Piper Super Cub

摘要

In the process of completing its evolution from the 1935 Taylor E-2 Cub, the Piper PA-18 Super Cub developed a distinctly split personality. It became both one of the finest STOL working airplanes ever created- whether unmodified or equipped with an eye-watering multitude of STCs, wonderfully easy to maintain, worth enough money to be almost investment grade. But it also had a definite dark side, a Mr. Hyde persona lurking in an accident rate for runway loss of control and impact with obstructions on takeoff and landing that is painfully high.
