Re: [Flightgear-devel] Aircraft modeling idea/request: Piper Super Cub

[Peter B. <smo...@ad...>]

Gary,

Be careful what you undertake, there are a few variants to the Super Cub....Floats are the most popular,  but there are Tundra Tires, Banner Towing and more to be had.  But you are right, there is an abundance of information available, and a few thousand video's.

Looking forward to it.

Peter :)
