Request Stock NotificationThe Flite Test Simple Cub (FLT1072) adopts clean white MakerFoam for a quick, rewarding build and forgiving flight characteristics. In its simplest form, the airframe uses just 11 foam pieces for a build time of under two hours. Designed for versatility, it can start as a 3-channel trainer (rudder, elevator, throttle) and be upgraded to a 4-channel model with ailerons using the same wing. The aileron mod takes around 15 minutes and opens options such as flaperons and basic aerobatics. Optional floats can be fitted, the undercarriage can be removed for rough-field flying, and the banded wing design aids storage and transport.
Key Features
- Quick, simple build using extra-durable, laser-cut MakerFoam.
- Ideal trainer; flies well as 3-channel and upgrades easily to 4-channel.
- Aileron conversion in about 15 minutes; enables flaperons and aerobatics.
- Aileron servos can double as drop mechanisms for foam payloads.
- Optional floats available for added versatility.
- Can be painted to personalise the finish.
- Banded wings for convenient transport and storage.
- Interchangeable power pod with suggested compatibility across other FT designs.

Adopting the new, clean, white MakerFoam, the Simple Cub is both quick to build and easy to fly. In its most simple form just 11 separate pieces of foam is all there is to the airframe of this desirable little model which, of course, makes for a delightfully speedy build time (under 2 hours). But there s more. Much more. Designed with versatility at its heart the FT Simple Cub offers its builder the option of upgrading from basic 3-channel (rudder, elevator and throttle) control to 4-channel (rudder, elevator, aileron and throttle) without building a new wing. What s more, in keeping with the Flite Test philosophy, the aileron modification only takes 15 minutes to add and opens up a world of new options such as flaperons and, of course, aerobatics.
If dropping foam bombs for target practice is something you fancy trying then note that the same aileron servos can double as drop mechanisms. Fly it as a trainer, add the optional floats, or just remove the undercarriage for rough field flying, this one does it all, and does it effortlessly. Truth is, with its ease of build, versatility, rugged good looks, strength, superb flight characteristics and go-to appeal, this design is possibly the most rewarding to build, fly and modify of all the FT designs.
