Harold Wagner’s first attempt to create a cheap twin was the Twin Super Cub, a PA-18 Super Cub with a second 125 h.p. Lycoming above its cabin. The upper engine of the Twin Super Cub was given 5° of upthrust; Wagner encountered some flutter problems in the tail surfaces.

In flight, the Twin Cub was certainly a strange sight - and there were two fuselages to maintain instead of one.

Harold Wagner poses by the noses of his second creation, the twin-fuselaged Twin Cub, which was flown from the starboard cabin.

The Twin Cub taxies out. Although the propellers overlapped, they were not synchronised.
