Chung,

No, the Exceed is a different plane altogether. for one it is a 3ch not 4ch. It is also brushed powered,
and it is not as bad as the Flyzone Cub from what I hear, but you still get what you pay for and atleast
you cut the price in half. Don't worry about the name "Piper J-3 Cub", that's the actual plane that the
models are based on. Not all Piper Cub models are bad, there's lots of the that are quite nice, but most
of the nice ones are ARFs or kits. Just avoid anything from Flyzone! The exceed is ok, but for a little
more $ you can get a better plane, the new Mini Supercub is $119 and $ 159 for the full sized Supercub,
both from HobbyZone and both are RTF. I've been flying for a year, I have an Electristar, Alpha 40
Glow, and the crappy Flyzone J-3 Cub and I'm buying a SuperCub in the spring so I'll have a nice,
relaxing park flyer to fly whenever and wherever!
