For something born the same year as me it sure looks a lot better. I'll bet it doesn't creak as much as me either. Beautiful!

Ralf, Very nice. What's the difference between a J-5 and a J-3? Bigger engine I'd guess but were there any airframe changes etc?

J-5A is 6 inches wider than a J-3 Cub and had a 75 HP engine vs. the 65 HP in a J-3. They only made J-5's in 1940, 1941 and a few in 1942, before construction stopped for the pre-war build up of J-3's to become the L-4 spotter planes of WW2. They only built 783 J-5A's. It was actually a three person design as it has a wide back seat big enough for two kids or two 1940's size people. Mine has a stroked 85 HP making 97 HP or so. You also solo it out of the front seat rather than the back seat as in a J-3.
** I flew 125 miles North to a pasture near Zanesville Ohio for breakfast this morning. I am flying it to Oshkosh next weekend. |

Just got back from Oshkosh. 8.5 hour flight home to Fayetteville WV (WV59), with two fuel stops, Joliet, IL and Middleton OH. On the way up a B-24 flew over me en route to Oshkosh.

We just had the B-17 Sentimental Journey here at the Warren County airport for a week. It went over my place several times a day all week long. SOOOO cool. You could take a 10 min. ride for only $485!
I bought a NACO tail light and a PTO guard for my JEEP instead and still had some cash left for about a 4 min ride. |

Those bomber rides are expensive, but usually they are tax deductible because the planes are considered "museums". That's the story I got a few years ago when a B-17 and a B-24 visited the Aurora Airport.

Hey Ralf.
Did you notice there's a new guy aboard with an L-19?
