The PIPER J-3 CUB with its 2.31 metre wingspan is a real jewel for all scale and semi-scale fans.
The ARF kit comes with pre covered traditional built up wooden wings and fuselage, and is finished to a very high standard with incredible attention to detail. The sprung scale undercarriage and opening doors lend the model a real presence both on the ground and in the air.
The ideal power for this model is a 160 glow plug engine which with its 26 ccm will have plenty of power whilst giving the model a real "Piper" look by protruding out of the cowl. The model will happily fly on any engine of 15 ccm or bigger and makes an excellent tug for aero towing.
A classic model which belongs on every flying field.
