Super Cub Aircraft Story

Super Cub

After years of being a renter pilot and dreaming of owning my airplane, my experimental Super Cub came to life with a first flight on January 2010. My Cub was scratch built over a 5 year period. I wanted a durable sport+bush plane that I could get the most versatility with and had delightful flying qualities. What else could there be besides the Super Cub? While I was building my airplane there was a package arriving from Aircraft Spruce what seemed like every week. I appreciated Aircraft Spruce’s easy online ordering, vast offering of parts, and discount pricing. My Cub is powered by an Lycoming 180hp engine that was rebuilt by me with help of A&P friend. I now have over 160 hours on the airplane and it is everything I had hoped for. You will find my Super Cub in its element at many NW fly-ins and back country airstrips throughout the Washington/Idaho area. I am currently building amphibious floats for it.
