[@pjneslo8979]

I'm pretty impressed, Hobbyking has upped their game with the Quality Control of their products. Great presentation, might have to grab me one of these... Thanks

[@DeucesWildRC]

[@AirgunsmithNL]

[@JohnVHRC]

For sure, there will be more, I have some footage in the maiden video

[@GBLynden]

Good work man!

[@johnkinnane547]

G’day fine model and the first I have seen that the finish doesn’t look like foam beautiful John

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

A POWER TAP!!!! Finnally

[@JohnVHRC]

+Brian Phillips good idea!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I add these JST connectors all the time, so I can power LED's. It's nice that Hobbyking actually thought about it for us

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

P.S. That plane looks really sweet!

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

[@scottfirman]

That one looks pretty detailed,lots of bits. they didnt put much together for you did they? I almost thought you would have to install servos too! Great looking plane,wish I had the room for it.

[@JohnVHRC]

Thanks for reply

[@tommasoviani8949]

Hi! do you think That the H-King Navy J3 Cub can be a good 4ch Trainer and 2nd RC airplane? I flew the Super Cub S and I use RC flight sims. Is it hard to takeoff/handle? Thanks a lot and have a nice day!

[@JohnVHRC]

+MLGSwagPilot Lol I don't recommend Cubs as trainers.

[@RCTeamAustria]

thumbs up

[@JohnVHRC]

Thanks!

[@11537]

epo or balsa?

[@JohnVHRC]

Its all foam

[@4funrc11]

With the available technology today, 750-800 mm wingspan warbirds are all but nonexistent. :(

[@Tintin-dm4ym]

4FunRC how is that bad? 1100+ handles much better

[@agedflier9129]

Not much has changed from the original "Starmax" Cub made many years ago.. Same "foam" hinges same "plastic" landing gear with weak springs.. At least we may be able to get spares...mmmmm?? for our older Cubs and repaint them.. A good opportunity to make a good model better has been lost. FPV does not make the model better either.

[@JohnVHRC]

They added more spars, alot of planes have foam hinges. Landing gear is metal, with plastic visual parts, seems to be plenty durable from my testing. Its a great model.

[@agedflier9129]

As I said... Not much has changed...The opportunity was there to make it better.. Many "New" planes are being made with proper hinges.. Over the long term the metal on plastic pulls apart.. I think the Tundra is ALL metal. I know..costs are considered.... I'd call it an "improved" model NOT a new one...

[@scottfirman]

agedflier All things considered,I reminds me of a Dynam plane. Nice heavy duty foam but expect to change things to make it more durable. Cost is always a factor in buying a foamy. My suggestion for you would be to go with Balsa and mabe notro. They make some really nice planes available at Tower Hobbies,more in your price range I suspect. I have learned really quickly in this hobby to expect to invest in your own upgrades if you want a really nice plane. I have yet to find any one plane that comes perfect right out of the box. That being said, I think for what it is,they did a good job as far as molding and foam. I remember the early days of foamys. They were over priced and looked cheap,acted cheap and flew worse. Look at Banana hobby 's planes. They were garbage. Way over priced complete garbage. The foam was ugly,pain terrible,electronics that failed. Yup,nothing better than the big yellow turds.

[@agedflier9129]

Your missing my point... They had the opportunity to make it a LOT better..Check out the new planes from Freewing and FSM... Most are being made with hinged control surfaces. Also the changes in my view dont justify the $50-$60 increase over the yellow or green "old" ones..

[@agedflier9129]

How can I explain it better?? Let me see....A car maker tells you that the car they made 10years ago has new seats a new engine and new wheels and tyres..and they call it a "NEW' car... It's NOT a new car but an upgraded "old" car..Its still might be a good car..Same for this Navy Cub...A good plane that could have been better.

[@PDZ1122]

People used to build models. Now they film themselves opening boxes....

[@JohnVHRC]

Haha, yep! I dont miss the building!

[@calebtakespictures]

mmmmmm...... not durafly..... H-King. Not much of a difference, but hey ;)

[@JohnVHRC]

yeah, dangit.. slipped up on that one... Hard to edit it now :/

[@calebtakespictures]

hahaha, it's totally fine man. Editing is a beast. Great unboxing video! I can't wait until the J3 comes off back order so I can do my own "review" :)

[@PerryCodes]

I can tell what it is... Laziness. Everyone simply wants to buy a plane instead of build a model these days. Disgusting.

[@cafersas]

Perry Codes , yeah I think real modelist , made their own airplanes, right now I ' m working on a piper cub 1/4 scale using a 31cc trimmer engine , you can see it on my videos, is my first gas airplane but I will make it by myself. Good flights Perry

[@MegAndJas]

Some people love to fly model aircraft but do not have the skill set to build themselves, if you have then feel lucky, many aren't as lucky as you.

[@stevieray667]

Building is he fun part

[@MegAndJas]

Agreed it’s the fun part IF you have the skills, if you have not it can often end up as scrap, then you’ve wasted your time and money and never even get to fly it.

[@Cowcharge]

Did you build your own car dipshit, or were you too lazy?
