Assessment[edit]

Good start, but the intro should be broken up into sections. Inline citations and references are also needed. --Colputt 02:25, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe link the units and stuff the first time used and use the metric system instead of lbs or provide conversions as below? 91.13.52.16 (talk) 23:31, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"With a light wing loading some can take off in 50 feet and land in 30." That would be less than twice the length of the aircraft !!! I'm no pilot, but is it possible that all the distances giveb in feet are actually meant to be yards? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.48.142.68 (talk) 07:30, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kenya National Parks[edit]

First, I am not an expert but was in Kenya during the mid seventies. Bill Woodley, flew a Super cub through the gate of the mists on Mount Kenya. That machine was not standard and had a supercharged, or maybe turbocharged, engine and oversize 4 bladed prop that gave it a ceiling in excess of 17000 feet. I would like to know more about it. I realize that this seems unlikely but it is true. He also flew the machine around that altitude during the Austrian Judmeer rescue from the North ridge of Batian.

Wing loading[edit]

A small plea for clarity. The present text mentions "The high-lift wing and powerful engine..." Would that be better expressed as, "The low wing loading and high power to weight ratio..."? Or is there something special about the aerofoil and engine? 2A00:23C6:9026:E201:69E6:4D68:3100:529E (talk) 06:34, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
