I have over 400 hours in the Chipmunk, and own a Super Cub. Sorry, they are like chalk and cheese. As stated the Chipmunk is a delight to fly, but like all trainers, easy to fly, difficult to fly well. I displayed mine and energy conversion is what it is all about. I always landed mines with a notch of brake, (original Cleveland with a bit of wear). However, lots of Chippy pilots will say no brake. Horses for courses. Look to the original pilots notes. Your instructor will start you with a notch or two for landing, less when you master the technique. All to do with rudder travel. The Super Cub on the other hand is IMO not as harmonised, nor as smooth as the Chipmunk. The flap application in the Cub produces a more pronounced pitch up, with a lot of forward trim. The Chipmunk not so. There are too many nuances to go thru here, suffice to say you are experiencing two of the most delightful tail wheel aircraft around. Enjoy!
