An aircraft that needs no introduction. Fly one of the most popular aircraft of all time.
The J3C-65 Cub is a single-engine, two-seat light airplane produced by American aviation manufacturer Piper Aircraft. The J3C-65, which was certified on July 6, 1939, is an iteration of the vaunted J-3 Cub, which first took to the air in 1938. Designed as a trainer, the Cub is renowned for its forgivingness and slow speed handling and is one of the icons of American aviation.
The J3C-65 features an enclosed tandem cockpit, a traditional undercarriage, and a strut-braced high-wing design. It measures 22 feet, 5 inches in length, has a wingspan of 35 feet, 3 inches, and has a standard tail unit. The Cub is powered by a single four-cylinder, air-cooled Continental A-65-8 engine that delivers up to 65 horsepower to a fixed-pitch, two-blade propeller. The J3C-65 cruises at 75 miles per hour, has a maximum speed of 87 mph, climbs at 450 feet per minute, and has a service ceiling of 11,500 feet above sea level.
Notable for its short-field ability and ease of handling, even on austere airstrips, the Piper J3C-65 is an American legend. Countless aviators learned to fly in the Cub over the past decades, and it continues to enthrall pilots due to its time-tested handling, especially at the low end of the speed spectrum.
