J-3 Cub 1620mm (63.7") Wingspan - ARF from Nexa - NXA1005-002
The Piper J-3 Cub is a small, simple, light aircraft that was built between 1937 and 1947 by Piper Aircraft. With tandem (fore and aft) seating, it was intended for flight training but became one of the most popular and best-known light aircraft of all time. The Cub's simplicity, affordability and popularity—as well as its large production numbers, with nearly 20,000 built in the United States—invokes comparisons to the Ford Model T automobile.
This ARF requires assembly and installation of your choice of servos and power system, and includes two piece wing with aluminum wing joiner, fiberglass cowl and operational pilot door. A large battery tray provides ample space for any size battery you require.
