J-3 Cub 10cc ARF, 82.5

J-3 Cub 10cc ARF, 82.5" Overview

With nearly 20,000 produced between 1938 and 1947, plus more than 5,000 still registered and flying today, the J-3 Cub remains one of the most influential and popular aircraft ever produced by Piper. It was originally designed to be a lightweight trainer that also led to clipped wing, Super, and Carbon Cub variants. The Hangar 9® J-3 Cub 10cc is a 1/5th scale replica of the original that offers a classic look and flying experience you can't get with other more modern Cub models. It features the advantages of lightweight, stiff, and strong wood construction that's covered with genuine UltraCote® film. Plus, it's available in an ARF version that allows you to install the glow, gas, or electric power system and electronics you prefer, or in a time and money-saving PNP version that's equipped with four factory-installed servos, a 4S to 6S compatible Spektrum™ Avian™ motor and a Smart ESC.

The Hangar 9® J-3 Cub 10cc is an 82.5” (2.1m) span giant-scale replica of the aviation icon. It's designed to deliver the original's classic look and flying experience with modern-day features and conveniences, including a 2-piece wing and slots to hold the wing tube in the fuselage during storage and transport. The ARF version arrives mostly factory assembled and allows 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. The PNP version doesn't require any glue for assembly. It is equipped with four factory-installed digital and metal-geared Spektrum A6380 servos, a 4S to 6S compatible Avian 4260-480Kv outrunner motor, and a 70-amp Smart Lite ESC that can provide a variety of power system-related telemetry data with Smart and non-Smart batteries via compatible receivers and Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters.

Both versions include scale-like landing gear with standard wheels and Cub hubcaps. You also have the option to install wheel pants or floats using the custom float strut set (all sold separately). The balsa and lite-ply airframe arrives factory-finished with genuine UltraCote® film covering and features a variety of scale details, including clear windows, wing struts, tall bracing wires, and more. And it all combines to deliver a classic Cub experience that's perfect for a wide range of intermediate to experienced pilots!
