Piper PA-18 Super Cub 2710mm (106.6") Wingspan - ARF from Nexa - NXA1019-001
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. Super Cubs are commonly found in roles such as bush flying, banner towing and glider towing.
The Nexa Super Cub is a large scale electric/gas series civilian aircraft with a 2710mm 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, flaps, a large battery hatch and pre-hinged and installed control surfaces.

Do yourself a favor and replace the hinges on all the control surfaces before you do anything else. This includes the cowl door hinges too. Very poor quality. The fuselage is well constructed as well as the tail feathers and wings. I don't care too much for the covering, it wrinkles really bad and doesn't hold to well once I've tightened the skin. I'm using the NGH 35cc with rear exhaust. Also bought from Motion. Man, it pulls real nice and has a steady idle. Once the engine is primed with a few flips the engine starts with no issues. It doesn't take much ground to get her into the air. No bad tendencies. I like using flaps even though with this plane they're not needed. She slows down with no signs of stalling. Once on the ground there's no tendency to bounce like a rabbit. As far as the landing gear using standard screws for axels, is being really cheapo. I bought a set of du-bro axels and that cured the problem. The wing struts are garbage as well. the ends that connect to the fuselage and the wings will break just from the vibration alone. I made my own connectors from far better material. For the price overall not bad, it's not MotionRC fault. All the faults I mentioned fall on the manufacturer. I'm still pretty much happy with the plane and hope to have many flights with it.

I replaced mine with Robart 1/4 scale landing gear and that totally changed how well it handles on the ground. Additionally, the wing spar tube is made of cardboard and the sticky back covering is impossible to fix. All that being said though, it flies fantastic.
