Default AUTOPILOT PROS & CONS

I've owned two Super Cubs. One that I bought brand new in 1966 and picked it
up in Lock Haven.
It cost just under $12,000.

I prefer to fly in shirtsleeves, and certainly would never climb into a
space suit to fly. The PA-18-150, as delivered from the factory has an
excellent front set heater. It's the PAX that freezes. Although a little
tape around the doors makes it more bearable.

There are some things that Cubcrafters do to make the situation better, but
Piper never cared to change the airplane much.

RefrigiWear makes the heater redundant.

Good boots and socks, thick wool. Think winter motorcycle
gear.
