Did the new Piper fellow happen to mention anything about a
possibility of making a new generation of Cub,...bet alot of sport
pilots and non-sport pilots would like to see that.


Piper abandoned all thought of making any of the Cub series after losing the
lawsuit in which some idiot ran into a truck while carrying a commercial video
camera on a pedestal mounted where the front seat should be, a cameraman with
his pack to the panel, towing a glider. The plaintif's argument was that they
were negligent in manufacturing an aircraft with such poor forward visibility.

They also canceled negotiations to license or sell the Super Cub certification
to Huskey. IMO, that actually worked out really well, since the Huskey that
resulted from independent certification is a much better aircraft than the Super
Cub.
