I had the good fortune of talking with E-flite model airplane designer David Payne to discuss his latest model, the new Piper L-4 Grasshopper. Another of the models that all RC guys love, the L-4 is the military version of the popular J-3 Cub. It has many interesting features that make it a great model with excellent flying characteristics for pilots of all skill levels. David gives us some great insight into this excellent airplane. I have listed some of the features that David and I discussed below. Watch our video to find out what makes the L-4 Grasshopper so special.

•Great-looking scale outline and scale Features
•Built-up balsa construction
•Realistic UltraCote® ParkLite™ trim scheme
•Easily assembles in a single evening
•Magnetically secured plug-in wings
•Quick-release wing struts

There are a few items that you will need to complete the L-4 ARF:
•4 servos
•Receiver
•250 Brushless E-flite motor
•E-flite 430 2S Li Po Battery
•10-Amp Speed control

  • Jim i was wondering if you could use the s75 servos rather than the s60 servos that are reccomended in this airplane.

    Love the videos keep up the great work!!!

  • I've talked with David and he is of the opinion that you would have to make changes with resulting weight gains and lower performance. The recommended AR6300 rx and 4 serovo package would be much better.

  • Ive only had one plane before and i couldnt fly it beacause it was foam and very light. would this be good for a semi beginner?

  • Skater, I would say this one is not the best for you, sounds like you need a more durable model to get thorugh the basic training level (which means a couple of inevetible crashes). The L-4 is perfect as a model for anyone who is looking for a model that is one step beyond that first model.

  • im worried aout the magnets i dont want things that hold down my Half oz foam canopy to hold down my wings or are they very strong

  • Works like a champ. Actually the wing struts keep the panels in place. The magnets just keep the alignment tubes engaged. No load on the wings, probably even less than on a canopy. Anyway, works great.

  • @JetFlyyer the pushrods are included

  • Can the spektrum digital servos be used in this or are those only for helis?

  • @TheFlight17 better get something that's not a tail dragger, like a cessna cardinal, but with a flight sim like real flight, you ought to be fine with this plane.

  • Whoops my iPod changed the word. I meant wheel not week.

  • Is the tail week steerable?

  • I never flew an RC plane before. I bought RealFlight g3.5 like 4 months ago and play almost ever day for about an hour. I'm looking into buying this plane. Is it good for beginners? I want a 4 channel though. And the piper cub always caught my eye. I like building models, but nothing to hard though. Also what other things do i need to get this plane up in the air?

  • is there a way to make it a 3 channel trainer by connecting the rudder servo into the receiver where the alliarons?

  • This is a really great plane. Love th sharpie idea as well. But is is made out of balsa wood than coted with that plastic?

  • It's all good ! - lol
