Definitely get a more powerful one for this application. antihero138: Yes, that ESC is junk. Definitely get a more powerful one for this application.

I am also thinking about changing the insides of Super Cub so that I can use it on 2,4 GHz. The reason is that I really like the plane, but I have issues with the supplied 27 MHz RC - seems it performs poorly and that the plane therefore looses signal, causing the throttle to die for few moments and plane loosing altitude and sometimes also control. Anyway, finally the question. :) If you do this upgrade, are you still able to use X-port? Thank you very much. Michal Hi, just wanted to ask.

Don't expect it to work very well though. I never got it to work all that well. Good luck! The cable is a 1/8″ stereo headphone cable, male on both ends. Don’t expect it to work very well though.

I am another proud SC owner. Recently I purchased Spektrum DX6i. I have a question: what cable should I use to connect my transmiter to my computer in order to practice on FMS? Where did you get your cable from? I know that different Tx's have propriatary plugs and I am not sure what type is the plug on my Spektrum. Do you plan to anstall ailerons in the future? Thanks :) Dear Dave,

An 8-cell nimh battery, for example, will provide more amps than a 7-cell, which I learned the hard way. If you're looking to upgrade the ESC, get a 15-amp ESC to be safe. --Dave I think it’s about 10-12 amps, but it depends on your battery.
