Piper J-5

The Piper J-5 'Cub Cruiser' was a larger more powerful version of the basic Piper J-3 Cub. It was designed just two years after the J-3 Cub and differed by having three seats instead of two a 75-hp Continental engine and a cruising speed of 85 mph. It was advertised as being a three-seater but pilots of the Cruiser have said it would be more accurately described as a two-and-a-half-seater because only a small child would feel comfortable in the third seat.
