PIPER J3 Cub V4 1400mm ARF

The Piper J-3 Cub was the sporting aviation industry for Ford T. Of course, there is a fundamental difference here: Mr. Ford said, "Ford T can be in any color if it's black," while the motto Mr. Pipera was: "You can have Piper Cub in any color if it's yellow." From 1937 to the US entry into the war, over 3000 J-3s were produced, with the arrival of military orders for which yellow was required to be replaced by olive, the production rate increased to one L-4 Grasshoper every 20 minutes . And hundreds of them still fly ...

Our new Pipera - for a change in elegant red and white color - you will surely not miss out on the almost indestructible foam EPO in the sky thanks to the 1400 mm range, but you will surely enjoy the close look. We have a glassed cabin (including a "sunroof") with a dashboard and a concentric-looking pilot dummy, a sophisticated suspension chassis and a wing with characteristic struts. And in addition to the wheelchair in the kit you will find a set of floats! Big size, attractive looks, mock detail, pleasant flight characteristics - just an ideal recreational model for anyone who has already managed to pilot school-based models such as Pioneer, Beta 1400, Alpha 1500 ...

The fuselage EPO model fuselage comes with an alternating C3536-850 rotary crankshaft motor fitted with a 40A AC controller and rudder and elevator servos. In the lower part of the fuselage, there is space for batteries easily accessible thanks to the removable plastic cover. For Pipera, you will need a 2200 mAh Lipo TriClean with a 25C capacity. The plastic motor cover is detachable, secured with screws on the sides.

The tailgate of the EPO is fastened to the fuselage by means of screws. The rudder and elevators are stored on the sides of the tail of the torso" / p>

The wing is also made of foamed EPO with modified Clark-Y profile, two-part, coupled by a tubular carbon clutch. To the hull, both halves are fastened at the front and at the rear with 2 screws. Ailerons are controlled by two servos mounted in the wing with short straight wire rods. Prior to attaching the rods, we recommend that the rudders "move" repeatedly with cautious upward and downward deflection, respectively. left and right.

Two-wheeled chassis with controlled spur is wired, with plastic mock cover accessories. Ailerons, rudder (coupled spur), elevator, and engine speed are controlled.

Floats are made of foam EPO with wire struts; The left float is equipped with a water helm that controls the special servo mounted inside. When taxiing, taking off and landing on the water, you really appreciate it!

To control the model, you need at least a four-channel, but rather at least a five-channel, RC set that allows independent control and adjustment of aileron servos. In this case, you can set a differentiation of aileron deflections; we recommend 10-20% for the beginning - ie, the aileron deflection is slightly smaller compared to the upward displacement. This will make it easier to control the model, which will have a lesser tendency to spin off the turn. A similar effect can be achieved by using aileron-rudder mix, you can combine both - with the aileron-rudder mix you "grab" the initial gradient, the differentiation improves your own curve crossing.

Piper Cub is designed for mildly advanced modellers. The model, as a semi-cluster of the sporty "box-like" high wing, introduces you to some of the features that are typical of similar machines - you will be required to properly coordinate the model with a rudder, aileron and elevator. This experience "as you find" at the latest after you start flying with your first acrobatic model or (semi) machete of any kind." Nice to get used to the fact that they are not used to decorate the transmitters, but to use them in the right way and at the right moment. It's cruel to us, but you'll be grateful later. Its domain is, of course, a quiet flyover, which will give you and your colleagues enough time to enjoy the legendary "piperovian" shapes, but after a small "start", it reliably manages the looping, twisting turns and curve. Just a sporty mountain hovercraft, how it should be!
