Default RE: why a cub?

last 4th of july (sunshine and 25 mph winds) i took my cub out a couple of my relatives brought out some sport 40 size airplanes they said
that i brought the wrong plane and it wouldn't be that good in the high wind i said we'll see, the only runway we had (a dirt road) was 90 degrees to the wind the sport planes had no problem taking off but come time to land and neither of them came back in one piece(thank god for ARF's) with the cub i was able to take off into the wind even though the road was only i'm guessing 25ish feet wide landing wasen't a problem either drop the flaps and u can float like a kite and land at a walking pace which is load's of fun
