Piper PA-11
The Piper PA-11 Cub Special is a later production, two-place variant of the Piper J-3 Cub light propeller-driven aircraft, manufactured by Piper Aircraft.
==Design and development==
The airframe is basically the same as a J-3, but the engine mount is angled slightly lower, the windshield more sloped, the cowling is fully closed and the fuel tank was raised and placed in the port wing.〔Peperell 1987, p. 55.〕 Both seats were slightly moved back, and solo flying was usually from the front seat. Early PA-11s had a Continental A65-8 engine, while the later ones had the option of a Continental C90-8.〔
Several current-production light-sport aircraft are being produced based on this configuration. On the early PA-11s, the fuselage was painted with a metallic blue on the lower half the rest being Lock Haven Yellow. The later PA-11s were all yellow with a simple brown stripe.
The aircraft formed the basis for the next evolution in the Piper Cub series: The Piper PA-18 Super Cub. The PA-11 and its successor, the PA-18-95, share many common traits. With a gross weight of . and average empty weight of ., the PA-11 is a light enough to perform well, yet heavy enough to maneuver easily in more wind than the lighter J-3 Cub. The PA-11 is capable of short takeoffs and landings, yet has a respectable cruise speed for its configuration. Given that the PA-11 falls into the modern day category of light sport aircraft it is a popular airplane to acquire and commands a premium price.
