The roll of toilet paper trick used to be done at Old Rheinbeck (sp?)
Aerodrome in upstate NY, and then the guy flying the Cub would attempt
to cut it time and again. I remember watching in amazement as he got
very very close to the tree tops for the last several cuts. I don't
know how tightly a Cub can turn, but my qualitative answer is its
turning radius is oh-my-god tight at low airspeeds.
