[Rhodes22-list] Flying in Alaska

[Art Czerwonky]

Mike,

Flying any of the well-powered tail draggers is sheer joy.  The Super Cub is one of those.  Now, the standard cub also, but lack of power was a real limit to any performanca.  The immediate successor, the Tri-Pacer, with tricycle gear just didn't pack it at all - the Flying Brick.
