Description

About This Product The FMS 1300MM Piper PA-18 Super Cub is a high-performance RC airplane built for pilots who demand both authenticity and capability. Modeled after the legendary real-world Piper PA-18 Super Cub — one of the most iconic bush planes in aviation history — this RC replica captures the same rugged STOL DNA in a semi-scale design that flies as good as it looks. Reflex V3 Gyro Stabilization — Fly with Confidence Equipped with the advanced Reflex V3 stabilization system, this RC plane actively assists the pilot during flight. Whether you're dealing with unexpected wind gusts, performing maneuvers at low speed, or making your first solo landing, Reflex V3 keeps the aircraft stable and level without overriding your control inputs. It's like having an experienced co-pilot built in. Powerful 3536-KV850 Motor + 40A ESC The high-output 3536-KV850 brushless motor paired with a 40A electronic speed controller provides strong, consistent power across the full throttle range. Throttle response is instant and smooth — climb-out is brisk, cruise is stable, and descents are controlled. The 6-channel system gives you full authority over ailerons, elevator, rudder, throttle, and flaps simultaneously. Functional Flaps for True STOL Capability Unlike most trainer-scale RC planes, the PA-18 Super Cub features fully functional flaps. Deploy them on approach to dramatically reduce landing speed and achieve impressively short rollouts. On takeoff, flaps increase lift at low speeds for steep, short climbs — perfect for navigating obstacles or flying out of tight spaces. Built for Rough Terrains The oversized inflatable rubber tires are purpose-built for unpaved runways, grass fields, dirt strips, and gravel. The heavy-duty CNC metal landing gear absorbs hard landings and resists bending, making this the ideal choice for pilots who want to fly where others can't. An optional water rudder float set (sold separately) even unlocks lakeside flying.

  • Widow maker badly labeled switch.
Quality is excellent. However people need to know about a vary dangerous switch on the provided transmitter (ready to fly version) I followed all safety precautions in the manual & have used a lo of different transmitters & have never seen this function before. I was testing the control movements. Throttle lever was on off position, Throttle lock switch was in lock & I tested it for proper function. There is a row of very tiny switches at bottom of transmitter & marked with letters so small I could barely read. I decided to see what the tiny little switches did & low & behold one of the switches unlocked the throttle switch & reversed the throttle position. The airplane sitting in front of me suddenly went to max power by moving that one minuscule switch with my thumb nail! Wasn’t a lot of fun spending the net few hours in the emergency room. Could have been worse but prop hit the chair leg same time as it hit me & broke the prop. ... show more

  • Overall good plane
Use a simulator first. This plane is easy to fly, but hard to take off straight. Stay away from pavement and use a field with cut grass. The plane is pretty durable, but doesn't survive a direct hit to asphalt. Glue is your friend. :)

  • No buyer support from FMS
BEWARE. I purchased this from amazon. Not my first rc plane. It looked cool. During assembly I had some questions with the wiring, locations poorly marked. I contacted FMS. There response was we don't support, recognize, or warranty any FMS products purchased from a third party. They consider amazon as a third party seller although they advertise numerous products? Amazon actually list the seller as "Fairrc Rc". Go figure! Both are companies based in China with no phone number or address. Contact by email only and you know what that gets you. ... show more
