Hi Gang,

Help me out, just getting back into this hobby. I am interested in War Birds, but need some stick time. Can't stomach a trainer, but thing the J3 Cub would be fun to play with. I am an experienced pilot, but have been absent from the hobby for 10+ years.

Please your Cub Kit/ARF recommendations. Thanks.

Hi Wille E,

I am looking for a 40-60 size J3. 70-80" wingspan. I realized after the last post that I left myself open for the "big" birds. I would love to go 100", but just too big for transporting, etc.

Thanks,

Hotshot Charlie

Hi Polstery,

Man, that is a big cub and engine combo. I am really just getting back in the hobby, need something that I can "dumb thumb" around for awhile. I have flown pattern, pylon racers, etc in the past, but after 10+ years out of the hobby and more laid back than I used to be, a slow flying, knock around J3 sounds good. hehehehee

I will think about your recommendation for the future. Thanks.

Hey charlie check out the world models cub it is extreemly light and has a 2 piece wing with a alumium tube in the middle at only 119.00 it is a super buy . I fly mine with a saito .30 fourstroke talkin about scale performance LOL. But for you even a cheap la .40 will be great.

Hangar 9 80" Cub is really good. Great flyer with an ASP 61 four stroke.

Hi Loftyboy,

Do you have any photos of your new J3. Please share them if you do.

The Hanger 9, I hear is a great ARF. I have also heard the World Models is a good choice. I appreciate everyone's help. The biggest change in the RC industry has been the ARF's. When I was in the hobby several years ago, the ARF's pretty much "stunk". They were heavy and flew like a brick. Now it looks like they are building them like I would. Sure makes it easier to get back flying. I don't plan on using all ARF's, because I think a huge part of this hobby is building, but for a quick way to get back in the air, and the quality of the new models.... I don't see I can go wrong.

Keep the ideas and comments coming. Also, those that have built/assembled a J3, please let me here the good and bad of your experience.

Thanks !
