This RTF flying model of the J3 Piper Cub includes everything needed for new pilots to get into the air. Its stabilization system makes it very easy to fly by beginners. Find it here and use coupon code BG34404d (exp. 9/30/23) https://usa.banggood.com/custlink/vmv...

Pros
Seems to be an upgraded and rebranded version of the JJRC W01 J3 Piper Cub.
Very strong, constructed of highly crash resistant EPP foam.
Available in two versions; RTF with stock transmitter and built-in proprietary receiver, or BNF with available ports for DSM2/DSMX and PPM S-SUS receivers.
Flies very well outdoors in wind, yet seems to also be a good candidate for indoor gym flying.
505mm wingspan EPP foam flying model of the J3. Weighing only 65 grams, this airplane does not require registration in most countries.
True three channel control of throttle, rudder, and elevator.
6 axis stabilization (3 axis gyro, 3 axis accelerometer) makes this plane very easy to fly.
Propeller is powered by three 0720 coreless motors.
3.7V 500mah battery can provide up to 20 minutes of flight time (I got over 12 minutes of flight in windy conditions).
120 meter range with provided controller.
Two flight modes includes fully stabilized beginner mode with pitch and roll angle restrictions, and high rate stabilized intermediate mode with no restrictions on pitch angle (to enable loops).

Cons
Could not get it to bind with multi protocol transmitters using V911S E119 protocol. Protocol seems to have changed from the W01 model.
Requires some assembly, particularly attaching the wing, landing gear, and struts. It takes about 1/2 hour to complete assembly.
