Frequently Asked Questions

• Do gyroscopically driven instruments work in a J-3 Cub?

  Gyroscopically driven instruments require an electrical system and other complicated interfaces which were never installed in any J-3 Cub at the factory. Certainly, some owners have retro-fitted gyros and such, but the stock, unmodified and un-modernized Piper J-3 Cub that A2A has supplied has none of these amenities.

• What is a J-3 Cub?

  A Short History of a Small Airplane The progenitor of the J-3 Cub was the Taylor E-2. This airplane, which had many of the familiar lines of what would become the J-3, appeared in 1930 in the beginning of the Great Depression.

• How do you use the J-3 indicator?

  This device sits right in front of your face (if you don't have a passenger in the front seat, that is) out there on the upper cowling, and is about as intuitive and primitive an indicator of how much go-juice you have left as could be imagined. As you can see, everything about the J-3 is simple and, accordingly, elegant. 2

• How do you open the doors on a J-3?

  In the simulation, to open and close the doors you can use keystroke Shift+E, or left click your mouse on the door handle to open them from inside the airplane. There is no outside door handle, which is the common situation in a J-3.
