1947 Piper PA-12 Super CruiserSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Topping, VA, USA
This 1947 Piper Super Cruiser (N98959) presents a well-maintained example with a recent engine overhaul and fresh annual inspection completed in October 2024. The airframe shows 4,632 total hours, while the Lycoming O-320-B2B 160 hp engine has only 334.33 hours since major overhaul (SMOH) against a 1,700-hour TBO. The aircraft underwent a comprehensive rebuild and recover using the Stits Process in 1993 at tach time 2,297.95, after which it saw minimal use—stored in a dry hangar in Lander, Wyoming, and flown just 20 hours over that period.
Notable upgrades include vortex generators (VGs), Cleveland wheels and brakes, and a Garmin 696 GPS...
