Almost Ready-to-Fly EP Foam Profile Plane

The Cub to fly indoors or outdoors!

It's always a great day to fly the FlatOuts J-3 Cub indoor ARF. Made of lightweight, precolored foam, this Cub demands little time, effort or expense — and it's a perfect way to use your .40 glow trainer experience to learn indoor piloting skills!

Flight-ready in only 2-3 hours.
Compact and maneuverable at low speeds for indoor flight...also flies with authority outdoors in light winds.
Includes prop, prop saver/adapter, and factory-installed motor and gearbox.

With its low parts count and factory-applied trim scheme, the FlatOuts J-3 Cub can be flight-ready in as little as 1-2 hours. Pre-cut slots in the foam panels are ready for easy installation of linkages and radio gear.

"It's always flying season with our FlatOuts J-3 Cub. Enjoy it indoors during poor weather. Then take it outside on calm days – with the included power system, winds up to 5 mph are no problem!"

Don Anderson

The included motor and gearbox have already been installed, so in no time you'll be ready for your first trip to the flying site – whether it's indoors or at a local park. The prop and prop saver/adapter are also included.

Great Planes includes all of the hardware you'll need to get your FlatOuts J-3 Cub airborne in a snap. It's lightweight, well-engineered, and easy to install.

The wing features a Jedelsky-type airfoil design to improve lift and slow flight characteristics. It also incorporates a round carbon-fiber spar to keep weight low and increase strength.
