Meet Piper PA-18 Super Cub
The Super Cub developed from earlier Piper Cub designs and entered the range in 1949. It retained the braced high wing and tailwheel layout while adding power and equipment for a wider working role. It has been used for glider towing, banner towing and remote-area flying.
Individual aircraft are frequently modified, with different engines, wheels and equipment. The familiar Cub outline therefore does not establish a single set of specifications. Simulator packages should be read with the represented variant and installed cockpit in mind.

The represented Super Cub cockpit
Laminar's Super Cub guide identifies pitch trim, stick controls and the installed instruments. It documents this particular aircraft's panel rather than proving that every Super Cub has the same navigation or automatic-flight equipment.
