ericrw Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm considering buying the Kyosho Piper J-3 Cub 50 Artf-EP. I would appreciate any comments, good or bad, on this model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben B Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 My experience of Kyosho planes- nicely built, strongly built, good accessories, covering falls off at the first opportunity. So give the plane a good going over with a covering iron before flying. I scrapped a perfectly good Calmato sports because the film had come off (shortly after the solartrim type material) and the balsa had gone soggy.

Vinno Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I had one of these, VERY solidly built and a very stable flyer. Well worth fuel proofing as not convinced by the factory effort Usual covering issues after a little while, but was great ! In fact it still lives as a club mate had it off me and recovered it. Was ok on an sc52fs but is improved with the 56fs the my wealthier club mate has installed ! Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
