For more than 50 years, Piper's Super Cub has escorted thrill-seekers to the farthest reaches of the wilderness, and along the way, it has become one of the most widely recognized aircraft of all time. Hangar 9 pays wonderful tribute to that legacy with its new /4-scale version of this American classic. The 100-inch-wingspan model comes out of the box nearly completely built, and it's covered in Worldtex fabric with an authentic antique trim scheme. The kit features a painted fiberglass cowl and wheel pants and factory-installed flaps for excellent slow-speed stability. The Super Cub should be powered by a 1.20 to 1.48 2-stroke, a 1.50 to 1.80 4-stroke, or a Zenoah G-23 engine. It sells for $449.99.
