1957 Piper Super CUBSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1957 Piper Super Cub PA-18A (N7496D) presents as a well-equipped floatplane conversion with 5,392 total hours on the airframe. The aircraft features Wipaire 2100A floats and benefits from a 2,000 lb gross weight increase STC, along with a McCauley Borer prop optimized for float operations. The 150 HP engine shows 1,061.8 hours since major overhaul against a 2,000-hour TBO.

Notable modifications include a Leading Edge exhaust system, Airwolf remote oil filter, and Atlee Dodge safety enhancements to the landing gear and front spar. The avionics suite includes ADS-B compliance via a Garmin GTX335 transponder, paired with a GNC 250XL GPS and PM1000 intercom. Additional utility comes from the Auto Fuel STC, Micro VG installation, and Airglass LW2500 wheel penetration skis for versatile surface operations. The aircraft's current configuration on Wipline floats makes it particularly suited for backcountry and amphibious missions.
