub, log some good training hours on that then graduate myself to the funcub?
