have been placed next to each step to keep track
of its completion. Steps with a single circle (

performed once, while steps with two or more circles

Introduction
For more than half a century, Piper’s Super Cub has
been a favorite of general aviation pilots who spend
most of their time off the beaten path. Its respectable
power, excellent short field performance and rugged
design have made it perfect for back country
transportation, towing gliders or simply getting away
from it all.
The Super Cub 25e ARF expertly captures the look
and feel of this aviation classic with an accurate scale
outline and features unlike anything ever seen in
its power class. This Platinum Series airplane offers
numerous scale details such as a traditional Super
Cub scheme, molded corrugation on the ailerons
and functional flaps, painted aluminum wing struts,
functional shock-absorbing landing gear with scale
Cub wheels and tires, functional split cockpit door, and
more.
But, even with all these scale features, E-flite didn’t
overlook ease of assembly. The two-piece wing and
magnetically secured, factory painted fiberglass
cowling are just a couple of the convenient design
features that make the Super Cub 25e a breeze to
assemble. Even if you add the optional cockpit and
light kits, you can have your airplane ready to fly in a
few evenings. And it will be virtually indistinguishable
from its full scale counterpart and sure to be the envy
of everyone at your flying field!
