J-3 Cub

203

Built from a Great Planes kit, this Cub is powered by a Saito FG-14 gas engine and uses a Frsky X9D+ radio, dual receivers, and Hitec HV servos. It’s covered with MonoKote and its cowl is painted in matching LustreKote. Matt enjoys practicing touch-and-gos with his new build. Matt Morley, White Bear Lake, Minnesota
