Every modeler needs a model of the venerable Piper J-3 Cub - especially every radio control modeler. It's probably the most universally recognized airplane ever produced. The ubiquitous Cub can be found at almost every airfield in the United States, and at many foreign airports as well. Anyone who has ever flown a tail dragger has at one time or another flown a Cub, and many of today's senior pilots learn to fly in the J-3.
Once an R/C flier gets the hang of steering the Cub down a paved runway (grass runways are not a problem), and remembers that he will usually need a little rudder when he initiates a turn, the Cub will become one of his favorite lazy Sunday afternoon airplanes.
Willhobby has made it pretty easy to own a high quality, nicely finished, reasonably sturdy, good flying, moderate sized J-3 Cub. At 81" wingspan, it is just large enough to be IMAA legal and still small enough to fit in the family wagon, van, SUV, or pickup. There are a lot of suitable engines to power the plane, reasonably priced, and fuel thrifty. It's close enough to scale to satisfy most folks. And remember, all this is ARF!
