What's in the bundle

Overview

The Piper PA-18 Super Cub is a two-seater legend, famous for its 40+ years of bush flying service. Now you can pilot this icon with the FMS 1.3m PA-18, which retains all the stability and gentle flight characteristics of its full-scale sibling. It's designed for convenience, with a two-section fuselage and wings that simplify storage and transport. This is a true bush plane, boasting impressive Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) capabilities thanks to its functional flaps, high-lift airfoil, and rugged CNC-machined metal landing gear with oversized tyres. It tames any terrain with confidence, and assembly is a breeze, requiring only a few screws.

This Ready-To-Fly version comes with everything you need. It’s equipped with a powerful 3536-850KV brushless motor and 40A ESC, providing plenty of thrust for any situation. The pre-installed Reflex V2 flight stabilisation system acts as a virtual co-pilot, smoothing out the air and offering different flight modes to help you build confidence. Floats are available separately, allowing you to easily convert it for take-offs and landings on water. It's a versatile, fun, and relaxing flying experience for pilots of all levels.

This is the ultimate "Learn To Fly" package. Before your first flight, you can master the basics on the included RealFlight Trainer Edition RC Flight Simulator. It comes with its own dedicated SLT6 transmitter, so you can plug it in and practice flying on your computer. This builds crucial muscle memory and confidence. We've also included a LiPo safety bag for secure battery charging and 8x AA batteries to power both the plane's transmitter and the simulator transmitter. It is truly the all-in-one box to start taking to the skies!

Note

Please refer to the instruction manual for specific waterproof standards, safety precautions, and operating instructions.

This bundle includes two transmitters: one for flying the aircraft and a separate SLT6 transmitter for use with the RealFlight Simulator.
