Description
The Piper PA-18 Super Cub is a two-seat, single-engine monoplane. It was developed from the Piper PA-11. In close to 40 years of production, over 9,000 were built. Super Cubs are commonly found in roles such as bush flying, banner towing and glider towing.
The FMS 1700mm PA-18 was launched in 2019, and its stable, easy-to-fly and easy-to-operate features have brought full surprises to both new and old pilots. While this trainer has been widely praised, FMS has been constantly asked whether it is possible to reduce the size of the aircraft, including the aircraft itself and the packaging, while maintaining its stability and operating controllability as much as possible, so that it can be picked up like a boarding suitcase.
With the 1300mm PA-18, FMS has answered the above question. The 1300mm PA-18 also adopts a two-section main wing and horizontal stability structure, but at the same time, the fuselage is also two-section, which greatly facilitates players’ transportation and carrying. It can be hidden in the corner of a car trunk, ready to be used at any time.
Thanks to its functional flaps, high-lift airfoil, rugged landing gear and oversized pneumatic rubber tires- the 1300mm PA-18 Super Cub has impressive short take-off and landing (STOL) performance, allowing it to operate from just about any terrain.
In addition, the assembly steps of the 1300mm PA-18 are still simple and convenient, and the assembly and disassembly of the entire aircraft can be completed with just a few screws.
For pilots wanting to get the genuine bush-plane experience, the PA-18 Super Cub can be equipped with floats.
The latest 1300mm PA-18 could be a great start to enjoying versatile, fun and exceptionally relaxing flight.

Haven¡¯t had a chance to fly it yet due to how windy it¡¯s been in my area but I still wanted to post a review on the build quality of this plane. Very well built and solid!
Samuel Fletcher –
The model arrived packed well and no damage. Assembly is a breeze, fitment is great. The plane looks great and I am hoping it flys as good as it looks.
Nathaniel Graves –
Nice plane!!! For beginners is a wonderful plane. It floats a lot, and sometimes it makes it a little challenging, but quiet water won¡¯t make an expert sailor!! Great plane!

Fit and finish are really nice, added spektrum reciever and with v3 flies very nice. Had to google flap hookups with v3 and also where to plug in lights. All in all, would recommend, and buy more fms in future.
