Remarks: J-3 Kitten Designed by Hipp’s Superbirds in the mid 1980’s, the J-3 Kitten is a high wing, single-place ultralight model airplane that harkens back to the Golden Age of civil aviation. Pat’s micro version is faithful to the fullscale thanks to the stick type construction. Both guidance and power are from a salvaged Horizon Hobby Beast, giving the model plenty of power to be flown both indoors and out. All balsa construction, 28-inch wingspan, weighs 57 grams ready to fly. Plan on one sheet.
