The story
Taylorcrafts came from the same designer lineage as the Cub but flew a little faster on the same tiny engines. Side-by-side seats made them the sociable choice of the grass-strip set.
C.G. Taylor designed the original Taylor Cub. After William Piper bought out his share, Taylor set out to build a better personal airplane, and the Taylorcraft was it.
