History:
The Piper J-3 Cub is an American light aircraft that was built between 1937 and 1947 by Piper Aircraft. The aircraft has a simple, lightweight design which gives it good low-speed handling properties and short-field performance. The Cub is one of the best known light aircraft of all time. The Cub's simplicity, affordability and popularity, as well as its large production numbers, with nearly 20,000 built in the United States invokes comparisons to the Ford Model T automobile.
(There is also a clipped wing version of the J3 and that is what I choose to do here)

@PowerRyder I could have sworn there was a rule stating not to share personal info somewhere round here but ok lol
@MrSilverWolf there are no rules about this case, so I'm going to send it to a certain friend, it's really important,
@PowerRyder I do believe there’s a rule saying that you shouldn’t
@MrSilverWolf but is it forbidden? he is my great friend
@PowerRyder like phone number? I’d like strongly suggest against doing so on the site
@MrSilverWolf so uhh, can i pass my number on to other people?
@MrSilverWolf love the gauges, but I don't know enough FT voodoo to figure out alt...
@Type2volkswagen because I couldn’t set it to anything els
New question about an old build....
Why does the Altitude Gauge works off of VTOL slider input?
@MrSilverWolf ok
@FeiWu I will probably not make that version, however if you want to, feel free to do so!
@MrSilverWolf can you make a floating cub? The seaplane version
Check out my modification to your cub @mrsilverwolf
@SakuraSaku thanks!
very awesome!
How does one fit 804 parts in a 23 ft. long, 9 ft. tall plane?!
@iPilot yeah lol, thanks!
Lol , this is almost 7 times the real weight, but lovely detail!
@MrSilverWolf No problem! Thanks for making great planes.
@Gestour thanks for the upvotes!
@MrSilverWolf No Problem!
@phanps that's fine lol
@QingyuZhou @Ryn176 thanks!
