apparently you can overload a cub

I always thought it was hard to overload a cub.  Not that I can fit in one, but you really should know in say the first 2000 feet of the 6000 foot runway....  but not.

I've got quite a bit of J-3 time but I'll be the heretic and say it flys miserably. Compared to an Aeronca which was leaps beyond in aerodynamics. The J-3 isn't really stable in any axis and while landing fromthe back seat is fun it's clearly not an indication of successful engineering. By comparison the Aeronca just flys more like a modern plane

My office neighbor did something similar by hitting the brakes too hard to catch a taxi way after landing.

Oh, sad sight.

two big guys lots of gear.  Full tanks.   It did not want to fly for 6000 feet on the runway, so they turned away from the crosswind and it stopped partial flying in a field beyond the 6000 foot runway.   The CFI of the new owner claimed partial loss of power.
