FS Cub is seems pretty real

I was driving past my local airport the other day and I was watching a Piper Cub doing some touch and goes.  I was really noticing how it floated around gently in the air, and then went home to see how close the FS Cub looked to a real Cub.  I was happy to see that the way the Cub climbed and scooted around in a turn looked really close.  

Here are some pics from the flight.

Nice pics!

The J3 Cub should become a standard/default aircraft for future MSFS versions as well.
It`s one of my favorites and certainly a classic.

The same goes for the DC-3.

The first image is out of Sky Harbor using Lago's scenery.  The rest were taken at the default Arlington Mun. in WA.  I was doing touch and goes on the grass runway. ;D
