1957 Piper Super CUBSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1957 Piper Super Cub (N57WS) represents a comprehensive rebuild with only 50 hours since completion, effectively making it a near-new aircraft with a documented 3,200-hour airframe history. Powered by a factory-new Lycoming O-360 180 HP engine with 50 hours since installation, the aircraft features a completely new fuselage from Cub Den and rebuilt 16-rib wings (upgraded from 13 ribs) with a 2,000 lb gross weight increase via Wipline. The airframe has been meticulously optimized for STOL performance with 3" extended gear, PSTOLs from Alaska Gear Company, oversized rudder and elevators, Acme shocks, and a Borer propeller with 50 hours since overhaul.

The avionics suite is centered around a full Garmin G3X touch panel with a 10.6" display, GTX-345R transponder with ADS-B, and complementary Garmin radios and sensors. Additional highlights include Oratex fabric covering, premium leather seats by Sport Aircraft Seats, 31" Bushwheels, Atlee Dodge extended baggage and steps, Whelen LED lighting, and weld-on float fittings. The aircraft weighs just 1,205 lbs empty and is equipped with a Tanis heater, lightweight starter, and Sutton exhaust. All STCs and 337s are documented, making this Super Cub a turnkey STOL competitor or backcountry explorer. Exterior and interior were refreshed in 2024, completing its transformation into a high-performance, modernized classic.
