E-flite J-3 Cub 25 ARF - Manual (Page 2)

Introduction
The Piper J-3 Cub is an all-time favorite among aviation
enthusiasts everywhere. Classic lines and predictable flight
performance are just a few of the Cub’s trademarks. The
25-size J-3 Cub from E-flite ™ is the first of its size for
E-flite. The name Piper J-3 Cub .25 ARF implies the power
of a .25 glow engine, but it is designed specifically for
electric operation. This aircraft has been designed from
the start for the E-flite Power 25 Outrunner BL motor.
It uses balsa and plywood construction and is covered
with genuine UltraCote ® . Using a scale of approximately
1/7, the J-3 Cub spans 62 inches delivering excellent
presentation and performance to budget-minded pilots.
You can fly with either a 10-cell Ni-MH battery, or a
3-cell Li-Po for increased performance and duration. An
optional set of scale fiberglass floats is also available
(EFLA500). All it takes is five minutes to change from
landing gear to floats to enjoy those afternoons on the
lake. Change back to the standard landing gear and you
can be shooting touch-and-go’s at the local flying field, the
choice is yours. Either way we believe you will fall in love
with the relaxing flight performance of the E-flite J-3 Cub.
