Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Hangar 9 1/4 Scale Piper J-3 Cub. This kit will provide you with a scale model of the original
Piper J-3 Cub. We believe the design is perfect for R/C and makes a beautiful model that will be easy to fly.
Few would argue that the Piper "Cub" was one of the most popular light aircraft ever produced. Mass sales and acknowledged safety
made the "Cub" almost synonymous with American light aircraft.
The Full Scale J-3 Cub is powered by a Continental, Franklin or Lycoming 65 hp engine. Top speed is approximately 87 mph and
cruise is in the area of 73 mph. The J-3 Cub service ceiling is around 12,000 feet, with an approximate range of 220 miles at cruise.
