I've never flown a Piper Cub but my Dad said he landed one almost at a stop once. You could even land one going backward but it would be trickier than it sounds. For that would require a significant headwind and those little planes are like leafs in the wind. You don't usually get wind that strong without gusts or gusting side components.

Just to be clear.

The plane WILL take off.
