Inspired by the legendary Piper PA-18 Super Cub, a light aircraft renowned for its rugged design, the FMS 500mm PA-18 Super Cub is a micro-sized RC plane perfect for absolute beginners. This Ready-to-Fly (RTF) model arrives fully assembled and equipped with everything you need to start flying, including a transmitter, battery, and charger. Its compact size makes it ideal for flying in your backyard, a local park, or any open sports field. Engineered with a built-in 3-mode gyro system, it provides excellent stability and forgiveness, making it an incredibly fun and accessible entry into the world of RC aviation. The powerful 1020 coreless motor delivers consistent and reliable power for a smooth flight experience every time.

The PA-18 Super Cub is packed with beginner-friendly features designed to build confidence. The heading-hold-return function allows the plane to fly back towards you with the flip of a switch, while the one-key stunt button enables you to perform loops and rolls effortlessly. Its Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) capability allows for easy take-offs from the ground or by hand-launching. Built from crash-resistant EPP foam, the airframe is both lightweight and strong, capable of withstanding minor impacts. A clever propeller protection design allows the prop to detach on impact, reducing damage and getting you back in the air quickly. With two sets of stickers included, you can even customise its appearance.

Simple One-Switch Return Function

Never worry about losing orientation. Before takeoff, activate the return function. If the plane flies over 20 metres away, just flip a switch, and it will automatically turn and fly back towards you. You can regain control at any time, making it very beginner-friendly.

One-Button Aerobatics for Easy Stunts

Performing aerobatics is now as easy as pushing a button. In full stabilisation mode, press the stunt button and move the control stick to perform a perfect loop or roll. The plane automatically recovers after each manoeuvre, letting you enjoy the thrill of aerobatics safely.

Powerful Motor and Precise Control System

The Super Cub is equipped with a high-torque 1020 coreless motor and an upgraded 2.4GHz radio system. This combination delivers stable, consistent power for smooth flight and precise control. It has all the performance you need for sport flying and basic aerobatics.

Easy Take-offs with STOL Capability

Thanks to its STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) design, getting into the air is simple. You can easily take off from short, smooth surfaces on the ground, or you can just give it a gentle hand launch. It's a versatile and forgiving design, great for new pilots.

Propeller Saver for Added Durability

Minor bumps don't have to end your flight. The propeller is designed to automatically detach on impact to help prevent damage to it and the motor. If it pops off, you can simply snap it back into place and get right back to flying.

Ready to Fly with 3-Mode Gyro System

This plane arrives fully assembled and ready to fly right out of the box. It features a helpful 3-mode gyro system with full stabilisation for beginners, optimised stabilisation for intermediate pilots, and manual control for experts. It's a plane that can grow with your skills.

Durable and Lightweight EPP Foam Construction

The Super Cub is made from crash-resistant EPP foam, which is both lightweight and very durable, making it beginner-friendly. The airframe is finished in a bold red scheme for high visibility, and it includes extra blue decals so you can customise its look to your liking.

Compact Size for Flying Anywhere

The 500mm wingspan makes this Super Cub small and easy to take anywhere. It's perfect for flying in large parks, sports fields, or even your own backyard on a calm day. Its portable size means you can enjoy a flight whenever and wherever you get the chance.
