Description
This is a classic 1946 Piper J-3 Cub. Only 19,073 J-3s were made between 1938 and 1947. It's a high-wing plane with a simple design. It has a strong, rectangular wing and is powered by an air-cooled, flat-4 piston engine. The plane's body is made of welded steel covered in fabric, with two seats arranged one behind the other. The Cub was made to be a trainer plane, and it became popular for both training and general flying. This particular J-3 Cub, registration ZS-AYC, has a well-documented history with detailed records. It has been well-maintained by its owners and stored in a hangar.
