The Phoenix Model PA-18 Super Cub 91" ARF (PH117) is a superb giant-scale recreation of the iconic Piper Super Cub PA-18, designed for intermediate-level RC pilots who want authentic scale looks combined with excellent flying characteristics.

Designed using advanced 3-D computer engineering, the PA-18 Super Cub features precision-cut components for accurate alignment and a strong, straight assembly. Its high-quality balsa and light plywood construction provides an excellent balance of strength and weight, while the accurate scale outline and full-depth cockpit give this model an impressive presence both on the ground and in the air.

The functional flaps add realistic scale detail while providing practical control during flight. The two-piece bolt-on wings can also be removed for convenient transportation and storage, making this impressive 91" Super Cub easier to manage between the workshop and flying field.

Suitable for both glow/petrol (GP) and electric power setups, the PH117 offers flexibility for pilots who prefer traditional engine power or modern brushless electric propulsion.
