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.

    Engine overspeeding at 70% power, to take off you must go to 100% power then as soon as you liftoff you must go to 60% power or else you engine will explode

    it is not the stock bush plane, but what the bush plane was modeled after, so obviously there will be similarities. Very good job on this.

    @Mudkip @BlueCobraCreations I saw the bush plane, and wanted to make a Piper Super Cub. It was made from scratch.
