I always enjoy Cubs, more so because you have to actually fly them. You can do 10 decent landings, then lose a bit of concentration and boinggg!

Pottering about on a summer evening with the door down and windows open: priceless.

You can get them in and out of just about anywhere. Good for a bit of clandestine air-taxiing plus you can fly a circuit without the ASI getting off the stop. I think they are more vulnerable to cross/tailwinds manoeuvring on the ground without due care and attention than on takeoff or landing. They’re one of those aircraft that have to flown even when they’re stationary...
