With almost 11 sq. ft. of wing area, the Champ has a light wing loading and very good manners, from taxi out to touch down. The entire airframe is covered in genuine Oracover. Wings and struts are easily removed for transport and storage. Cowl is epoxy fiberglass, pre-painted to match the covering. Battery access is through a hatch on the underside of the nose; landing gear is pre-assembled heavy-duty wire unit, ready to bolt into place. Assembly requires 12-16 hours. As an electric model the 1:4 Scale Champ requires 4 standard size servos; add one more for a gas or glow powered version. For 4-channels: Aileron (2 servos), Elevator, Rudder and Throttle.

does anyone know who sings the song on this video?

[eagleone622]

Anyone who thinks that is Cub yellow is an idiot. To the guys who have negatives to say...you simply don't know that much about aviation. All you care about is models that are "sexier". Get a real life.
