"Dorothy" from Kansas

Rebuilt by Bob Townsend in Garden City, Kansas, after a hanger door had come down on her in a tornado. Dorothy underwent a complete 3 year restoration and was finished in 1999.  I purchased her in July of 1999 with a total of 9.8 hrs. on the rebuild, and flew her back to the "Emerald City".  Very, very clean cub! She has a Continental 90 hp engine, a lot more than the C-65 hp engine she originally came with.  We use Armstrong starters with both our cubs!

Dorothy is the model for the "Microsoft cub" used in the Flight Simulator Centennial Edition and flown by millions of aviation enthusiasts.
