Stupid super cub question
Don't laugh please. I am building a full scale Super Cub replica, all wood,
from Light Miniature Aircraft plans. fuselage is on gear and tonight I got the rudder pedals all hooked up with electric fence wire in place of the cables to test pedal angle, rudder deflection, etc. My problem ,is with no wings in place and therefore no struts. I can not figure out the proper way to enter and exit the front seat. I am 225 lbs but flew a super cub once and can not remember how I got in it. What is the drill? Now quit laughing and help if you can describe the best way. Thanks -- Robert Loer LM-5X-W Southern Oregon |

Sit on the door sill, with your back to the front seat. Swing your legs in,
then grab the windshield-area bracing, and haul yerself in. Works for Huskies, too. Jon "Robert Loer" wrote in message ... Don't laugh please.

Jon Not a good airplane for a guy with an arthritic back like mine. Wasn't designed for easy entrance or exit. Easiest airplane I ever got into was the Cardinal. As I understand, it was intended to please the skirt-wearing pilots of the day. And then they stopped wearing skirts. Dan |
