The Super Cub Vx is 45 mph IAS, 5 mph above Vs on a nice day
I thought Vs was 43mph? Anyway, I find climbing at less than 50mph in a Super Cub to be such a steep nose up attitude it scares me a little
@Neil correct 43 CAS flaps down, 47 CAS flaps up – although no IAS/CAS table in most PA-18 types.
Mine doesn’t have a stall warner, but will gently nod at 35 mph IAS, and below with power, usually with a gentle wing drop.
On the shorter farm strips on a calm day 45 mph IAS is a comfortable approach speed, but am guessing CAS is probably 50 mph plus.
The ‘95’ Vs is 42 MPH no flaps by virtue of the lower MAUW.

Can I ask 35mph is with window open or closed? before or after lunch?
‘95’ is about 40-45mph, I recall mixing that as 45kts (did not believe it was 37kts)
