DETAILS

Here at MULTIPLEX the “Cub” name has a long tradition in our range of Elapor and lightweight foam model aircraft. It all started with the PicoCub, which first saw the light of day back in the year 2000. From the outset the machine was designed as a beginner’s model, although at that time it was still made of styrofoam. After this came a whole series of successful models including the EasyCub, FunCub and FUNCUB XL. And here comes the “FunCUB NG”! The NG suffix stands for “Next Generation”, and it really does deserve the appellation.

We have managed to improve the model’s already excellent flying qualities and handling, and this means that the FunCub NG is extremely good-natured and impressively easy to control, but remains very agile: it can even be used for aerobatics and glider towing. The ROXXY motor installed (RR) as standard offers ample reserves of power, enabling the model to fly knife-edge passes and torque rolls. The FunCub NG is an outstanding choice as a beginner’s trainer, but will delight young and old equally.

One new feature is the working wing struts. The model can be flown without the struts, but for aerobatics we recommend that they be fitted. The large wheels and new undercarriage make the FunCub easily capable of taking off and landing on virtually any terrain. The internal fuselage structure has been completely redesigned, and the motor is now back-mounted; the principal forces on the undercarriage, motor mount and battery plate are absorbed by a central rectangular-section GRP tube.
