About This ContentFew aircraft define ‘stick and rudder’ flying more faithfully and distinctly than the Piper Cub. Aeroncas, Taylorcrafts, Stinsons, Luscombes and Cessnas are but refinements and alternatives to this flying legend.Even if you have never actually seen a Cub in the real world (this is getting harder to do every year), and if aircraft are your thing, you may have a good idea of what a Cub is all about. Virtually every pilot has either flown a Cub or knows someone who has. The most important thing this little airplane will bring to you is honest, true-to-life stick-and-rudder flying. This is often an experience pilots often forget after flying large, heavy, fast, complex aircraft. Backed by A2A Simulations’ cutting-edge Accu-Sim technology, you will be actively engaged in flying the J-3 Cub for nearly the entire duration of your flight. Even after flying it for a short time, you will feel your skills improve. Features

Best bush flyer out there! Select cold start and crank it up yourself (the Piper Cub is not complicated) then go tackle that 175 foot Alaskan field. Or, if you prefer the inlet sitting on the other side of that mountain, switch to one of the float planes. Unlike some add-ons, this does not have exaggerated flight characteristics, so you can leave your sliders where they are. A few words of advice though, (and this goes for the real Cub too) use the carburetor heat as much as possible, just not on the ground, as this will suck dirt into the engine, and start rolling the plane before you think you need to, especially when rolling out of a turn. The turn rate is surprisingly tight, but the Cub does not have a 400+ DPS roll rate, so you might turn a little more than you wanted to. I particularly like the ability to hand turn the propeller, which you have to do to start it, just like the real one. Other features are being able to airstart the engine, and use the oar that is lashed on the float of the floatplane, to row the plane around. Shift-7 is the magic keypress to overhaul the wearing engine, or if you brake to much on landing and manage to nose the plane over. I don't think it gets more realistic than that! For those who can't get the engine to start, this plane does not have an electric start system. Also, you can not spin the propeller from the f11 veiw. Either lean out the side from the cockpit view, or press A on your keyboard a few times from the virtual cockpit view, and it will take you to the engine start view where you can hand spin the propeller. For those who said their aircraft was shutting down mid flight, it could be because you did not have the carburetor heat on. Without it, even in warm weather, the carburetor will freeze up. I hope that helps!. Not happy with the flying. Needs work on the control surface input and reaction. Does not bank past 20-25 degrees. Not happy at all. If you like flying the J-3 Cub, don't get this add on.. I think $40 is a little steep for this aircraft. I purchased a bundle of the J-3 with "Air Alaska" for $25 -- what a deal! This plane's owner manual was virtually impossible to find (finally an A2A employee sent me the PDF on a forum). Cross Pixels [torrent Full]
