I'm not sure about the takeoff but I did ask him to keep his speed up on final.

The problem, if you call it a problem, with the Legend Cub is that they have doors and windows on both sides and with the both of them open there is a LOT of drag. The other thing is that he never slams the throttle but gently applies feeds it in. In addition to going up hill on grass.

Hi Ryan - good to know. I was jsut at Hampton Airfield and was lead to believe they were pushing new students to the LSA and Cessna.

I am so glad to hear the J-3 are still available (and hopefully recommended) as part of the PPL program.
