*OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS AT BOTTOM!! ONLY FOR THE BEST PILOTS!! EXTREMELY IMPORTANT*

Sorry, I know I uploaded this twice, but I fell in love with it and improved it! Even more cockpit detail and floats now!

This is the Piper PA-18 Super Cub. It's a 2 seater (this has 1), monoplane. It is a plane developed my Piper Aricraft in 1949. Since, production continued until 1994. 15000 models were made from that span. This plane is mostly used for bush flying, banner and glider tows, although this model is on floats.
