What airplanes?
The Cub was an absolute pig with two adults in the North Texas summer, and that's not even as hot as you're talking.
In other Cub related news, my dad had to pull the C-85 due to chronic low oil pressure, and since the crank has already been ground once he's going to throw in a O-200 crank. Should take the little engine from 85 to about 100-110 horsepower
