HK 1400mm Piper J-3 Cub - REVIEW

A Hobbyking sponsored segment.

In this first episode of this new season we bring to you the review of the Piper J-3 Cub by hobbyking!

This great bird has a great image and presence in the air. Let's see the specs:

Wingspan:1400mm
Length: 950mm
Flying Weight: 1800g
Wing Loading: 56g/dm2
Motor: 36-48 700kv Brushless Outrunner
ESC: 45A w/BEC
Prop: 12x9
Servo: 9g x 4

You require your Own 4 Channel TX/RX and your 2200mAh 4s Lipoly Battery. 

Plug N Fly of course means quick assembly and almost every component is attached by screws, including the 2 wing halves, even the tailplane can be removed for transportation if desired. All servos are pre-installed as is the ESC & powerful Brushless Motor. This model is ideal for RC pilots of all ability and it is not often that a geniuine scale model can be flown by relative beginners. The scale detail is quite amazing, plastic injection moulded parts are used extensively and include the dummy engine, wing struts and and the dummy bungee under-carriage.

So this model is very friendly when it comes to flying. It is almost like a trainer but PLEASE don't think this is the perfect beginner plane because a model J3 is not the same as in real life. It has nice stall caracteristics but it's easy to get into a wingtip stall.

TIPS: just one...I broke my first prop and I didn't find a new one on the same size as the stock one. So I bought a 12x6 propeller and let me tell you, it flies more realistic than ever just because it is a bit slower and it's easier to land.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

The P.A.S. is the "solidary action programm" of Mateo's international school programm. The P.A.S. is an intensiv 2 years program were you go to different fundations and schools to get young children to learn new things...normaly, those kids don't have their parents or they were never listened, so they wait us almost everyday  to get them new things to do. 

Mateo thought that it would be a great idea to continue with the FliteTest mission statement wich is "entertain, educate and elevate the world of flight". So he is getting some contact with Chad Kapper and Josh Bixler so that they can help him! 

AND YOU CAN HELP US TOO! If you want to donate something for the kids, please sent us an e-mail to yourhobbychannel@gmail.com ... this is only a voluntary thing! You don't have to do it if you don't want to but Mateo wants just to talk to this guys about the principles of flight, build some FT Speedbuild kits and then get to fly them...so please...THE CHILDREN NEED YOU! We are going to use everything you give us..but this is for FREE and it's something you have to do with pleassure. We can do this world just a bit better together...
