A PA-18 with even a smallish engine can land and takeoff in very tight places, and with a high-end motor, it really can take off like a fly: I saw once a 180 HP Super Cub equipped with tundra tires go flying with almost no roll at all. It took of in about the length of its fuselage.  Mr. Lorenzo Huffman with LV-GCJ, his own PA-18A that has been fully restored. As it is a conventional gear aircraft with significant power, it has quite a bit of p-factor (the tendency to turn in the direction opposite to the turning of the propeller), so it is not for everyone. But for those who master it, it becomes a formidable airplane in every sense.  Flying a PA-18 over Veinticinco de Mayo, Buenos Aires. |
