Piper J Cub


Decided to get my hand on another
Piper J Cub which is slightly more
larger than my previous one. Since it
was still one of my all time favorite,
I decide to own it.

The kit was easy to build as it was an
ARF kit. The manufacturer of this kit
is called "Blackhorse " which is made
in Vietnam.

The packaging for the kit was presentable and was properly packed.
The whole building proces was simple and no modification was needed to be done. All you need was a motor ( 1200kv ), 4 servos and an ESC. The battery tray of the models can only accomadate a 3s 2500mAh.

Did a maiden flight at BBAFC last Sunday and it was a simple and gentle
model to fly. Needed only half throttle for take off and need a little bit of flaperon setting for landing. It was easy to spot the plane as it was yellow.



Recently I have attached a Gyro from GWS for the tail rudder as it was a little difficult for take during a cross wind. With the help of the gyro, it took off perfectly.

Been enjoying flying the Cub since then. If the weather is not good for thermalling, then the Cub will be out to take the sky.
