FSX Piper J-3 Cub EC-AIY

This repaint brings the Piper J-3 Cub to life in a vibrant Spanish registration, complete with authentic markings and a faithful color scheme. It is specifically designed for the payware A2A Simulations model in Microsoft Flight Simulator X, though it is a standalone texture set that requires an external purchase of the base aircraft from a vendor such as SimShack. Created by developer Jeff Trozzo, these updated textures portray EC-AIY, a Spanish bird well-suited for local flying adventures or short hops across rugged terrain.

Key Aspects of This Spanish Repaint

A2A Simulations Model Compatibility: This repaint applies exclusively to A2A’s J-3 Cub, which is known for its in-depth flight modeling and detailed systems replication.

Spanish Registration: EC-AIY stands out in your simulator’s aircraft selection, representing Spain’s unique civil registry format and adding an Iberian flair to local flights.

Piper J-3 Cub Character: Originally rolled out in the late 1930s, the J-3 Cub is an iconic taildragger with easygoing handling, modest performance, and an unmistakable silhouette. This model is often praised for its short-field takeoff capability and nostalgic cockpit layout.
