That's interesting. The Supercub is an aeroplane that distincly underwhelmed me. It is a fun machine, but the handling compared to a Chippy is awful. Terrible ailerons (if you want it to roll, you send it a telegram 3 weeks in advance!). And use of rudder to keep the beast in balance has to be most un-natural.
Actually, I preferred the little L4 (J3). Probably even worse handling than the Supercub, but such fun to fly on a summers evening, from the back seat, with the whole side of the aeroplane open.
With a slight crossind from the left, the view through those big open doors, as the ground rushes towards you at, perhaps, 500 feet AGL, is just superb. As long as you are not in a hurry.
