The Piper J-3 Cub is a small, simple, light aircraft that was built between 1937 and 1947 by Piper Aircraft. With tandem (fore and aft) seating, it was intended for flight training but became one of the most popular and best-known light aircraft of all time.

Enjoy! This one is my favorite light aircraft! Flies pretty decent, of course not the fastest thing but works great!
