Eflite 25 Scale J3 Cub

Completed 12/22/06 as an ARF (Almost Ready to Fly, Some assembly required)  Here is the project page.  I use it now as a camera platform due to its ability to fly smooth and handle well

But of course there have been a few mishaps as you can see here in my repair log

  • Outstanding scale detail, including the factory-painted fiberglass cowl with molded engine detail
  • Scale aileron design sets the E-flite J-3 Cub apart from other 25-size electric Cubs on the market
  • E-flite's optional 25-size floats are easy to assemble and attach to the J-3 Cub, and offer thrilling performance during water taxi and take-off
  • Built-in float mounts
  • Removable one-piece wing for fast transition to the flying field
  • Factory-painted landing gear with authentic Cub wheel caps
  • Quality balsa and light-ply construction, and genuine Ultracoat covering
  • Outrunner-ready firewall - perfect match for E-flite's Power 25 Outrunner, 870 Kv

 
This is the only 25-size Cub with scale ailerons. Quality balsa and light ply construction make for a sturdy, lightweight airframe that handles incredibly well in most any flying situation. The firewall is set up for use with an outrunner motor, such as E-flite's Power 25, making a perfect power match for the airframe. Optional floats add a new dimension to the scale flying experience, and the one-piece wing allows for easy transportation to and from virtually and flying field, pond or lake.
