First of all, where are you going to base your Cub? Close enough for me to get a ride? PA18 is my favourite aircraft that I've flown so far, but never flown any of the smaller Cubs, would love to have a go!

Anyway, the short-field performance... the PA18 doesn't have any performance graphs in the POH, so I'd suspect the other Cubs don't either. Kingy's post suggests that what you're planning on doing is quite achievable, but we all know that every aircraft is different, especially when they get to that kind of age. So I'd certainly want to come up with some kind of performance figures for the specific aircraft you buy, before going into any kind of short field. Never done anything like that myself, but read a bit about it a few times, and it sounds like getting the figures together would be good fun in itself!
