RE: Need opinion on J3 Cub issue
Right, if we're talking about all variants of the original Cub. The lineage of the Champ is quite long also, as we can add in the Champion, Citabria and Bellanca lines. Then, maybe there isn’t so much of a difference. At any rate, I clarified that my comment was on what I saw in the 50s and 60s, walking around airports in my local area with my dad. The point I was attempting to make was the Aeronca, which was a very popular airplane also, is not modeled nearly as much, or offered as a kit or ARF, as the Cub is. The Cub has been and continues, to be offered add-nausiem.
There is no doubt the Cub is popular! I like them, also and Cub yellow is one of my favorite colors.
