Hey ken what size are we looking at also is this his first plane? the reason i ask a cub isn't a good beginers plane.

RE: PIPER CUB ARF
 

no its not is first plane had had one years ago but it was a kit plane and it was crashed and he never rebiult it and he wants one but dont want a kit i belive there a 40 size

RE: PIPER CUB ARF
 

Oh ok not sure on 40 size but the hanger 9 80 inch wing span flies like adream my soninlaw had one and he loved it. he sold it a year or two ago got out of the hobbie. i would think the 40 size fly just as nice.

No kidding guess whats on my work bench as we speak LOL!

The H-9 is a nice plane. Better scale looks over the GP, except the the GP has a fabric-like covering that looks more like the scale plane. The downside of the GP covering is that repairing damaged covering won't match anything that I know of. Both the H-9 and GP fly at my field, and their owners really like them.
If I didn't already have a 1/5 scale Cub, I'm certain that I would pick up the H-9 Cub. But that's just my preferrence of the two.

Cheers! BH
