Description
Takeoff at “3”
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 3 meters! Thanks to its functional flaps and realistic airfoil, the Super Cub can be flown very slowly and true to scale. The oversized balloon tires and sprung metal landing gear make takeoffs and landings possible even on high grass strips and uneven terrain. A float set is also available as an option.
Ready to fly in minutes
Thanks to its bolted construction, the PA-18 Super Cub is ready to fly in no time. The motor and six 17g servos are pre-installed, and all linkages are pre-installed.
Powerful propulsion
The Super Cub is powered by a 3S LiPo battery and a powerful 35mm brushless outrunner motor with 850KV. A Predator 40A ESC controls the motor. The included 2200mAh LiPo battery allows for flight times of approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
Integrated lighting
The FMS PA-18 Super Cub comes equipped with navigation lights and a landing light. Especially at dusk, the model looks just like the real thing and is a real eye-catcher.
Off to the water
To transform the PA-18 Super Cub into a true bush plane, the model can be optionally equipped with a scale-accurate and perfectly fitting float set. The model can be steered on the water and moved into the correct launch position using the rudder.
