Hi Rowley:
I am sure WWW. is able to live with someone discussing flying with him and judging by his last post he has recovered from my stating my opinion. Remember this is a wannabes forum and when I answer or reply to questions I try to seperate fact from fiction. There is nothing wrong with WWW or anyone else giving their opinion on any subject, however there is also nothing wrong with expressing a differing opinion based on experience in the field in question. That was what I was attempting to do.

The J3 Cub configured for crop spraying operations and loaded with chemicals is not as "relatively tame" as the Piper Pawnee. In 1962 I bought the first Piper Pawnee 235 in Canada and having flown both types extensively ( J3 / Pawnee ) I found the J3 to be more demanding and less forgiving than the Pawnee. Then that is only my opinion and I could have been wrong.
Anyhow all of us are only giving our own opinions about the various subjects and we are equally entitled to express same. The wannabes will read the different ideas and come to their own conclusions.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no.
