HERE'S THE HANGAR 9 J3 CUB WHICH HAS AN 80 INCH WINGSPAN AND WAS POWERED WITH A SAITO 80 4 STROKE ENGINE. THIS PLANE WAS GIVEN TO ME BY A FELLOW WCB CLUB MEMBER AND FRIEND. HE HAD GROUND LOOPED IT SEVERAL TIMES AND JUST GOT FRUSTATED WITH IT. I STARTED REPAIRING IT THE FIRST WEEK OF JUNE, 2001. I ENDED UP FLYING IT SEVERAL TIMES, BUT NEVER REALLY LIKED THE WAY IT FLEW. ONE THING WAS IT WAS WAY TOO HEAVY. THAT'S JUST ONE OF THE REASONS I DON'T LIKE ARF AIRPLANES AND WOULD NEVER BUY ONE NEW. ANYWAYS, I ENDED UP CRASHING IT WHEN THE BATTERY LEAD CAME LOOSE INSIDE AND THE PLANE SPIRALLED DOWN AND SMASHED THE NOSE. I TOOK THE SAITO 80 AND REPAIRED IT AND SOLD IT AND BURNED THE CUB.
