The Piper L-4 Grasshopper evolved from the successful Piper Cub
series that took to the air as early as 1930. By 1941, the US Army was
in the market for such a light observation and liaison aircraft with
rugged reliability, procured four such examples and evaluated the type
as the YO-59, later ordering no fewer than 40 more as the O-59. The
series saw a dedicated US Army model emerge as the O-59A (soon to be
redesignated as the L-4, to which the "L" identified the aircraft series
as "liaison"), a type which offered up improvements to many of the
components to make the system "battlefield" ready.
Now VQ introduce the L-4 Grasshopper 120 size EP-GP . If you are a
fan of 4 stroke engine, 125 -4 stroke will be a best choise for this
model . If you are a fan of Electric version, with the big pilot door,
you can easy change the battery after every flight. This L-4 Grasshopper
120 size EP-GP was designed for light weight, so you can enjoy this
plane as a scale plane with flying feel like a high wing trainer.
