I was looking through all the paperwork that came with my dad's cub last night. I found the original log books and it was neat to sit down for an hour and read through them. I found it interesting that the very first entry was for a 0.5 hour test hop in September of 1941 that determined it was airworthy, but no one signed their name on that entry. The second entry was for 9.5 hour delivery flight the very next day. The cub then spent the next 4 years averaging about 60 hours a month with a bunch of months where it exceeded 120 hours a month.
During that time I noticed they replaced the tail wheel assembly several times and I had an entry that states they replaced every bolt in the airframe (with "every" underlined). It was also neat to read the entries from when my dad bought it back in the 60's. You could really sense the pride he had in owning the cub.
