Looking for a J-3 Cub ARF. What is the best brand to purchase. I would like for it to be 80" w.s or larger.

I have a Thunder Tiger Cub with a Thunder Tiger 54 4 Stroke. I love it. It is slightly larger than the Great Planes. I flys awesome and is priced right. Very good Construction.

No contest.......
The best is the coverite -covered Great Planes ARF.
I fly mine with an OS70 Surpass.
My friends claim it's the best flying cub they've ever seen - I agree.

I had a Kyosho J-3 Cub ARF--had a saito 72 in it--was a pleasure to fly--ground handling wasnt the best but from what I read no Cub handles well on the ground

I am in the market also. Great Planes has just released an ARF and it is big hit with the local guys I know. Has a fabric covering and runs $199 typical.

I fly the Great Planes Cub and its a real pleasure to fly. I have an OS 52 in it and its very scale like.

I also have the Great Planes ARF and think it's great. I just spent the morning fixing it. My fault not theirs.

Be aware that you have to let this thing get up it a reasonable air speed on the grond before take off. DON'T let it try to fly on the angle of incidence because it won't for more than a few feet before it tip stalls.

I have a Saito 90Ts twin it it and everybody at the field stops what they're doing and sort of watches with their mouths open.

Ken I was thinking of throwing a 90 twin in mine if I go to floats, I bet it sounds great.

I just finished a Hanger 9 Cub. Went together very well. Covering was good, needed some shrinking.

Replaced the tail wheel with a Klett.

I've got the HAngar 9 100" Cub with a Saito 150. Sweet.

While I am not a big fan of Hanger Nine's ARF's, I have the 100" Hanger Nine Cub, and it gets my vote. I am flying mine on floats with a G23 and couldn't be happier. I have two 1/4 Scale Sig Cubs from kits one clipped wing one that is not. They are great flyers also. My Hanger Nine Cub had excessive down thrust built into the firewall but some shim work made quick work of fixing that.
