Back country airstrips, remote mountain lakes, alpine glider ports - wherever adventure requires wings, chances are the Piper Super Cub is there. Since 1949 its rugged construction, impressive payload and marvelous short-field performance have made it a mainstay for bush pilots. Even now, over half a century later, it remains the plane of choice for many who follow the road less traveled.
This beautiful, 1/4-scale Plug-N-Play® version of the Super Cub has been expertly modeled in stunning detail. Almost every line and curve mirrors the real thing, right down to the shape of the fillet where the fuselage meets the vertical stab. Every control surface, including the flaps, features a metal-gear Spektrum™ digital servo so that setup is easy. The included Evolution® 33GX gas engine is ready to bolt into place with the provided in-cowl exhaust so you get reliability that offers power to spare.
All you need to provide are the batteries, receiver and transmitter to enjoy great flight performance. Like the full-scale version, this model has functional flaps that give it amazing short-field takeoff and landing abilities. It also possesses the same easy-going flight characteristics, but will eagerly perform sport aerobatics, even when using the optional Hangar 9 floats.
The 1/4-Scale PA-18 Super Cub PNP is part of the complete line of top-quality Hangar 9® aircraft and accessories. All are engineered and crafted to exacting standards and feature the finest components and materials. Plus, every Hangar 9 product comes with the after-sale service and technical support you need to succeed.
