FMS 1300mm PA-18 Super Cub — Flight Pro Exclusive FrSky RTF Package
The FMS 1300mm PA-18 Super Cub Flight Pro Exclusive Package takes one of FMS’s most popular STOL-capable bush planes and pairs it with a fully Flight Pro-configured FrSky transmitter and receiver setup. This package is designed for pilots who want a cleaner, more complete setup without having to figure out radio programming, receiver selection, gyro setup, or basic aircraft configuration on their own.
The FMS 1300mm PA-18 Super Cub is already known for its stable flight characteristics, rugged landing gear, functional flaps, oversized pneumatic tires, and excellent short takeoff and landing performance. Flight Pro takes that foundation and makes it easier to get flying with a properly configured FrSky radio system matched to the aircraft.
This package is available in two setup options:
ARF Completion Package
This option includes everything needed to complete the aircraft, including your selected Flight Pro-configured FrSky transmitter and receiver package. The receiver is included but may require installation depending on the selected configuration. This is a great option for pilots who are comfortable completing final setup but want the correct electronics and radio programming already prepared.
RTF — Ready to Fly Package
This option includes the aircraft with the receiver pre-bound, installed, and set up by Flight Pro. Your selected FrSky transmitter is fully configured for the PA-18, giving you a more complete ready-to-fly experience with the radio system already matched to the aircraft.
Both package options include a fully Flight Pro setup on a FrSky transmitter, with transmitter and receiver choices available directly in the product listing options.
Flight Pro Exclusive Setup
Every Flight Pro PA-18 package is configured around a FrSky radio system selected for reliability, flexibility, and long-term usability. Instead of receiving a generic transmitter setup, you get a radio package configured specifically for the FMS 1300mm PA-18 Super Cub.
Depending on the selected transmitter and receiver option, the Flight Pro setup may include:
-
Preconfigured aircraft model profile
-
Receiver binding completed or prepared, depending on selected package
-
Proper channel assignments
-
Throttle safety setup
-
Functional flap setup
-
Flight mode and control layout configured for the PA-18
-
Voice callouts where supported
-
Basic rate setup
-
Receiver and transmitter matched to the aircraft package
-
Flight Pro setup and support
Final trim, control direction verification, and preflight checks are still required before flying.
Aircraft Overview
Inspired by the legendary Piper PA-18 Super Cub, the FMS 1300mm PA-18 is a compact, easy-to-transport RC aircraft designed for relaxed flying, grass field operations, and bush-plane style fun.
Thanks to its functional flaps, high-lift wing design, rugged CNC metal landing gear, and oversized pneumatic rubber tires, the PA-18 delivers impressive STOL performance and can take off in less than 3 meters / 10 feet under the right conditions.
The aircraft features a two-piece wing, two-piece horizontal stabilizer, and two-section fuselage, making it much easier to transport and store compared to larger models. It can fit more conveniently into a vehicle while still delivering the stable, forgiving flight characteristics that make the PA-18 platform so popular.
Power comes from a 3536-850KV brushless motor paired with a 40A ESC, providing dependable thrust for everyday sport flying, touch-and-go practice, grass field flying, and short-field operation.
For pilots wanting the full bush-plane experience, optional floats are available separately.
