The Piper J-3 Cub is an American light aircraft that was built between 1938 and 1947 by Piper Aircraft. The aircraft has a simple, lightweight design which gives it good low-speed handling properties and short-field performance. 230 dual-controlled versions were built for the United States Navy with a NE-1 designation.
The Nexa NE-1 Cub can be built as either gas or electric powered, with a large door for battery access. Being lightweight with a high wing, this plane has a similar flying feel to a high wing trainer. Fully covered in weathered detail and including a working pilot door, this NE-1 Cub is perfect for those who love scale planes.
