The Piper PA-18 Super Cub is a two-seat, single-engine monoplane. Introduced in 1949 by Piper Aircraft, it was developed from the Piper PA-11, and traces its lineage back through the J-3 to the Taylor E-2 Cub of the 1930s. In close to 40 years of production, over 9,000 were built.
The Nexa Piper PA-18 Super Cub is a .46-size electric scale series civilian aircraft with a 1620mm wingspan, constructed primarily from balsa wood and fully covered. This ARF requires assembly and installation of your choice of servos and power system, and includes a two piece wing design with aluminum wing joiner, fiberglass cowling, detailed cockpit, working cockpit doors, dummy engine, a large battery hatch and pre-hinged and installed control surfaces.

Nexa Piper
Great airplane only setback was cost of shipping and duties which almost doubled the price. Look into other shipping as outside US cost is prohibitive.

Overall the worst ARF I have ever purchased. I also purchased the recommended speed control and motor at the same time. The speed control caught on fire and Burt out. Motion would not replace it because I replaced the connectors to match the motor they recommended. I could not use the speed controller without replacing the connectors.. I think I am done with motion RC...
