Piper J-3 Cub

Mod BaconAircraft  6.6 years ago
Auto Credit Based on BaconAircraft's Piper J-3 Cub

A Piper Cub build-off between MrSilverwolf and I. Be sure to check out his cub!

Very simple aircraft, no special controls.
VTOL: No flaps on the real cub, sorry.
TRIMS: Piper added those whole elevator trims so you can feel special, just like those airliners.

Features:
- Realistic Airfoil, and engine
- Life-like canvas covered fuselage
- Semi-functional cockpit with gauges that are not as detailed as my competitor.
- Realistic speed.
- Unrealistic maneuverability
- Realistic control surfaces
- Working suspension: can take a extremely bad landing.
- A rather creative tail number. It also comes in OH-SH** if anyone is interested.
- A normal piper cub, unlike the heavily modded one of... somebody...

Instructions:
Throttle over 10%: Normal flight
Throttle under 10%: Descent
Cockpit view: Cockpit, what do you think it does?


History: (NOT COPIED from MrSilvewolf)
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.

    The landing gear/ suspension is most definitely not broken. You must of mirrored something improperly. @Pilothouston5
