PIPER CUB _
CODE SEA 87
INTRODUCTION.
Thank you for choosing the PIPER CUB ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS. The PIPER CUB was
designed with the intermediate/advanced sport scale in mind. It is a semi scale airplane which is
easy to fly and quick to assemble. The airframe is conventionally built using balsa, plywood to make
it stronger than the average ARTF , yet the design allows the aeroplane to be kept light. You will find
that most of the work has been done for you already. The motor mount has been fitted and the hinges
are pre-installed . Flying the PIPER CUB is simply a joy.
This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read this
manual thoroughly before starting assembly of your PIPER CUB. Use the parts listing below to
identify all parts.
WARNING.

is capable of causing injury to people or property. WHEN YOU FLY THIS AEROPLANE YOU
