Bathflyer Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Can anyone help with identifying the model shown below? The fuselage formers have printed part numbers on them, so presumably the model has been built from a kit. The wingspan is 48 inches, uses three channel (engine, rudder and elevator) and is powered by an Enya .15. I acquired it from the estate of a former club member but have no other details. Many thanks Upload 1.heic Upload 2.heic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leccyflyer Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Looks like a Piper Super Cub of some description. As it's apparently a kit the colour scheme won't help, but it does look sort of like the Graupner Super Cub and a look at the struts (if fitted) and undercarriage detail might help to narrow it down. https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=5095 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bathflyer Posted October 9 Author Share Posted October 9 Hi Leccyflyer and Robin. Thanks very much for the responses. There are no struts on the model as built, but the undercarriage looks spot on and otherwise it looks a very good match to the Graupner plan. I'm thinking about converting it to electric so the fuselage plan will be very useful. Might even add the struts as a late addition!

leccyflyer Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 The Graupner plan is well populated with part numbers, so you might be able to match some of those up for a definitive answer. Even if it turns out not to be the Graupner electrifying the Cub ought not present too many difficulties and you can now search for any examples which have been converted to electric.

Bathflyer Posted October 9 Author Share Posted October 9 Yes, I'll try that. Thanks for the suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
