Ready to try out back country aviation but don't want to spend $350k+ on a Carbon Cub? This little Cub is ready for adventure with all the right things. Keep her light and she will go almost anywhere the big Cubs go and more. This low time airplane has all the mods you want for backcountry adventures without the big price. Literally there is nothing to be repaired or modified. It is a simple and easy to fly aircraft and it flies straight and level. I have gone to great eWort to get this airplane as light as possible without sacrificing having a starter and basic avionics. I also own a 180+ HP Carbon Cub EX3 and I can tell you this light little Cub (no flaps) will land on any sand bar the big Cubs can land on. You can't carry as much payload as the big Cubs but with one person and a light payload, it will play along side the big guys and do it for less than 6 gallons per hour, and 1/3 the price. If you aren't sure if back country and tailwheel is for you, this Cub will let you dip your toe and have a ton of fun in the process. Very easy to fly. Logbooks are complete from when the aircraft was completely rebuilt and recovered in 2005 to the present. Logbooks begin in 1986, but prior logs were destroyed (in a nasty divorce I was told). Continental C90 engine.

About the Piper Super Cub
The Piper Super Cub (PA-18) is the legendary backcountry taildragger — a two-seat, tube-and- fabric short-takeoff-and-landing aircraft that has been the gold standard for bush flying since 1949. Powered by Lycoming O-320 or larger engines depending on variant and STC, the Super Cub takes off and lands in a few hundred feet, operates on bush wheels, tundra tires, floats or skis, and goes almost anywhere a small aircraft can reach. With a small but devoted community and a thriving aftermarket of STCs (engine upgrades, vortex generators, extended baggage), the Super Cub remains in demand and holds value remarkably well — including modern Cubcrafters and similar clones.
