I always loved the RAF paint scheme of the cub that came with the Cub download. I always would pick it when I would be simming. Who would have thought a few years later I would be earning my tailwheel endorsement and flying one of these rare beauties a few times a week. Image

I got my endorsement! With a 15 kt crosswind to boot. Definitely a confidence booster.

Congrats! Is that a fairly stock Cub other then the wheel pants?

Congratulations!

In addition to the wheel pants, other non-standard items I see are metal prop, possibly wing fuel tanks, and... an antenna? Does this one have an electrical system?
