ElectriCub II Kit

This is a Piper J-3 ElectriCub Radio Controlled Electric Airplane.
This kit is designed for the beginner to intermediate electric flier.
The stable flight characteristics of the J-3 ElectriCub lets you make a quick
transition to electric power.

The advantages of the ElectriCub II over the deluxe version are:
FEATURES: -Improved design with new CAD engineering provides easy- perfectly
interlocking construction for a quick building- light weight- yet
strong airframe assembly.
-In addition to rudder control- this model also includes ailerons.
Now adventurous pilots can easily perform basic aerobatic maneuvers
and coordinated turns.
-Motor mount accepts direct drive or gear drive motors. The motor is
not included- but this allows the modeler to choose from a variety
of options such as direct drive- gear drive or gear drive with
Electronic Speed Control- all offered from Great Planes.
-Semi-scale details include clear- precision-formed cabin windows
-Access the 7-cell NiCd battery easily from the compartment on the
underside of the fuselage.  No disassembly or wing removal is
required. Simply pop out the pack- recharge and get right back in
the air.
-Bolt-on wing mounting lets you quickly and easily remove the wing
for travel- then reattach it securely in no time at the flying
field.
Replica engine cylinder heads- authentic Cub markings and a
one-piece ABS cowling are all included.
The Piper J-3 ElectriCub's flat-bottom wing has just enough dihedral
for comforting low-speed stability.
