I can understand your desire for a Cub. I did my taildragger difference training in a J3 in Florida sunshine with no door, absolute heaven. On return to UK ditched the club share in a PA28 and looked for a share in a J3. Unfortunately the ones I looked at seemed to have higher than the previously stated empty weight and a lower MAUW. Being a big bloke (FB shirt size) it was either full fuel or a passenger not both. Dreams shattered I found a Supercub PA18-95 on a permit. Wonderful, loads of load carrying capability and cheap to run (C-90 running mogas) I fly from a 400m strip which we only seem to use less than half . Any of the cubs are an absolute delight to fly. The fact it takes twice as long to get anywhere is an advantage IMHO.
Sounds like we should have a PPRUNE Cub fly in
Good luck
