Last weekend I went flying in a friends Cub here in Tennessee. I was in
the front seat and I have to say I was not comfie in the front of the Cub.

I wouldn't know! I have over 300 hours in J-3s/L-4s and I've never
been in the front seat. (I have flown a PA-18 from the front. It was
fine.)

A followup on this: there's a thread on the Piper Cub Builders list
(at Yahoo) about soloing from the front seat. The consensus is that
not only is flying from the rear seat safer (indeed, mandatory in most
Cubs) but also that there's more room and a better view.
