The Piper J-3 Cub was first built between 1937 and 1947. The Piper Cub was for training purposes at first but became more and more popular over the years.
The Piper Cub typically uses the Eppler 140 airfoil. This airfoil is known for its excellent low-speed performance, which is ideal for the Cub's design as a light, slow-flying aircraft. The Eppler 140 provides good lift and stall characteristics, making it well-suited for short takeoff and landing operations.
A Piper Cub typically has a fuel capacity of about 12 to 13 gallons, depending on the specific model. This allows for a flight range of approximately 200 to 300 miles, depending on factors like weight and weather conditions. The fuel system usually consists of a single tank located in the wing.
Cub Stricker was born on 1859-06-08.
Cub Koda's birth name is Michael Koda.
Cub Koda died in 1 July 2000 of kidney failure.
The unit cost of a Piper J-3 cub ranges from $995 to $2,461 when new.
A Piper Cub can cover 500 miles in the same amount of time it takes a jet plane flying 250 miles per hour faster to cover 1500 miles. Piper Cub is flying 125 mph.

The Piper Cub, particularly the J-3 model, is not considered a fully aerobatic aircraft. While it can perform some basic maneuvers like gentle turns and stalls, it lacks the structural design and certification required for advanced aerobatics. Aerobatic planes are built to withstand the stresses of maneuvers like loops and rolls, which the Cub is not designed for. Therefore, while it can be fun to fly, it should not be used for aerobatic purposes.

Piper Super Cubs are no longer in current production, but are still out there flying. A good source to find one in your area would be the EAA, Experimental Aircraft Association. You can see them flying at the "world's largest airshow" in Oshkosh Wisconsin every year in late July. I believe there is a Piper Cub owners club also. Many companies are building Piper Super Cubs from the frame up, however they feature many modern amenities that weren't available in the original Super Cubs. There are even some companies that have improved the Super Cub's original design and sell them as new Super Cubs, however they can't call them a Piper Super Cub.
A Piper Cub or a 747 aeroplane? Size means everything.

There are now many different Pipers, but the first classic was the J-3 Cub, the first aircraft I flew in. It had 2 seats and weighed 765 pounds. It had a 65 hp engine and less instruments than my first car.
