No harm, no foul...I rode in numerous Cubs, before getting my solo in a Cessna 150. Then, bought a share in a 7FC Champ, and built hours around the Twin Cities, MN.
Just came from SunNFun in Lakeland, FL, and there was a Carbon Cub there with tricycle gear. Guess it’s all out there. Best wishes!
Champ was my fave aircraft to just toodle around in, burning VFR holes in the sky. It was my father in laws plane and he insisted in always being in the front seat. I’m 6’4” 235 so the balance was a little back, but no issues. He had the plane set up for photography from the FRONT seat, and my ‘job’ was to maintain steady sorta standard turns so he could take pics, mostly for aerial timber survey work.
We rarely busted 1500’ AGL. Why waste the fuel (and the time) getting higher? ;-)
Great fair weather aircraft.
Didn’t have a starter. Had to manually spin the prop- old school.
I can remember many a time when the cars on the road below us were making better speed than we were.
