FSX Taylor J-2 Cub 37HP

Taylor J-2 Cub recreates the pre–Piper J-3 classic with a 37 hp Continental A-40 and deliberately modest performance that rewards careful trim and energy management. For Microsoft Flight Simulator X, it includes a bright period-inspired livery, refined weight and fuel tuning, a correctly colored panel, updated pilot details, and natural-looking virtual cockpit reflections.

About:
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.

Issues: None, except the made-up registration code :D


Have fun!
