Well since starting my Spitfire/MJ100 project my father-in-law has been pondering and started to look at knocking himself up a little bush flier... So we've been chatting and he likes the Wag Aero-Sport which is a replica of a J-3 Cub. I know a little of the history of the cub, but I was wondering about performance, range, luggage capabilities etc, and what modifications are possible to it, popular conversions (extra bag tanks?), and what sort of gear he would need on-board for daytime VFR only.
I know Hagar will have a million and one useful bits of information on this one for me....

This will give you the basic specs.
http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/4515/cub.htm
There have been many versions & modifications to the original design over the years. The rear fuselage is a handy place for stowage providing you keep it well away from the control cables. My old mate Chris Foss transports his R/C models to events all over the country in this way. Some of his high performance thermal soarers wouldn't fit in my car. I believe there was even a "medivac" version of the J-3 with provision for a stretcher behind the cockpit.
I'll need to consult my reference books to find more specific information.

That is the very page I first found on this...
Father-in-law likes the idea we can whack skis on it and use it in the winter as well...... Thank goodness there are no decent sized lakes around here or I could see myself making floats really soon
Basically what he is saying is at least 2 bodies, some luggage (read a picnic hamper the size of a Mini chock full of good grub), and a pleasant way to enjoy the view.
What have I started?

Hi Mark...!
Fantastic to read that you have got a "sensible" Father-in-Law....
...!
I like the idea of pick-nicking planes....
...!
..and a J3 Cub look-alike is perfect for the job, none of this rushing around in Spitfire stuff...
...!
You are not going to land your Mk XIV Spit in the farmers field, beside the river for a bit of camping* and fishing...
...!
...but Father-in-Law is...LOL...!
Cheers Ozzy...keep us posted on the progress....
...!
Cheers Mate...!

LOL That might be asking a bit much of a poor li'l ol' Cub.
It strikes me that an An-2 would be a more suitable choice. You could get the whole family & the pets + the kitchen sink in one of them things.

Ozzy and father plan on using the same construction techniques and process as used in Robert Heinlein's "Number of the Beast", once they made a transdimensional jump to the Land of Oz.
Although I agree on the An-2 as a better choice of a runabout.

Felix, if they do it that way the plane would included a rec room, two bedrooms, a full kitchen with walk-in freezer, an indoor swimming pool and a hot tub.

Methinks the hot-tub and a mini-bar could be nice additions

You could get all that & more in an An-2 - probably room for a small swimming pool. Live in it if you wish. You & your daft mates could also use it for leaping out of.
The more I think about it this seems the only suitable choice. Now all you have to do is to persuade Pa-in-law.

I don't think father-in-law wants an An-2 for the simple reason he doesn't want to be a taxi service to 12,000 ft regularly for a bunch of the great unwashed

To save a little cash you could get a really big piece of paper and make yourself a massive paper dart.
Who switched the lights off? I can't see a thing....... Hold on, my eyes were closed. Oops, my bad...............&&

Will I seriously doubt there is a piece of paper sufficient to support father-in-laws weight
Mother-in-law is alas a fabulous cook who believes in mammoth sized portions, and being the gentleman he is he doesn't wish to give offence
I have the same problem. When I first moved here I could count all my ribs in the mirror.... err not anymore
