FMS Piper J3 Cub 

This was the first plane I have ever flown and first crash. My J3 Cub looks much worse missing parts, tape on the wings. Fast build but not so easy to take off. I ended up just hand launching it. In the air, it soars and I can do flips and rolls with ease. The battery life on this plane is decent. The newer J3 Cubs have been upgraded to improve performance.

Piper J3 Cub Flight 

History:

One of the most famous high wing, light-sport aircraft ever to be built, the Piper J3 cub is a historical icon. Built between 1937 and 1947 by Piper Aircraft, the original plane was designed to be a tandem seat trainer, but the plane was so easy to fly, it became one of the most popular planes for general civil aviation. This FMS 55" (1400mm) wing span version of the classic plane is every bit as detailed as the original. And it flys just like the real plane - smooth, stable and responsive. The J3 Cub is a perfect "2nd Model" after you have completed practice with a beginner level aircraft. If you have only flown "belly landers" in the past, the Piper Cub is also a great plane to practice take-offs and landings with its tail dragger design and large rubber tires. Enjoy this piece of aviation history, now in a 1400mm large scale size.
