potential with a 2-stroke .32 or 4-stroke .30.
Designed based on a full size clipped-wing Taylorcraft aircraft of
the 1930s which was the predecessor to the classic Piper J-3 Cub
Compact size is convenient to transport and well-suited for flying

The cowl will cover the range of recommended engines but the cylinder
head will protrude slightly in most cases.
The muffler will be enclosed in the cowl with a 4-stroke engine but
will protrude through the bottom of the cowl with a 2-stroke and
the cowl must be trimmed accordingly.
The firewall is indented to allow for inconspicuous mounting of
the muffler, close to the fuselage.
