Iconic in every form, L4 Grasshopper was the military derivative of the classic J3 Piper Cub, taking advantage of this light weight, high wing platform for observation and direct support of ground forces. Utilized during WW2 and the Korean War, the L4 Grasshopper spanned a vast array of service, providing excellent capability due to this classic yet effective design.
Spanning 54" from tip to tip in beautiful military trim, the VMAR L4 Grasshopper offers exceptional scale flight characteristics, with excellent low speed maneuverability & predictable stall performance. Amiable in character, the L4 Grasshopper is rugged and tough, with its size making it the perfect plane for midsized parks & flying fields.
Incredibly easy to build with a no glue, bolt together assembly process, the L4 Grasshopper requires minimal work, with a (3) to (5) hour assembly process. Fully covered in a Polycote ECS covering, the VMAR L4 Grasshopper makes the entire build process a breeze, allowing you to spend less time assembling and more time at the field and in the air.
Utilizing (1) servo per aileron with an ultra simplified 4 channel layout, the L4 Grasshopper was designed for electric power, making this plane incredibly easy to setup and maintain. Offering excellent bang for your buck value, the L4 Grasshopper is ultra low in cost, and requires minimal equipment to get in the air, equating to a full up build far less in price than comparable aircraft. Further this with a 2 piece wing that allows easy transport and storage, the L4 Grasshopper is easier than ever to manage in the hangar or at the field.
Easy to fly with excellent levels of scale detail and quality, the VMAR L4 Grasshopper is the perfect choice for beginner to advanced pilots, offering gentle flying qualities with scale realism that will be appreciated by all.

J3 Cub
Great flying plane once you get the CG correct. The instructions say 50-55mm. This CG required 4oz of weight to nose. used a online CG calculator. said it should be around 65-73mm. setup plane at 70mm. Plane required 3/4 oz. of weight in nose. At 70mm the plane flies great. Better than some trainer planes I've flown.
L-4 grasshopper
The model is built of balsa, and lite-ply, easily, and quickly assembled. Every thing bolts, or screws together. Motor mount is pretty drilled, and adjustable for length. Servo mounting tray is removable by four screws. It also includes pilot, and Guages pre installed. The covering is flawless, and all controls are pre Hindged it is a very nice model for the price. The only draw back is some of the included hardware, it works, but I chose to upgrade some of mine.
L4 Grasshopper
Fair. The wing joiner rod was about 1/4" too long. The landing gear strut fairings were a good idea, but unusable since they had been glued together. The servo mount was about 3/8" too high to allow connection to the pushrods. The tail wheel steering bracket, a folded piece of plastic, was too small to fit. The battery mount is barely secured with tiny screws.
