This great almost ready to fly large-scale Piper PA-18 Super Cub has an
enormous one hundred and six -inch wingspan (269cm) and a host of scale
features and details that enhance the overall scale look of the model.
A great deal of attention to scale fidelity and scale features ensures
that the Cub not only looks great, but that it flies great as well! Its
lightweight rugged airframe is constructed entirely from top quality
balsa and laser-cut plywood parts resulting in an accurate rugged
airframe that is then finished in a typical PA-18 scale colour scheme
using Ultracote and the scale look is further enhanced by the addition
of a pre-painted fibreglass cowl with moulded panel lines, fully
functioning landing gear with bungee suspension, scale Piper Cub
“balloon” wheels and quick fit airfoil shaped folding aluminum wing
struts for ease of assembly and transport. Of particular note is the
attention to detail that replicates the tubular construction of the
full-size at the top/rear of the fuselage and also the scale fin to
fuselage fillet detail as these are areas that often look wrong on many
large Cub models.
Thanks to its generous wingspan and light wing loading the model has
superb slow speed flight characteristics and is capable of taking off
and landing at realistic scale speeds with the fully functional landing
gear soaking up any bumps.
A comprehensive hardware pack, crystal clear windows and fully
illustrated assembly guide make getting this Cub into the air easy, and
the two-piece wing with easy-fit fold flat wing struts and bolt on
two-piece tail make transporting this large model to the flying field
even easier.
