The Piper J3C-65, an aviation icon, is renowned for its distinctive high-wing, taildragger design and exceptional low-speed performance. Originally designed as a versatile trainer, the J3 Cub was mass-produced during the Second World War under the designation L-4 Grasshopper, serving primarily in flight training and reconnaissance roles. Over its production run, nearly 20,000 J3 Cubs were built, including both civilian and military variants, providing initial flight training for an impressive 80% of US military pilots.
Today, the J3 Cub remains a popular choice in civilian aviation. Its simplicity and wide availability make it an affordable option, while its forgiving handling characteristics appeal to many bush pilots. Most J3 Cubs have been upgraded from their original 60hp Continental A-65 engines to enhance performance.
The Classic Aircraft Simulations J3C-65 features an optional modern transponder and radio, and a custom configuration tablet, all of which are hideable for a more traditional J3 experience. Utilising the latest MSFS CFD flight model technology in tandem with a custom engine start model, gear failure system and engine characteristics augmentation, the CAS cub faithfully recreates the J3 experience.

Simply fantastic! The CAS Piper Cub is just phenomenal. It's got everything you want: amazing flight model, superb textures, excellent sounds. When RPMs get low, everything starts shaking just like a real plane! The instrument needles quavering just like you'd expect, and it really adds to the realism. So many features for an aircraft in this price range. Finally, the float physics are simply astounding, the best I've experienced in the game to date. Same with the cockpit view, it's like a panoramic window, and the developer has kindly set up the cameras so you can easily jump between front and back seats. All in all one of the finest models I've flown. Highly recommended!
Für mich "unfliegbar"
Sobald nur ein wenig Gas gegeben wird, zieht die ganze Maschine derart und unkorrigierbar nach links, das ein Abheben nicht möglich ist.
Keinerlei Dokumentation anbei, schade.
Bei meinen anderen Flugzeugen ist dies nicht der Fall
I really love this addon. The very nice modeling with this attention to detail, the great features and the very well implemented flight modeling give me a lot of fun.
There is just one thing to say: this plane is just a joy to fly...I can not tell you how much fun I already had with it and I am sure I will have in the future. You can watch a video with my first impression here: https://youtu.be/odF_RJ8mats
A beautiful plane, the Piper Cub... and great simulated for the MFS... nice features like outside check and walk around
It would be great if the camera control was easier for outside and currently there is no checklist stored
For all those who are looking for a lot of attention to detail and like to do a bit of work on the aircraft themselves before flying, a beautiful bird
Probably the best classic Cub for MSFS to date, but:
Step on the brakes (while standing still on ground), open the throttle, and push the stick forward and... nothing happens.
And now compare this to the behavior of the A2A Cub in P3D or even FSX.
It´s a bit sad, that we had versions with much better physics (propwash? tail dragger ground handling?) already 15 years ago. Even without all that new technology that came with MSFS.
