One of the most recognized names in

aviation history is the Piper J-3 Cub.  A child of
the Depression, Mr. Piper's Cub began
production in the early '30s, evolving into the
65 HP J-3 version in 1939.  Proliferating in the
years before and during WWII, the Cub has
introduced more young men to the joys of
flight than any other airplane ever.

Now you can own a part of aviation's

history and enjoy the relaxing and realistic
flight characteristics of the venerable J-3 Cub.
Thunder Tiger's ARF J-3 has been meticulously
built from the finest material and covered with
UltraCote     in the classic Cub Yellow color
scheme.  Scale details such as wing struts,
landing gear bungees, Cub wheels, accurately
contoured fuselage, and dummy engine
cylinder heads create a head-turning beauty.
Only a few hours of enjoyable assembly and
you are ready to step back in time and be a part
of history by flying the classic J-3 Cub.
