Feb 2011 What’s the #1 Taildragger Ladies Love?
Would you believe the “Most Popular” type taildragger on Ladies Love Taildraggers is really a hard thing to pin down?! As new gals come and their airplanes change, the “Most Popular” morphs and changes too. What I can tell you is, right now, this is the #1 taildraggers our ladies are lovin’!!

Posted at 20:42h, 20 MarchThat’s a great intro to this site. I love my Super Cub…and I drug my feet in getting it. I was worried about only having 2 seats. I’ve found that it is just too much fun to worry about.

Posted at 13:17h, 01 MarchHere’s to Chicks with Sticks! Funny how the grass is greener, Christina. I “met” a Scout this year and the drool marks are probably still on it. Sheepishy I have to admit I think I wrongly tilted the scales to Super Cubs. I’m afraid the picture of the little yellow in the shop with the cat is my PA-12, the quiet older brother of the Super Cub. I LOVED that it was mis-identified and ended up in the video though!! Seems most people don’t know what a Super Cruiser is so I’ve submitted to saying “Cub” on the radio. I tried on “Super Cub” on the radio for a while but it just felt really wrong. If I said “Super Cruiser” around here people would be looking for a low wing piper or something. “Cub” creates some interesting confusion though. I laughed when I got cut off in the pattern one day by a C-150. I had a slight advantage in position when he heard I was a cub he promptly said “I’ll go in front.” So I hung it on the prop and let him pass (no flaps). Guess the mighty 100 hp C-150 pilot knew something I didn’t about my 135 hp cruiser. I had a good laugh with him when we met on the ground.

Posted at 20:56h, 27 FebruaryNow here’s a thought: A Supercub with a radial P&W hanging off its nose! Perfection! (well, maybe except for the weight & balance, but otherwise it’s perfect).

Posted at 13:08h, 27 FebruaryLove the Super Cubs, tundra tires, the gals that fly them and the crazy places they fly out of! Totally cool….although there is nothing better that the SOUND of a Pratt and Whitney or a Kinner..just saying…

Posted at 12:09h, 26 FebruaryAwesome video and the perfect music. I love seeing all the pictures. Thank you Judy.

Posted at 12:08h, 26 FebruaryWOW. What a fun video. Super Cubs winning makes sense: fun to fly, gets into practically any spot, good fuel economy, and a STICK;smart choice! Although I fly an American Champion Scout, my fly-buddies have Super Cubs and Kit Foxes and I hold them in HIGH regard (Ha)… Here’s to CHIX WITH STICKS!

Posted at 00:12h, 26 FebruaryGreat video! Super Cubs are great banner flying airplanes too! If I ever could own a second plane…….well, a Super Cub would be my choice!

What a great video. Those Super Cubs are fantastic. Mind you I am a little biased I guess!
Happy flying

Posted at 19:41h, 25 FebruaryGreat video! I hear only rave reviews for Super Cubs and I look forward to flying one some day! I really thought the #1 taildragger would be Citabrias; it looks like we were close! Here’s a plug for Citabrias and my home state of Wisconsin: I’m a 20-minute flight from American Champion Aircraft, located at Fox River Airport (96C)!

Posted at 18:58h, 25 FebruaryAnd it truly is “an everlasting love!” I’ve had my Supercub since June 2002, never thought of owning any other airplane. Not to say I don’t like flying or riding in other kinds, just this was always what I wanted. I love her swoopy tail, and eagerness to go aviate!
Great video, Judy!

Anyone?
Bueler? Bueler?
Judy Birchler
Posted at 15:31h, 25 FebruarySorry, Selina, Stinson’s weren’t near the top but your numbers are growing fast. It went more like this; Citabrias/Decathalons were edged out by a hair by Super Cubs, then Cubs, then Champs, then Cessna 180s. We’ll try it again in 6 months or so – surely it will be Stinson’s by then!!
Selina Smith
Posted at 15:18h, 25 FebruaryStinsons didn’t even make the shortlist??
Susan
Posted at 15:09h, 25 FebruaryAWESOME!!! Well done Judy!! I’m sure Wacos were a close second! LOLOL
