The Piper aircraft is one of the most popular brands in the general aviation industry. The Piper Super Cub is one of the most widely sought after single engine aircraft on the market, with a multi-decade production run. Starting in the 1940s, the Super Cub was produced as a simple single engine aircraft that could deliver both performance and flexibility.
Today’s Super Cubs you’ll find on the market will have a production run from 1988 to 1994. Over the years, the Super Cub has changed throughout the years but one thing remains the same: affordable power and supple engineering that fills many roles.
The Piper Super Cub comes with several engine options: a 150 horsepower Lycoming engine, a 108 horsepower engine or a 90 horsepower Continental.
Many pilots may question why someone may want a lower horsepower engine. The answer is simple: lower power delivers more refined flying capability.
A lower powered airplane is better for agricultural and shorter mission ranges. The lower power engine also allows a much shorter takeoff length, actually around 400 feet! The higher power engine allows the Super Cub to be converted to a float plane or skiplane. There’s also an optional spraying applicator, perfect for the agricultural pilot.
Another characteristic feature of the Piper Super Cub is its standard rag and tube construction. This means that the frame is stretched tightly with a thick fabric that protects the cabin and internal parts. The Super Cub is very light, weighing only around 1500 pounds empty. This unique and fun plane is perfect for both hobbyist and professional pilot alike!
