FMS PA-18 Super Cub 1300mm - Test by JLC-Aviation

January 2023

FMS PA-18 1300mm "Super Cub"  tested by JLC-Aviation.fr

Jean-Louis Coussot, who throughout his career tested hundreds of RC models for the french magazines RCM, Looping, FLY International, RC Pilot and more recently Model Magazine, is now a pensioner, which does not prevent him from continuing his RC aircraft activities and to share his impressions of the models he creates or assembles from kits on his website "www.jlc-aviation.fr". This is how the brand new 1300 mm wingspan FMS PA-18 has just been analyzed down to the smallest detail.

Mixed style: text, photos and videos!

Until now, the reviews on this website were in "text and photos" format. This time, several videos complete the writing and can also be viewed "standalone" since they are available on YouTube. Here are some previews of the "written" version that you find by clicking on this link:

We note the photos grouped in the form of slide shows distributed over the chapters. Each photo has a caption, just hover over it with the mouse to read it..

The Reflex module that equips many FMS models is also detailed and the settings offered for the model are more complete than those in the manual. 

We note the care given to the photos and we will even find some spectacular photo-montages of short takeoffs from burst shots.

You can directly access YouTube videos by clicking on the following thumbnails:
