Rc Planes for Adults Remote Control Airplane 1300MM (52") Piper PA-18 Super CUB with Reflex V3 6 Channel Hobby Rc Airplanes for Beginners PNP

great plane flies greet

Its a foamy. Its not going to survive every crash but its good flys well and decent price on sale. Its easy to assemble though the wiring can be a bit tricky but a hook bent paper clip will save you a lot of time fishing wires.

Plane Flies exactly as a Cub should. On board Gyro does a great job keeping the plane controllable in the wind (if you so desire :D) and the "safe" mode does a great job keeping the plane very tame in flight....I personally feel too disconnected in that mode.... feels like EXP is on 90% to me. Getting 5 mins of spirited flight time on 3s 2200 packs with 3.7-8 volts per cell. Love the pneumatic tires + the spring struts + Flaps (but honestly not needed but cool to have anyway!), awesome for grass operations! Love the Lights as well.... Oh and if you have a 7+ channel RX/TX you get Reverse Throttle! Way cool....so far, I've only used the reverse for taxi ops. Assembly was easy.... EXCEPT for the fuselage assembly. The two screws that are required to bolt the two halves together, the hole do not line up well and while it causes a snug fit (good thing) it is a pain to get these holes and bolts in...so take your time and apply some pressure to get them to line up. Overall, I highly recommend this plane for Intermediate and Seasoned pilots looking for a Cub STAL type plane, not a beginner plane IMO.

I made the mistake of over-paying by almost $70 because I didn't bother to shop around and buy direct from FMS. FMS will not provide support unless you purchase direct from them, as well. Arrived with incomplete parts, FMS will not provide support. I was able to make it work but it's a bit disappointing. Plane itself is pretty cool. Durability claims of being "indestructible" are HIGHLY blown out of proportion - I assure you it is indeed quite destructible :)

Good plane nice size and build quality for t he money flies really smooth and agile,.

Cheaply produced. More parts needed which doubled our cost; even then, it NEVER flew! My grandson was soo disappointed! We threw it out.

Regarding the comment about the motors being installed slightly canted to the right. If these motors rotate CW (when viewed from the cockpit-conventional direction) the torque of the motor would induce a left yaw on the aircraft. To counter that (these motors have lots of torque) either a right rudder input, or "canting the motor to the right", (changes the thrust vector) as in the photo, would, and do work. Just a theory. This may not be a manufacturing flaw at all.

Great stol plane.
