The 1700mm PA-18 FMS was launched in 2019 and its stability, ease of handling and usability characteristics have surprised and impressed new and old pilots alike. Although this trainer is in high demand, FMS has received constant questions as to whether it is possible to reduce the size of the aircraft, the airframe itself, but also the packaging, while retaining as much of its stability and flying qualities as possible, so that it can be taken along in a suitcase.
With the 1300 mm PA-18, FMS meets this challenge! The 1300 mm PA-18 still adopts a two-panel wing as well as the horizontal stabiliser, but at the same time the fuselage is designed in two parts, which makes it much easier to store and transport. It can be hidden in a corner of the car, ready to be used at any time.
Thanks to the functional flaps, a very load-bearing wing profile, rustic and robust undercarriage, and oversized rubber tyres, the 1300mm PA-18 Super Cub offers impressive short take-off and landing (STOL) characteristics, allowing it to be operated from virtually any terrain.
In addition, the PA-18 1300mm's assembly steps remain simple and convenient, with only a few screws required for assembly or disassembly.
For pilots seeking the true Bush Flying experience, the PA-18 Super Cub can be fitted with floats.
This latest 1300mm PA-18 can be a good start to enjoy versatile, fun and exceptionally relaxing flying!
