Default RE: Piper Cub Question

I have a GP .20 Cub with a LA.25 inverted . This engine has an airbleed screw for the LS adjustment and has been a real pain to get the idle right but once set , it has plenty of power for the plane.

This little Cub is a handful on the ground. I practiced takes off rolls till I was blue in the face, lol but it really paid off . The guys no longer run for cover when I bring the little Cub out. Be gentle with the throttle on roll out , once the tail is up it handles much better.

It flies very nicely. Some what like a trainer but it does have the Cub flying traits . On a windy day, you can fly it backwards and loops , rolls , ect , mild aerobatics are fun.

Landings can be interesting if you have a crosswind and wind in general pushes the plane around. And if you can master this little Cubs bad traits , it will make you a much better flyer .
