VA-Model Piper J-3 Cub V2 59"

The VA-Model Piper J-3 Cub V2 combines classic Cub styling with durable EPP construction and excellent all-around flight characteristics. Its large 59" wingspan provides smooth, stable handling while oversized control surfaces give the Piper plenty of authority for sport flying and aerobatics. The updated V2 features a new bottom battery hatch for easier battery changes, revised fuselage and landing gear construction, and updated wings for quicker servo and control horn installation. Lightweight, durable, and easy to transport with removable wings, the Piper is equally enjoyable for relaxed cruising, touch-and-goes, or more aggressive sport flying.
