Скачать или смотреть Eflite UMX J-3 Cub 3000KV Motor Upgrade with Navigation Lights Maiden Dusk Flight

This is the Maiden Flight of my Eflite UMX J-3 Cub (2S BL) that I've upgraded to the 180BL 3000KV Motor. I've also installed UMX Carbon Cub SS Navigation Lights for enhanced orientation in lower lighting conditions. (More info below...)

The Eflite 180BL 3000KV Motor is a direct fit replacement to the stock 180BL 2500KV Motor. You'll just have to switch 2 of the power wires to get the Motor spinning in the correct direction. The stock 5.75 x 2.5 "Stump Puller" Prop has been fitted on a Small Parts CNC Aluminum UMX Prop Adapter with the Prop dynamically re-balanced.

I've also installed a set of UMX Carbon Cub SS Lights on the wing. To finish the "clean install" look, I concealed the LED Wires that run on the leading edge of the UMX J-3 Cub wing with Tamiya Masking Tape which also happens to be a close "Lockhaven Yellow". I applied two layers (one perfectly on top of each other) of it over the LED wires and trimmed to fit, finishing a very clean look.

Fuselage pieces were then re-connected using the "Tape-Tab" Method, using smaller pieces of Tape Tabs on the existing stock tape that was applied from factory, minimizing tape overlap and retaining the "clean" look.

The Eflite 3000 KV Motor performed excellently upping the Thrust and Speed considerably when mated with the stock 5.75 x 2.5 “Stump Puller” Prop. While the UMX J-3 Cub battled the wind and on occasion was knocked around mid-flight, still held reliable authority, cutting through the wind and had no issues maneuvering for some un-Cub-like aerobatics. It was also impressive to hear the UMX Pitts-like growl of the 3000 KV / Stump Puller Prop combo resonating from a UMX J-3 Cub.

The UMX Carbon Cub SS Navigation Lights provided constant orientation cues in the lower lighting and allowed me to perform aerobatics with no issues. The lighting also added an additional level of detail to the UMX J-3 Cub while airborne.

This is the quintessential classic "adventurer's plane."
