Piper J-3 CUB

Piper J-3 Cub is the next of new LW Planes – Free for all our customers. Series designed for easy and cheap flying. The build is simple even for a beginner. It’s very low weight, easy assembly and fantastic flight characteristics makes this model an ideal plane for beginner RC pilots.

5 channel controls: motor, elevator, 2x ailerons and rudder.

This model has been completely designed for PolyLight LW-PLA material in mind (not suitable for standard PLA).

Parts printed from this LW-PLA are light, easily sanded and glued together. This model requires only about 300g of this material, that means it’s a very cheap build. In case of accident, parts can be easily reprinted with just a filament cost.

We’ve been testing this material for a years before this plane was released… The material is using an active foaming technology to achieve lightweight, low density PLA parts. At around 230°C this material will start foaming, increasing its volume by nearly 3 times.

Almost all parts of this plane should be printed from LW-PLA (some specific parts needs PLA or PETg).
