The advantage of the Chippy over the Tiger is the former has differential wheel brakes, an art to master in themselves, but delightful once you have. The Tiger has no brakes. As has been said the Chippy is a wonderful-handling aeroplane, in a different league tom the Tiger. I've flown a lot of light aeroplanes; none come close, except perhaps the Jungmann, but IMO the Chippy even has the edge on that.

Of the Cubs, I prefer the L4 (J3) to the heavier Super Cub. It is just more fun! And I love that view out of the open side from the rear (P1) seat.

Avoid the Citabria - it's too easy!
