Skill Level 3 – Experience Required
Skill Level 3 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for more experienced RC pilots who already have the skills to assemble, set up and fly similar class models. This ARF version requires more experience and skills to assemble than the PNP version because you will need to select and install a suitable power system and electronics. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly models like the E-flite Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m, Turbo Timber SWS 2.0m, Carbon-Z Cessna 150T 2.1m, Carbon-Z Cub SS 2.1m, or other similar class models before attempting to fly the J-3 Cub 10cc.
Wood Airframe
The balsa and lite-ply airframe is lightweight yet stiff and strong. Best of all it arrives mostly factory-assembled and finished in genuine UltraCote film covering. The PNP version also includes durable, factory-installed metal-geared and digital Spektrum A6380 servos. And in the unfortunate event you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them, a full line of replacement/spare parts is readily available.
Almost-Ready-To-Fly Flexibility
This Almost-Ready-To-Fly (ARF) version arrives mostly factory-assembled and ready for you to install a .62 4-stroke glow, 11cc 4-stroke gas, and other similar class engines or an equivalent electric power system and the electronics you prefer.
Easy Assembly
The PNP version J-3 Cub 10cc arrives with a factory-installed power system and servos, and no glue is required for final assembly so it can be ready to fly within a few hours. The ARF version is mostly factory-assembled and is ready to fly after typical final assembly, power system, and electronics installation.
Scale Features
A large top hatch with windshield, transparent windows, plus seats and a pilot bust add to the scale looks along with wing struts, tail bracing wires, and other details.
Gear Options
Scale-like landing gear with fabric bungee covers and standard wheels with Cub hubcaps are included. You can also install the optional DU-BRO Treaded Lightweight Cub Wheels or the optional wheel pants when flying from paved and other smooth surfaces. Or you can install the optional silver-painted float (sold separately) and custom strut (sold separately) sets to fly at large ponds and lakes.
Wing Options
Optional “clipped” wings (sold separately) with a shorter 68.5” span are available to offer different handling and improved aerobatic capabilities. You also have the option to apply black “starburst” decals (sold separately) to the wings and tails.
