Narrative:
Departed VFR for flight training in (non-electric) cub. Was told on return by FAA that a transponder is required per fdc NOTAM. I have carefully read that NOTAM and it clearly says 'additionally this definition does not change the associated rules and/or services prescribed for the underlying/overlying airspace.' thus a non-electrical system cub would need no transponder.
