Of course there is no operation manual for the J-3, but here are the
figures given me in ground school:

Cruise 73 mph
Top 83 mph
Stall 39 mph
Best glide 50 mph
Green arc 39-90 mph (of course, neither is there any green arc!)
Yellow arc 90-122 mph
Red line 122 mph

That said, I would *never* fly a 60-year-old Cub at 122 mph!

Gee, I recall that when I got checked out in the J-4 the speeds were

Climb 50
Cruise 50
Approach 50
get scared if over 60 or less than 40.
