FAQ

6-inch carbon spinner and Falcon 30x12 propeller from Bob's Hobby Center. They will cut the spinner and drill it which is nice! Spektrum A6300 servos on flight controls. Spektrum Smart 2S 5000mAh on receiver (2), 2S 4000mAh on ignition.

Yes it definitely can, though we do not offer a suitable electric motor for this model. One of the Hacker Q100 motors would be a starting point.

If you complete this model and it weighs over 55 pounds, which is likely, most flying sites and events in the US will require you to operate the model in accordance with the AMA's LMA program.

Unfortunately we don't have access to products such as spinners or propellers for the DLE-222 engine. They are specialized items. The FX-3 Cub was not designed specifically for the DLE-222, which is why there are not instructions for its installation. Some modeling is required.

Flying weight is approximately 60 pounds, this of course is affected by equipment choice, and could be more.
