Default Recommend a "big" supercub.

I have a 110" Super Cub kit in the box that I just don't have the time to build. I have a new Saito 180 ready for use. I'm changing my direction and considering an ARF or even better a RTC Super Cub as I'm going to cover it to resemble a full scale Super Cub that we have at work.

Suggestions please. Thanks,,,

Man, for all you fellas that want to build biger, bigger. Here's one for you that you can put your butt into and scare yourself silly on a Sunday afternoon - like an R/C friend of mine is doing.

110" wingspan? That's NOT a "big" Cub....

Here's the biggest one I'm aware of and it's a J-3, but you're Saito isn't gonna cut it for power.

He's got an even bigger one in the works, but I don't think it'll be a Super either.

Do a search on the World Models 1/3 Super Cub. I have one and its a very nice ARF and flies great. Put mine together in three evenings. Everything is pre-hinged, minimal amount of effort to put it together.

Nice, but it must be a Super Cub, not a J3.

What company kitted your Super Cub? Depending on who made it, I might be interested in buying it.

I still have a 100" Hanger 9 Super Cub ARF .... NIB. Plan to put it together as time permits and when interest returns. Have been flying the J-3 version for years. Excellent match for the Saito 180.
