About the Piper Super Cub

The Piper Super Cub (PA-18) is the legendary backcountry taildragger and the benchmark by which every STOL bush plane is judged. A two-seat tandem descendant of the J-3 Cub with more power, flaps and a beefed-up airframe, the PA-18 lands short, climbs hard off rough strips and shrugs off floats, skis and tundra tires. Built from 1949 into the 1990s and widely flown in military form as the L-18/L-21, the Super Cub stays in fierce demand among bush, glider-tow and backcountry pilots.

Buying a Used Piper Super Cub

When buying a Piper Super Cub, the biggest value drivers are engine time since overhaul, maintenance-record completeness, damage history and avionics.

What to check before buying

  • Engine time to overhaul — hours and years remaining drive price more than total airframe time.
  • Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records protect value.
  • Damage history — any prior accident or incident; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
  • Avionics — a modern glass panel vs legacy steam gauges materially changes price.
  • Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions — Piper Super Cub

How much does a used Piper Super Cub cost?
Super Cubs hold their value strongly because demand from backcountry and bush pilots is high and the supply of clean PA-18s is limited. See the live price range and median above for current asking prices, which vary widely with engine power, fabric and gear (wheels, floats, skis), STOL mods and total time.
What is the difference between the Super Cub and the J-3 Cub?
The PA-18 Super Cub is the more powerful, flap-equipped two-seat development of the J-3 Cub. It has a stronger airframe, larger fuel capacity and far better short-field and climb performance, which is why it became the definitive bush plane. The J-3 is the lighter, simpler 1930s-40s classic prized for low-and-slow flying and its place in aviation history.
Can a Super Cub be flown on floats or skis?
Yes. The Super Cub is one of the most adaptable light aircraft ever built and is commonly fitted with floats, skis or oversized tundra tires for off-airport and backcountry operations. Listings often note the current gear configuration and any STOL modifications.
