Introduction - Hangar 9 J-3 Piper Cub Assembly Manual

Introduction

Throughout aviation history, select few aircraft have achieved
such a level of popularity that they transcend their eras. Such is
the case of the J-3 Piper Cub. This timeless classic is perhaps
even more famous today than when it was first introduced to the
army (then known as an L-4) in the late '30s. 4 out of 5 pilots in
the Second World War are claimed to have gotten their initial
flight training behind the stick of the Cub.
Hangar 9's J-3 Piper Cub offers traditional scale appearance in
an IMAA-legal size that can be powered with any standard
.40-.46 size 2-cycle engine. Or, for enhanced scale realism,
a .45-.55 4-cycle engine can be used to power this Cub.
Hangar 9's J-3 Piper Cub comes 90% pre-built to a high level of
craftsmanship and is pre-covered and trimmed in Ultra covering.
This means you can have a large (80-1/8" span), high quality
scale J-3 Piper Cub, showing it to your friends at the field in 20
hours or less. Best of all, they'll never know it's an ARF, and
chances are they'll compliment you on your building and
finishing skill. Don't worry . . . we won't tell!
Warning
An R/C aircraft is not a toy! If misused, it can cause serious
bodily harm and damage to property. Fly only in open areas,
preferably AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) approved flying
sites, following all instructions included with your radio and
engine.
