The Husky strikes me as having more in common with an Auster than a Piper Cub
The Husky was in fact the last and most powerful version of the Auster. As a young lad in the mid 50's, one of the highlights of my year was watching Ranald Porteus, Auster's Test Pilot, carrying out amazing displays of "crazy" flying as he hopped from one wheel to the other in the Husky at the Farnborough Air Show. The only American thing in the Husky was the 180 hp Lycoming engine.
