We have 4 Cubs at our 4000' grass strip (NY1) in Ghent NY. I've flown a Vagabond (PA-15) for the past 15 years with the 65hp engie. Hand propping. Fortsunately it has the Grove brakes and Slick mags, and a Venturi. Love it and fly whenever I can. We aalso have several other vintage ragwings on the field.
You can buy something faster, more modern type of aircraft, but to almost any old flyers like me there is nothing better than a J-3 CUB; not even a P-51.
I have an offer in on a j3 with an O-200 Is there anyway we can chat. I’m from St. Pete now in the Ocala area. Do you also have a Facebook or instagram page? Joe
Hello, im looking at a 42 Cub. It has a O-145 engine. People have told me to stay away since the engine is hard to find parts. Any thoughts on this?
The Continental engines have parts issues as well. I would not shy away from the deal just because of the Lycoming.

Nice video
The No ! thing to know about buying a Cub: You're paying way too much for what you're getting. There are better and cheaper airplanes out there.
