1979 Piper PA-18 Super CUBSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1979 Piper PA-18 Super Cub presents as a lightweight, largely stock airframe with 1,030 hours total time on both the airframe and its Lycoming O-320-A2B engine. The aircraft maintains VFR capability with basic avionics including a KR-86 ADF and KX-170B comm radio. Recent maintenance includes a carburetor overhaul and installation of lifetime struts, with engine compression tests all showing 70+ readings. The airworthiness directive 2025-02-11 applies, requiring a new 4130 chromoly rudder by March 2027.

Equipped for versatile backcountry operations, this Super Cub features extended baggage, rear access door, and comes with EDO 2,000 floats (reportedly needing minor maintenance) and Aero 3,000 straight skis with Atlee springs. Additional utility enhancements include Precise Flight pulse lights, long-range fuel tanks (60 gallons), and fuselage shoulder harness attach points. The aircraft's useful load is 627 lbs, maintaining its original 1979 paint and interior. A prop log is missing and requires buyer verification. This configuration emphasizes the PA-18's classic bush capability while retaining its factory lightweight design.
