Piper J3 Cub V3 1400mm with wheels and floats ARF FMS

Product detailed description

The Piper J3 Cub is a 1400mm wingspan school and advanced training engine model made of durable EPO (extruded polyolefin) foam for both land and water flying. The classic cabin high-wing with struts offers an attractive appearance with a glass cockpit, a pilot figure and a mock-up suspension landing gear. Large dimensions, pleasant flight characteristics make it an ideal recreational model for anyone who has already mastered piloting school models, such as Pioneer, Beta 1400, Alpha 1500...

The model's EPO foam fuselage comes with a C3536-850 rotary-shroud AC motor mounted, with a 40A AC regulator fitted, and rudder and elevator servos. In the front lower part of the hull there is a space for accumulators easily accessible thanks to the removal cover. For the Piper, you will need Li-Pol three-cell 2200 mAh with a load capacity of 25C.

Tail surfaces are made of EPO, fixed with screws. The rudder and elevator servos are located on the sides in the tail section of the fuselage.

The wing, also made of EPO foam with a modified Clark-Y profile, is two-part, connected by a carbon joint. Both halves are attached to the hull with screws. The ailerons are controlled by servos mounted in the wing with short straight wire rods. Before connecting the tie rods, it is recommended to "move" the rudders by repeated careful deflection up and down or left and right.

The two-wheel chassis is wire, with plastic model accessories.

The floats are EPO foam with wire struts. A servo is located in the left float, which controls the water rudder.

Ailerons, rudder (water rudder), elevator and engine speed are controlled.

To control the model, you will need at least a 4-channel, but preferably at least a 5-channel RC kit, which allows independent control and adjustment of the aileron servos.

The ARF set includes: a finished model with an AC motor, a two-bladed propeller, a speed controller and 5 servos, a set of wheel chassis, a set of floats with struts, a set of small accessories and instructions.

Necessary additional purchase: min. 4-channel RC set, drive battery, charger.
