I like the idea. So few guys I fly with at the airline are even interested in GA. I find it refreshing to fly with one who loves to talk GA as much as I do. After 15 years of professional flying with no GA flying, I was ready to get back into it. So glad I have, some great friends and communities out there that are a blast.

Waiting for the seller and my schedule to match up so we can get a J3 (with a starter
) delivered. -12F motors seem to be not as prevalent but they're out there. I even found a C90-12F on a Cub that wasn't even listed for sale. Luck and timing. I'm not sure I'll fly across the country in it but I'll sure scare some cows around here. Below are some helpful link. I also found a few Cub groups on FB that are very helpful as well.

Ya, everyone thinks they have the best Cub out there. Your money will go a lot further with a Champ or a T-Craft.
