This airplane is absolutely as perfect as a Super Cub can get. Just freshly 100% rebuilt from the ground up, it has all of the popular Alaska PA-18 modifications, plus a lot more. A Lycoming® 180 HP engine, Hartzell® Trailblazer constant speed prop, Keller double-slotted flaps, 2000 lb. gross weight upgrade, reinforced 3rd seat baggage area, headerless fuel system, belly pod, AOSS suspension, 31″ Alaskan Bushwheels® and a modern Garmin® G3X glass panel avionics suite. All the work was personally completed or overseen in retirement by “The Cub Whisperer” Stan Franz, the former 30-year Director of Maintainance at CubCrafters. He says this is his last Cub project, so there was no option or expense spared in building up this 1977 Super Cub as an ultimate Alaska PA-18 bush machine that has every conceivable PA-18 improvement and STC all wrapped up into one great package. This is a fully certified airplane (not experimental – so it’s ready for work or play), and with a new airframe, engine, and propeller, along with new cover, new paint, modern avionics, and pretty much everything else brand new too, this is essentially a completely new airplane ready for decades of fun and trouble-free service.

We’re just finishing up test flight and engine break-in, and then this modernized classic bush plane is ready for your 2022 flying season. If you’re interested, don’t wait, there won’t be another PA-18 this nice for a long time (if ever) and his one won’t last long!
