Hi All - I am hoping to get a Piper J3 Cub as my next model and have almost decided to get the Graupner ARTF 72" Kit , as reviewed in the RCU Magazine reviews.
Can anyone tell me the best place to get hold of this kit in the UK or Europe (not USA) ??
If there is anyone out there who has built this kit I would like to know how you got on with it and what size engine you fitted into it ?
OR - is there a better kit out there ??
Many thanks in anticipation.
Bob.

i have one of these cubs and just maidened it this weekend .i'll have to say it flew but something is definately wrong and i suspect the engine mount is to blame it's way too flexable for the os 70 fs i put on it .i'm going to change to a gp adjustable mount off my gp cub and try again also the wheels that came with the cub were a little cheesy so i installed the 3 3/8 wheels from gp .i think that you can order that direct from graupner

welcome to the forums Bob!
If the Cub is truly a Kit then I would siggest posing this question to the builders in the KITS section of the forums here. Im sure you will get a more qualified answer as us ARF'ers here dont know much about Kit building
good luck!
