This delightful model from Hangar 9 recaptures the spirit of that bygone age in aviation offering the R/C pilot a large scale relaxing and easy to fly model. The Piper Cub comes with a factory-installed E-Flite Power 46 brushless outrunner the powerful yet quiet motor is designed to ease the transition from glow to electric power.
The J3 Cub is as much at ease doing slow touch and goes as it is at being used as a training aircraft and just like the full-size it handles both of these tasks with consummate ease.
Thanks to its large eighty-inch wingspan and light wing loading the Cub is capable of taking off and landing at a realistic scale speed and of course it has superb slow flight characteristics.
A lot of attention has been made in getting the Cub to look as good as it flies.
It is constructed from top quality balsa and C.N.C machined plywood parts resulting in a rugged lightweight airframe that is then covered in an authentic Piper Cub yellow colour scheme complete with registration letters using Ultracote. The scale look is further enhanced by the addition of a pre-painted fiberglass cowl complete with dummy “Lycoming” cylinder heads a one piece aluminum landing gear with dummy bungee suspension, scale Piper Cub “balloon” wheels and finally bolt on “airfoil” wings struts for extra scale realism.
A comprehensive hardware pack crystal clear windows and a fully illustrated assembly guide make getting this Cub into the air easy the two-piece wing and bolt on two-piece tail make transporting this great model to the flying field even easier.
The Hangar 9 Cub is a delight to assemble and an absolute joy to fly.
