Piper J-3 Cub R/C Short Kit by Agustin Puertas

The Piper J-3 Cub R/C Short Kit by Agustin Puertas brings the iconic, high-wing, light-aircraft charm of the Piper Cub into a compact, build-it-yourself RC model. Based on the freely available plan oz11262 from Outerzone, this short kit offers builders a straightforward wood-structure foundation to create a faithful and flyable model.

This kit is ideal for hobbyists who enjoy building from scratch and customizing their finish, power system, and radio setup. Whether you prefer a classic “stick-and-tissue” look, a modern lightweight electric conversion, or a simple sport-flying glider-style build — the Piper J-3 Cub delivers flexibility and nostalgic appeal.

• Laser-cut balsa and lite-plywood parts for fuselage, wing ribs, tail surfaces, and formers (structural kit only)
• Based on the Outerzone oz11262 plan — true to the classic Piper J-3 Cub proportions and shape
• High-wing, lightweight design — great for beginner- to intermediate-level RC pilots
• Flexible build options: electric power, light IC engine, or even non-powered glider conversion
• Customizable finishing — builder-supplied covering, paint or film, and hardware

Note: This is a short kit. It includes only the structural wood parts. Covering materials, adhesives, radio gear, landing gear, wheels, motor/engine, servos, and finishing supplies are not included. Builders should print the plan at full scale and verify dimensions before cutting wood or covering.
