Description:
1981 Piper PA-18 Super Cub – $141,750 OBO – This meticulously maintained 1981 Piper PA-18 Super Cub is ready for backcountry flying or classic tailwheel fun. With 14,015 total hours, this aircraft was previously owned by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, where no expense was spared in maintenance. It features a 150 HP Lycoming O-320 engine with just 51 hours since factory remanufacture (SFRM)—the lowest time engine of any Super Cub on the market. The two-blade propeller has 1,450 hours since overhaul.
The airframe was recovered in Ceconite in 2009 and remains in excellent condition. It includes metal ailerons and flaps, VG’s, extended landing gear, a metal belly for easy maintenance, a 2,000 lb gross weight upgrade, dual sliding windows, a skylight, and aft-accessible baggage. Additional features include the Atlee Dodge Muffler Shroud kit, stainless steel control cables, and a drop-down metal belly for quicker, more cost-effective annuals.
Avionics include a King KLX GPS/COM along with standard instruments, engine monitoring equipment (tach, oil temp and pressure, altimeter, airspeed, and CHT).
The exterior is Matterhorn white with blue and red accents (recovered in 2009, rated 8/10), and the interior was redone in 2023 with beige nylon.
