We've taken Craycle models to the next level with this huge update! Here is the Next Generation Craycle Model, CraycleCub V2!
Important Features of V2 (05.05.2024)
FPV Hatch system is over! Meet the new Craycle VTX Mount and positionable FPV Cam Mount, which now makes it possible to mount any FPV system! You can mount any FPV System on the market to the new Hatch system. Same for all models!
The Servo Hatch has become independent and you can now also press and screw mount it. Same for all models!
Model pieces now fit together! We use as few Pins as possible and all model parts, including the wing, are Inserts.
We are back to Craycle-style wing internal structure design on all models! By optimizing the inside wing columns, we eliminated printing errors on the wing surfaces while making the wings lighter. Since the wings are interlocked in the form of an insert, they are now more durable, lighter, and have a perfect surface!
Craycle models are lighter than ever! Although the printing weights did not change, we moved components such as the Servo and CF Rod to the front and lightened the rear parts of the models. Thus, it is possible to adjust the CG using smaller batteries. Thus, the average flight weight of all models was reduced by an average of 100 grams.
We removed unnecessary carbon rods and shortened the CF rods on Orca, Crow, and Ranger.
We have improved the hinge slots, now the hinge works smoother and is easier to install.
We added R and L labels to wings and similar parts. Thus, it will be difficult for you to mix right and left in Vertical Stablizator, Vtails, and Wings.
Flight tests of all models have been carried out many times, we will share these images with you soon. With your support, we would like to provide you with FPV images for all models. We worked hard on this huge update. I would like to thank all our teammates and partners for their support during the development process.
Craycle Planes are now better than ever!
What is CraycleCub?
If you are looking for a Beginner-friendly Real-scale Pa-18 Piper Cub FPV version that can fly for a long time in the air you might want to check out the CraycleCub 800 mm FPV Trainer Plane.
The CraycleCub is based on the classic PA-18 Piper Cub design but with FPV compatibility. It has a durable Regular PLA construction, a strong fuselage for powerful brushless motors, a 3D Printed propeller spinner, a quick-release landing gear, and a steerable tail wheel. You can print this model with LW-PLA to make a park flyer.
CraycleCub provides nice VTX cooling for any FPV system in the market. Also like a real Pa-18 Piper Cub, it has extra motor cooling vents into the side of the fuselage. The wingspan is 800 mm, which makes it easy to transport and store.
The CraycleCub is suitable for beginners who want to learn how to fly FPV, as well as intermediate and advanced pilots who want to have some fun in the air. You can experience the thrill of flying from the cockpit of a plane. It is easy to set up, easy to fly, and easy to enjoy.
For Who?
You don’t need any carbon rod to build this plane and CraycleCub flies super stable and slow even if it's printed with Regular PLA. If you are an FPV Pilot, a Beginner, or a Piper Cub lover, then this model is for you.
