I had the good fortune of talking with E-flite model airplane designer David Payne to discuss his latest model, the new Piper L-4 Grasshopper.  Another of the models that all RC guys love, the L-4 is the military version of the popular J-3 Cub. It has many interesting features that make it a great model with excellent flying characteristics for pilots of all skill levels.  David gives us some great insight into this excellent airplane. I have listed some of the features that David and I discussed below. Watch our video to find out what makes the L-4 Grasshopper so special.

    There are a few items that you will need to complete the L-4 ARF:
  • 4 servos
  • Receiver
  • 250 Brushless E-flite motor
  • E-flite 430 2S Li Po Battery
  • 10-Amp Speed control
