I got these two planes from a friend but can't figure out what they are. I know the trainer has an OS engine and the Cub has a Super Tigre engine but I can't figure out the brand/model. They are from anywhere in the mid 80's to the mid 90's. Any help would be great.
Thanks

The cub has a wingspan of roughly 78 inches, and a length of roughly 47 inches.
The trainer has a length of roughly 60 inches, and a length of roughly 49 inches.

Not sure about the trainer. But the Cub sure looks like the Great Planes Cub. The wingspan is just about right too

That trainer could be a modified PT-40 with the dorsal fin removed, but the wing looks wrong and the seating in the front is not the same, and the hatch/nose appears to be shorter.
In the last photo the fin/rudder doesnt seem to be straight, leaning to the left? Not certain but that could cause a problem in flight.
