FSX Taylor J-2 Cub

Taylor J-2 Cub brings the pre–Piper J-3 classic to FSX with a vivid neon-yellow livery, tuned 37 hp Continental A-40 performance, and adjusted weight, fuel, and handling for a slower, more authentic feel. Expect a refreshed pilot, correctly colored 2D panel, and matching virtual cockpit window reflections with nose-heavy trim behavior.

Description 1 comments
The Taylor J-2 Cub was the predecessor of the famous Piper J-3 Cub. It was equipped with a 37hp Continental A-40 engine. I made this plane by using the default Piper Cub, changing the texture (i saw this neonyellow texture on a real Cub once) and changing the engine/weight/fuel attributes. The plane is slower than the Piper Cub and should be a challenge to fly in bad weather (just like the default Cub). I also changed the pilots face a bit (younger), gave it a correctly coloured 2D panel and as the plane has less power than the cub i made it a tiny bit less agile. Beware, the plane is nose-heavy, you have to trim it accordingly. Oh and i gave the window reflections in the 3D cockpit the right colour, too. By Aralez Esposito 2006 based on the default Piper J-3 Cub.
