Is it an ARF, or not? Hangar 9's new 4/1 scale Piper PA-18 Super Cub that is. Of course it has the trappings of an ARF-a ply/balsa airframe already framed and covered-but this new model is also loaded with a lot of scale features. It's those features, like the scale functional bungee landing gear, the scale wing struts, the optional scale nav lights, the optional scale cockpit kit that turn what would be just an assembly process into a far more engaging and challenging project. The outcome is a very satisfying sense of accomplishment. In its own smaller way it's almost similar to putting a homebuilt aircraft together.
