Clipped Wing Cub 1/4-Scale Aerobatic - SIGRC47
 In
1969 Hazel Sig, President of SIG Mfg. Co., rebuilt a standard 1941 Piper
J-3 Cub for aerobatic flying. To improve the airplane's aerobatic
performance, 40in. was clipped off each wing panel, and the engine was
reworked to produce 75hp instead of its normal 65hp. The entire framework
of the Cub was rebuilt and a dazzling sunburst paint job was applied with
SIG Supercoat Dope. Over the years Hazel progressed to more powerful
airplanes for her aerobatics, but none ever captured the affections of
modelers worldwide as has the Clipped Wing Cub. In the air the
1/4-scale version of Hazel’s Cub is as smooth, stable, and responsive as
the big one. Basic aerobatic maneuvers such as loops, rolls, spins, and
snaps are easy. “A
beautiful model of a truly special airplane!“ |
