The Piper J-3 Cub
Wingspan - 49"
Length - 39"
Weight - 2 LBS
This is a radio control scale model of the Piper J-3 Cub that was built between 1937 to 1947. The Cub is one of the best known light aircraft of all time. It is the ninth-most-produced aircraft in the world. The aircraft has a simple, lightweight design which gives it good low-speed handling properties and short-field performance.
These sometimes small and light planes are often called "Park Flyers". Made of balsa or foam and having a electric motor, they are relatively quieter, weigh less and are able to fly in a smaller area like some neighborhood parks without irritating nearby residents. The best times to fly these Park Flyers are in the early mornings when the winds are calm or slightly blowing with perhaps little or no muggles.
This is 1 of 10 caches in this "Come Fly With Me" series. There will be 9 traditional caches. SAVE the numbers on the logs to solve the final cache coordinates.

Park hours: 6:30am - 10:00pm
This is a huge park with several soccer fields, several baseball/softball fields, tennis courts, a Olympic sized swimming pool and a archery range.
I like to fly in the lower Diamond Head side soccer field designated Field MP3 and MP4. Not to many muggles go there. It is a long walk from the parking lot to the middle of he field and the trees along the sides sometimes create some wind turbulence but there is lots of airspace.
