1959 Piper PA-18 Super CubSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Middle Sackville, Nova Scotia, Canada

This 1959 Piper Super Cub, registered C-FLQE, is an award-winning example of the ultimate backcountry aircraft, having earned "Best in Class" honors at Oshkosh in 2026. With an airframe total time of just 702.7 hours, this PA-18 was completely refurbished by a reputable Canadian AMO with no expenses spared, and it is described as being beyond show-worthy condition. The aircraft is powered by a Penn Yan 180hp engine (STC SA0035NY) with only 45 hours since overhaul, paired with a McCauley 1a200 propeller also at 45 hours since installation. A fresh annual inspection has just been completed, and the seller notes a scorecard of 10/10 across...
