Description
The Original
The Piper PA-18 Super Cub is a two-seat, single-engine monoplane developed from the Piper PA-11. Over 9,000 were built during its nearly 40-year production run. Super Cubs are frequently used for bush flying, banner towing, and glider towing.
The Model
Like the full-size aircraft, the FMS PA-18 Super Cub boasts excellent short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities. The model can be airborne in less than a few meters! Thanks to its functional flaps and airfoil, the Super Cub can be flown very slowly and realistically. The oversized rubber tires allow for takeoffs and landings even on high grass strips and uneven terrain. A float set is also available as an option.
Compact Transport Size
The PA-18 has a two-piece main wing and fuselage, which significantly simplifies transport. The model fits easily into any car trunk and is ready to fly in just a few simple steps.
Includes FMS Reflex Stabilization System
This model comes with an FMS Reflex system specifically programmed for this aircraft. This electronic stabilization system is designed to assist the pilot with control inputs without interfering. The Reflex system works with both PPM and SBUS inputs and is natively compatible with all common radio control systems. When the Reflex system is connected to a 3-channel switch, three different modes can be selected:
• Stabilized Mode: When the control sticks are released, the model automatically returns to a neutral flight attitude, providing a great deal of safety, especially for beginners and inexperienced pilots, in critical situations.
• Optimized Mode: The Reflex system’s gyro system counteracts external influences such as gusts of wind or crosswinds, keeping the model precisely stable.
• Off: The Reflex system can be completely switched off.
The FMS Reflex system is specifically configured for this aircraft model. No further programming is required. The FMS Reflex system can be bound to any receiver with at least 4 channels.
