Default RE: Piper Cub Kit

Nilo:

Cubs are truly fun to fly on a calm day when you want to have relaxing flying. The key word is calm day -- being a tail dragger, they are tricky on takeoffs or landings in any wind over 15mph. Every hangar should have at least one. My only suggestion is maybe going with a 4 Star 40 first, then build the cub. Learn drop tails with the 4 Star that is much more forgiving and will handle much higher winds than the cub.
