The FMS 1700mm PA-18 Super Cub V2 PNP is a fantastic tribute to the legendary two-seat, single-engine Piper PA-18 Super Cub. Building upon the popularity of the 1400mm J-3 Cub, this 1700mm version steps up the power, wingspan, and versatility while retaining the gentle flight characteristics Cubs are known for. It comes pre-equipped with functional flaps, a high-lift airfoil, a rugged CNC metal landing gear structure, and massive 6.25-inch balloon tires, allowing it to deliver impressive Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) performance—it can take off in less than 3 meters!
This Version 2 (V2) PA-18 features an optimized, segmented fuselage design that reduces packaging size by 30%, making transportation significantly easier for pilots without sacrificing strength. FMS has integrated the latest RC hardware, including pre-installed ball-link type pushrods for increased precision and integrated servo connectors within the two-piece wing structure, meaning no glue is required for assembly. Powered by a robust 3541-750KV outrunner motor and a 45A ESC, this Super Cub provides plenty of thrust for any flying situation. For the ultimate bush-plane experience, it can even be equipped with an optional float set (sold separately).
Note: This is the PNP (Plug-and-Play) version. A transmitter, receiver, battery, and charger are required to complete the model.
