Eagerly awaited, the new NG (next generation) FunCub is here and, hard as it is to believe, the flight characteristics and handling of this practical favourite have been further improved. Light, strong and delightfully agile, the good-natured NG is now the perfect multi-role club machine with an ability to satisfy a variety of specific wish list requirements. Boasting an outstanding STOL and training capability right up to a fully aerobatic flight envelope that includes knife-edge manoeuvres and prop-hanging, the FunCub NG just keeps giving. Large tundra wheels make it suitable for almost all flying fields, it ’s a capable glider tug and, what ’s more, with the optional float set it becomes a hugely competent waterplane.

Sporting the same 1400mm wingspan as its predecessor the convenient two-piece wing has a strut option for aerobatic flight whilst the fuselage core has been redesigned, not least to accommodate a handy easy load forward battery hatch. Suitable for young, not so young, fledgling pilots and top guns alike, the FunCub NG is a model with the versatility to please all.
