	The Piper Cub
		Piper effectively took control of the firm when he assumed the position of corporate secretary-treasurer, although he retained Gilbert Taylor in the role of president.

	RC Piper Cub
		Indeed, the real life Cub was designed and built as a simple trainer for private pilots (and soon afterwards military pilots), and even nowadays is one of the most popular and loved private airplanes of all time.
		Flying an rc Piper Cub is a very enjoyable experience - they are one of the most forgiving airplanes available because of their great stability in the air, combined with the slow flying speed (these are the exact reasons why they are so perfect for full size flying training).
		Throughout the early 1930s, the Piper Cub evolved from the Taylor Brothers initial airplane design and was granted its type certificate and approved for manufacture in 1935.

	The Virginia Aviation Museum, 1943 Piper J-3 Cub
		While the Piper Cub served as the nursery for hundreds of thousands of pilots, performed heroic deeds in World War II and spawned a line of aircraft that became a main part of personal, commercial and industrial flying, William Piper remained a quiet, confident, small-town man.
		Strohmeier was in Florida and Piper was showing his Cubs at the National Pacific Aircraft and Boat Show in Los Angeles on March 17, 1937, when a spark from an electric drill ignited dope-soaked debris in the paint room of the Taylor Aircraft Co. The fire destroyed the plant.
		He said he and his friends flew the Piper Cubs without wearing parachutes, which would have been useless at the altitudes they flew anyway, and besides, it was safer to stay in the Piper Cub when hit because of its aeronautical characteristics, which often enabled the pilot to make an emergency landing.

	The Minute Piper Cub
		With dual controls in an effectively furnished cabin the Cub seems to be giving its owners what they want, as is evidenced by the fact that over a third of all commercial airplanes sold today are Cubs.
		Most significant in view of the large volume of Cub sales, is the fact that the Cub's top speed is only 84 miles an hour - fine for such a low powered ship, but nevertheless indicative of the intention of Cub owners to fly as they would drive their cars, safely and with economy.
		The Piper Corporation is leading the way in introducing to aviation a large and permanent group of supporters, to the eventual benefit of everyone concerned with aviation.
