Default RE: why a cub?

I'm on my third 81" Cub

Lost the first one due to engine failure over some trees and the second one to Rx battery failure. I almost gave up, but it called me back and now I have my third Cub. Each one seems to fly better than the last.

I'm sure anyone could say that about any airplane, but there's something special about a Cub. I flew helicopters for years and what's the first plane I buy to get back into planks?

J-3 Cub

The "into the wind" discussion cracked me up. I was lining up for some landings when they cut off the camera and wasn't paying attention to the conversation.
