Default RE: Nitroplanes Piper Cub

I bought this same plane a while back. I put this cheap Towerpro combo in it:

and used a Rhino 1550mAh 3S pack.

I was really impressed with the build quality of the plane. It was very light and everything went together really well. It looked great when it was done.

The motor/esc/battery combo seemed to have plenty of power. Unfortunately, the plane did not make it too far. I don't know if I screwed up on setting the CG or what, but it was very hard to control and I ended up planting it nose down, destroying everything foreward of the windshield. It is fixable, but I chose to hang it in my basement for decoration.

Good luck with yours. It is really a cute little plane and it does seem very well built.
