    I thought J3's had their cylinder heads exposed? Am I missing something?

    Most do, I am not sure if it is factory, an STC or field cert for the newer style cowling.

    That is a nice short take off on floats anyway you slice it! I guess it is a J3, I did not see any flaps.

    Looks like a PA-11 to me, sounds like a 90 hp (C90). The PA-11 is nearly identical to the J3 but it has the front cowling.
    Can do almost everything a PA-18 does, but at half the price. For the private pilot it is hard to beat.

    Some neat other videos to watch in the links after the first one runs...

    Super Cubs are awesome, but that little Taylorcraft was slick!
