So Red and I have been building this at work for the last year and a half…Of course its one of many projects we have going on so its not an everyday all day process but a lot of time and work none the less. JJ you should like it…its a big ass Cub with a Big ass motor on the front. Its a 60% scale super cub with a SPT-15 Turbo prop engine…and yes its an actual jet engine that runs on Jet-A 😎 its still in the final stages of assembly but the plan is for maiden flight mid November. We had our first run-up of the engine yesterday….FUCKIN AWESOME! I got a short video…I need to figure out how to post it. Anyway…here are a couple pics of the “MicroCub” as we’ve nicknamed it.
That cub is Freaking awesome! I took my son to a local RC Airstrip and he loved it. They are a lot of fun to watch!
That’s freaking cool shit. Ya let’s see that video
That cub is sick. You should build a full size turbo cub
Is that the “Hempel” 1/2 scale cub?
I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.
THAT IS UNFUCKIN REAL…. WOW……. Now I will have RC on my brain all day….. I am trying sooo hard to stay away from the hobby shop….. I’m scared my productivity is going to suffer around the dirty shop…. 😳 😳 😳 😳
Justin.. wow… I am tempted to drive out and witness this maiden voyage!!!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀
Never make someone a priority, that makes You and Option. 🤔🤔🤔🥲
That looks like a kid could fucking ride in it… 😉

Its a Hempel 60% cub with a bunch of mods. We ordered it in our scheme to match the rest of the aircraft in our fleet. It initially had a standard motorbox for a normal 2 stroke motor but we cut that off and had the design dept come up with a tubular mount for the turbo prop.

yeah its pretty damn big…we had one of the engineers bring his baby in and we set her in the cockpit area for a pic, it was pretty funny.
here is the video of the initial run. just idling…the video makes it look like the prop is barely moving but its about 500-600 rpm.
Pretty “badass”! Going to fly good.

I’m pretty sure this RC thread broke my internet yesterday! 😉 😉 😉 Good job Justin! There is a commonality between vw’s and rc’s and guys who wear Vans…. 😉
