Keep finding this on cub threads

I don't have a cub so i'm probably wrong as usual but i thought it was something to do with rise off ground or rolling off ground,hope this helps mate

I dont know ether

[Jimmyboy]

I think startazz is right

Ah, ok. So its a ground take off rather than a hand launch I guess.

Would like Lioncub to be able to do ground take offs but our park isnt quite flat enough for it. Tried a couple of times and it just noses over

The cricket bit would be perfect so they put a fence around it when not in use

Thatll be the first target for Cubs bombs

I find that if the ground is a bit uneven I give it some throttle to get it moving then some up elevator to keep the tail down, full throttle......lift off and ease off the elevator for a nice climb.
The uneven ground is only a problem at slow speed where the wheels tend to get stuck in little holes on the grass.

Might be a bit much for her to take in at this stage. Might give it a go myself though so she can see what it can do.

My mate had the same problem Gremlin all he did was put bigger wheels on the cub and it worked a treat,worth a shot mate as it shouldn't break the bank and well woth it if it works

[mpfive]

Just as startazz has said,roll off ground.Bigger wheels are good.I put 3inch wheels on mine.It's still tricky to take off with,but makes landing alot smoother.Echo over

[pdubya75]

Bigger wheels is the key, best £3 I ever spent on mine

Rolls better on slightly longer grass.

I have put larger wheels on the cub but theyre not 3 inches. Probably about half the size again of the originals. Im sure we'll get some r.o.g's done soon

[Jimmyboy]

ROG on Gremlin !!! lol

Hey Gremlin,
I used to take of from the astroturf cricket pitch. great for take offs, after a bit of practice I could land on the same strip too. then some guys started playing cricket on it

I also put bigger wheels on my cub, looked a little oversized in flight but was dam glad I had them when landing on slightly longer grass. with the old wheels just kept doing a nose over on take off and landing.
