Don't you think they should have made the plane bigger?

It's not always the size that matters, Joe. This is a fun nimble plane for an intermediate to advanced hobbyist. I crushed the foam on the nose and broke both wings on my first amateur flight...but it was fun while it lasted.

Several experienced RC pilots in our group have found this to be a very difficult plane to fly. Not for beginners

I believe this is a micro class plane. They do have larger carbon cub band planes. It is a nice plane to fly but it does break fairly easy if you crash.
1956231
Yes, and test flights...mine still has problems and I am a 20 yr veteran rc flyer.
1956232
No. I don't think it should be bigger. Its the perfect size for a park flyer.
1956233
No. It fills a niche market for flyers like me who need smaller models in order to fly in the smaller spaces available to us. If you're looking for a larger cub with flaps, then check into the Sport Cub over on Horizon Hobby.

They did. Its called the ParkZone Sport Cub. PKZ6880. I have the UMX and the Sport Cub and they are awesome planes.

No, put them in a separate box and check them on the plane. Box is like 20x20 . Do if you have two it would be bigger. Hope this helps.

I think that is to big. We had to be inventive to get a 4-5 pound chicken in it because of the legs and wings.

I just flew yesterday and mine was too big by about 3" cost me 25 bucks to check it in as an over head.

I screwed it up before I could finish it, but I did get the block, heads and manifold on and it was about the size of a 6 pack of beuhra soda. a bit taller when on the stand and with the oil pan on, a bit longer with the "transmission" crank. It would have been really cool if I would've followed the instructions... the cylinders turned pretty well but take your time gluing. The parts did not have the dimples and holes that most airplanes have to seat the parts correctly, and be extra careful putting the heads together. Really nice model other than my own incompetence.

The balloon is made of woodish material, so yes, it would be a much bigger package.

Without the legs, inside a carrying case, it would be a bulky companion. It would not fit easily inside the overhead compartments of a crowded aircraft. Its not heavy, but it's definitely not light either.

no, it's not that big. Those measurements are probably for the box that the bird came in.

Oh sorry my answer was for smaller than 747 but I don't know about tiny planes

Plane??? The pkg is pretty snug, probably an inch or toe bigger than the hummer itself. 3 ft by 2 maybe! So worth the purchase thou, my 19 month old LOVES it!!!!!!

No, the tub is assembled, so if the plane could not accommodate it's dimensions you might have to get in touch with the Northern Lights folks and see if they could offer it in kit form. They are easy to deal with. Just ask for Tim Musiky.

I agree. I don't know why they make it that way, but they should consider making it wider. The seams can look cheap.
1754012
the ship is about 10" by 21" fully extended. the plane is probably about 5" long
1517706
I have been hand launching plane. It's way cooler. I agree with Kevin though, if you have been flying micros, this is a step backwards, this plane does not have ailerons.

You probably need to check with the aircraft to find out their specifications. It is a nice size and will not fit under the seat.

I need to update this -- the take-n-play trains do not fit. Sorry, it really looked like they would, but when I held one up to it just now, they are a little too tall.

It would still have to be deflated a bit to make it smaller or fold it up. Somewhat cumbersome on a small boat.
