I am interested in the Full Cub Club magazine library that was listed with the J-3 cub going up for auction.
Is that a digital library that I could buy copies of? or is it a paper library?
I collect piper cub material and I am having trouble finding copies of the old cub club library and magazines.
Thank you
Kevin

  This is a hard copy of the library that comes with the aircraft. I do not have access to this separately. Good Luck!
