As my nickname suggests, I fly Piper PA19, which is a civilized version of the L-18C. Basically a PA18 with large windows and a 95HP Rolls Royce engine.
The handling on ground is the most tricky part. You'll never go really in a straight line on tarmac, grass is better, and the takeoff roll and landing roll is hard working. Also, rudder and brake pedals are reversed to the normal cessna types. Landings are a bit different feeling due to the bungees. Besides that, I find it very much flying like a c152. My Cub has no flaps, so sideslips are often used.
I like the 19 most because I soloed in it maybe.
