I am 84 years old and I took flying lessons when I was just 14 years old in a J-3 Cub. I would ride my bike almost 20 miles to the airport and pay $7.00 for a lesson. Those flights are as fresh in my mind today as the day I took the lesson. What a wonderful gift the Cub has been to aviation. ( Written with tears of joy and remembrance in my eyes.)

Oh my gosh, Pete Conrad in a cub. My father knew him, and waxed about dogfighting with Conrad in rented Piper Cubs in Princeton back in the 1950's. Seeing him here was wonderful. Thank you so much for stirring that memory.

I'm a student pilot (but not of life...) and strenuously hope to be able to fly one of these one day, or more! Excellent video.

Fantastic video!!! I used to fly, and own my a Cessna 150. I soloed in a 1965 Citabria, and had stick time in J3s, Champs, but now I just fly RC models and always wondered if flying a model from a full scale could be done. I guess this video answered that question .......well done.

The only issue I've ever had with the "Original" Piper J-3 Cub, was the engine! The base 65 H.P. Continental was just "okay" for a lightweight (160 lbs. ?) pilot flying solo, in cool weather, at sea level. BUT, in summer? At high field elevation (anything over 3,000 feet) or off a really rough bit of turf, tallish grass or pasture? No thanks! I've found Cubs upgraded to an 85 or 90 H.P. engine to be much more fun to fly. And likely safer too! This is why nearly all of todays "Cub Inspired" look-alikes all use bigger engines! Most in my experience are 115 H.P. or more. And this turns a 1930's design into a safer and much more capable aircraft.

Guess it depends on which side of the pond you're on. DH Tiger Moth and Piper Cub together though.
