Description
The Flite Test Simple Cub Speed-build Kit with MakerFoam (956mm), part number FLT1072, is a foam RC aircraft kit designed for a quick build and flexible flying setup. Its laser-cut white MakerFoam airframe uses 11 separate foam pieces, allowing the model to be assembled in under two hours according to the manufacturer. The kit includes the main airframe parts and hardware needed to complete the airframe construction.
The Simple Cub can be built for basic three-channel control using rudder, elevator and throttle, or upgraded to four-channel control by adding ailerons. The aileron modification can be completed without building a new wing and is described as taking around 15 minutes. This gives the model scope for flaperons and aerobatic flying, while the aileron servos may also be used as drop mechanisms for foam payloads.
Its design allows several flying configurations. The model can be used as a trainer, fitted with optional floats, or flown without its undercarriage for rough-field operation. The wings can be separated for storage and transport, while the interchangeable power pod may offer suggested compatibility with other Flite Test designs. The airframe can also be painted if you want to customise its appearance.

Specifications
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.
