SIG Piper J3 Cub Manuals

This model of the famous Piper Cub is a natural for radio control, but can also be flown free flight - an increase in dihedral is recommended for this application - or converted to control line by the addition of leadout guides to the wing tip and a bellcrank in the cabin. The stable flight characteristics make it a good RC scale trainer for inexperienced fliers, but it can be stunted by expert expert pilots. Built-up construction is strong and light, will not be difficult if you study the plans and the instructions in this manual carefully. Read all of the manual before beginning construction.
