ParkZone J-3 Cub: Highlights Reel

This video illustrates the flight capabilities of a ParkZone J-3 Cub park flyer. It demonstrates Full Throttle, Bank Right, Bank Left, Figure Eight, Chandelle, Straight Stalls, Landing in the Weeds, Hand Launch, Half Loops, Full Loop, One and a Half Loops, Quad Loop, Attack Run, Inverted Flight Attempts, Spins, Emergency Descent (Well, not really. It's more like a spin, but you'll hear an engaging discussion about emergency descent.), and Flybys.

@romrom059, You don't need to throw it by hand. If you have a smoothe surface to take off from (such as a paved parking lot), you can take off from the ground. We normally launch it by hand because we usually fly in a field that has no runway.

Yikes, work on the flyin a bit...

[Schlermie]

@Razorscooterpoo How 'bout that sweet landing though?

[peroxidal]

2 min of flying broke 3 things > <

[Schlermie]

@peroxidal Don't let that discourage you. Invest in a roll of packing tape and glue. Try to do some cheap repairs wherever possible. It's very likely you'll crash it and break something again during your next flight or two also, so I would avoid buying new parts right now unless they're absolutely necessary. If they are necessary, don't worry, replacement parts usually just cost a few bucks. Repairs are just part of the hobby. My planes are under continual repair. Some look like Frankenstein.

is this plane pretty easy to fly compared to the j3 piper 4 channel?

[Schlermie]

@peroxidal Yes, it's fairly easy to fly. It makes a good beginner plane, although you should still be prepared for a few crash-and-repairs with this one. Try to get it high up into the air before trying any crazy maneuvers. Just fly some simple circles at first. When turning, just do some quick tap-tap-taps on the stick. Don't hold it to the extreme edge of the range or else you'll probably end up oversteering.

the soundtrack sounds like im watching an episode of a 1970's-80's show. CHiPs maybe.

[romrom059]

HELLO ! I'm French : You are to oblige of throw(launch) it to the hand? Where it is you who prefer? Otherwise one can make him(it) unstuck normally?

Maybe I'll go brushless if the old system ids really worn out.

[ib422000]

Anyone know of 'how to' aileron addition to this little plane? I bought one from a local hobby shop...for 10 bucks, and it needs work. The plastic gear in the motor had a couple of teeth missing. I ordered a replacement, and intend to fly it with a lipo, though I have the original nicad battery. Everything else seems fine. One wing has a slight crease in it, nothing major.

Thanks for info. if any forthcoming.
