Overview
The HBZ Wing Struts with Screws are essential replacement parts designed specifically for the HobbyZone Super Cub LP, one of the most popular trainer aircraft in the RC hobby UK market. These wing struts are critical structural components that maintain the wing's integrity and flight characteristics, making them indispensable for any Super Cub LP pilot who wants to keep their aircraft in peak flying condition. Whether you've suffered a crash during landing practice, need to replace worn components, or are undertaking a full restoration of your model, these genuine HobbyZone wing struts with their included screws provide a reliable solution to get your trainer back in the air quickly and safely.
Wing struts on high-wing aircraft like the Super Cub LP serve a crucial aerodynamic and structural function. They brace the wing to the fuselage, distributing flight loads and ensuring the wing maintains its correct angle of attack during flight. Damaged or missing struts can compromise stability, handling and safety, making prompt replacement essential. RC Model Shop stocks genuine HobbyZone replacement parts like these wing struts as part of our comprehensive Super Cub LP spares and upgrades range, helping you maintain your investment and extend the flying life of your model aircraft.
These wing struts are perfect for anyone flying Super Cub EP or LP variants who has experienced impact damage, or for builders maintaining a fleet of trainer aircraft. Available in stock now from RC Model Shop, they're backed by our commitment to stocking genuine HobbyZone components that match the quality and fit of your original equipment.

- Essential Structural Components — Wing struts are critical for maintaining proper wing bracing and fuselage integrity during flight, directly contributing to stable handling and safe operation of your trainer aircraft.

Technical Performance
The HBZ Wing Struts with Screws represent authentic HobbyZone engineering designed specifically for the Super Cub LP training aircraft. Wing struts on high-wing trainers like the Super Cub function as critical bracing members between the wing structure and the fuselage, transferring aerodynamic loads from the wing to the main airframe during flight. These struts must maintain precise alignment and structural integrity to preserve the aircraft's flight envelope and handling characteristics. The inclusion of mounting screws ensures you have all hardware needed for proper installation without requiring trips to multiple suppliers. For pilots in the UK flying Super Cub trainers, maintaining genuine component stocks is essential for quick repairs and to minimise downtime between training sessions. These replacement struts allow you to restore damaged aircraft to full service or maintain backup models without compromising on quality or fit accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wing struts compatible with my Super Cub S or other Super Cub variants? — These struts are specified for the Super Cub EP and Super Cub LP models. Always check your aircraft manual and verify the exact model number before ordering replacement parts, as different Super Cub variants may have different structural components. Contact RC Model Shop if you need confirmation of compatibility for your specific model.
- What causes wing struts to fail or need replacement? — Wing struts typically require replacement after impact damage from hard landings, crash incidents, or nose-over accidents. They can also develop structural fatigue over time with heavy use. Since struts brace the wing to the fuselage, any visible bending, cracks, or loose connections warrant immediate replacement to maintain safe flight operations.
- Can I install these wing struts myself? — Yes, wing struts are relatively straightforward to install for anyone with basic model aircraft maintenance skills. The task requires only simple hand tools and typically takes less than 30 minutes. Your Super Cub manual provides installation guidance, and our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop can offer advice if you have specific questions about the installation process.
- Do the screws come with these struts or do I need to buy them separately? — All necessary mounting screws are included with these HBZ Wing Struts, so you have a complete replacement solution without needing to source additional hardware from elsewhere.
- How do I know if my wing struts are damaged? — Inspect your struts for visible bending, cracks, splintering, or separation from mounting points. If your aircraft exhibits unstable handling, wing flutter, or you've had a significant crash, inspect the struts carefully. Any visible damage warrants replacement to maintain safe, predictable flight characteristics.
- What is the difference between Super Cub EP and LP wing struts? — The HBZ7122 wing struts are compatible with both Super Cub EP (electric powered) and Super Cub LP (low-powered) variants, as these models share the same wing structure and bracing design.
