With its stunning scale finish, you could mistake this model for a desktop display. But this PIPER J3 Cub brings the dream of airplane flight to reality in spectacular style. With lightweight design technology developed in the micro-sized MINIUM series, this airplane features the KS-21 servo weighing only 5g for rudder and elevator control. Without a gear reduction unit, the newly developed 29mm high-performance brushless motor and special ESC (electronic speed controller) deliver the smooth thrust directly to the propeller for energetic flight performance. In addition, the main wing design uses its lightweight construction and light wing load for optimal lift to produce excellent slow flight control, enabling flight times of up to 12 minutes long, one of the longest available from a small electric airplane. Switch over to dynamic high speed flight and this Cub can also fly stunts such as loops, rolls and inverted flight. Also, with the durability of brushless motor technology, this model maintains its high levels of flight performance over the long term. Almost fully pre-assembled, this pre-painted model includes the KT-21 transmitter operating on the 2.4GHz DSSS system that automatically scans open frequencies. Only LiPo battery, charger and batteries for the transmitter are required to get airborne. With the user-friendly package and impressive scale form of the aiRium series, realistic and dynamic flight performance is yours to enjoy.
Features:
- Easy To Get Into The Air - Almost fully pre-assembled and with finished color scheme. No difficult steps required for completion.
- Lightweight Radio Gear - Pre-installed with KS-21 servo weighing just 5g for rudder and elevator control.
- Lightweight Fuselage - Hard surface of the lightweight styrene fuselage design realizes the Cubs dynamic flight performance.
- Easy Access Battery - Hatch under the fuselage provides easy access for battery changes.
- Scale Appearance with Easy Operation - O-ring hook provides secure main wing attachment without compromising the models scale appearance in the air.
- Brushless Powered - 29mm Air Factory 400BLS B/07/15 brushless motor and Sky Victory BLS10 ESC produce plenty of power for takeoffs when taxiing.
- Scale J-3 Cub Detailed - Detailed form of the Piper J-3 Cub is accuretely reproduced and even includes parts that replicate the horizontal engine, also makes an impressive display model.Recreates the scale form of the original with main wing struts and covering material. Achieves both realistic appearance and dynamic flight performance.
- Sky Victory Brushless Motor & ESC - The newly developed AF400 BLS B/07/15 brushless motor delivers flight performance way beyond its size, despite its diameter of 29mm. The maximum flight performance from the motor is extracted with the specially developed Sky Victory BLS10 ESC (electronic speed controller). The smooth power characteristics of the direct drive and the reliability of the brushless motor promises high power over extended periods and brings the next generation in EP scale airplane flight performance within easier reach.
- A Few Items Are Needed - An aiRium series Readyset includes a factory assembled aircraft and transmitter and only requires LiPo battery for the fuselage, battery charger and batteries for transmitter. LiPo batteries of a suitable size that are sold in the general market can be used. Different batteries can also be used to produce different flight characteristics.

This is a fantastic airplane for a 3 channel (and for the money). It's scale appearance is spot on with a high gloss film over the foam. Mine has a very pronounced dihedral making it very stable. The brushless motor gives it power plus... and then some!
I made a BIG mistake on my first flight, I changed the elevator setting from where it was set from the factory. I raised the elevator by one and a half revolutions of the clevis at the end of the pushrod. Don't Do this!!! On take off it looped the second it got airborne. Even though I cut the power at the top, it still got scuffed up a wing tip and the landing gear bent a little. I put the clevis back to where it was from the factory, bent the landing back straight and took off again. It lifted smoothly into the air like it should have... had I not monkied with it.
I had built a Tech One "Paiget" flat out 3D foamie with a brushless motor so I wasn't prepared for the speed of this J3. The Paiget has airbrakes on the ailerons and is mainly for squirreling around in the sky but this J3 cuts through the air with "great vigor". Loops can be huge to small, whichever you want at the time.
The tx has a dual rate function on it and I'm keeping it set on low for a while. On full rate you can put this J3 into a bodacious spin if you're not prepared for it.
Looks gets a 5 out of 5.
Performance gets a 5 out of 5 too.
Nice airplane Kyosho (which is also decaled largely on both sides of the fuselage)!

I was looking around the site for a plane I liked, and this one caught my attention immediately. Unfortunately, after a week of waiting, my airplane arrived without a battery or charger. Yes, I should have read the description more carefully, but I was still a bit disappointed that they would sell the plane without the necessary items.
By the way, the battery and charger together will cost you about another 100 dollars. They are not sold on the A Main Hobbies site.
