Buy a Husky instead far better aeroplane and a modern SuperCub
In my neck of the woods a Husky is a designer airplane flown by city dwellers. The working airplanes are Super Cubs. You can outline the merits of both, and on paper the Husky might win, but the bush guys prefer the Cub.
For the last few years most of my flying has been in a Husky, the first year on wheels and since then on amphibious floats.

The Husky and the Super Cub are quite similar except the Husky has more balanced and more effective control response.

Great conversation now that all the gang in Europe are awake.....

.....my favorite tail wheel airplane is the DC3 which most of my off airport experience was gained on.
