Description

2012 PA-18 Super Cub – Backcountry-ready and exceptionally well-equipped!

Built in 2012 by renowned Super Cub craftsmen Jim Richmond and Stan Franz, this beautifully maintained PA-18 Super Cub was designed for pilots who demand exceptional performance, rugged durability, and true backcountry capability. With just 1,258 hours total time since new, this aircraft is in excellent condition and equipped with an impressive combination of performance enhancements, modern avionics, and utility upgrades.

Powered by a 180 HP Lycoming O-360 engine paired with a Sensenich composite propeller, this Super Cub delivers the power and performance needed for demanding backcountry operations. Its USA35B airfoil, vortex generators, and gap seals enhance low-speed handling and short-field performance, while 3-inch extended landing gear, 31-inch Alaskan Bushwheels, heavy-duty brakes, and Acme suspension on all three corners provide outstanding capability on unimproved surfaces.

The upgraded avionics package features dual Garmin GI 275 displays and a Garmin GNX 375 GPS/transponder, bringing modern navigation and situational awareness to this proven backcountry platform.

With a 2,300-pound gross weight, extended baggage compartment, under-seat storage, and a substantial cargo pod, this aircraft offers excellent utility for extended adventures and remote operations.

As a certified aircraft, this Super Cub is equally appealing to private backcountry enthusiasts and operators seeking a capable aircraft for flight training or potential Part 135 operations.
