1957 Piper Super Cub | The Classic Bushplane

Let's take a look at Eddy's 1957 Piper Super Cub. It's a classic plane in a great color!

Excellent walk around. I own a 1976 Super Cub that was rescued from my good friends hangar with 363 original hours on it. After a complete tear down and rebuild it currently has 495 hours and gets flown almost daily! Nothing beats the feel of a Super Cub.

You have alot of nice Cottonwood trees around there too

1957, my year of birth 😊. I´m flying a supercub (1954) here in the Netherlands. No fancy stuff, just stick and rudder skills. Great fun!

The first airplane I ever rode in was a PA-12. My Dad took me up in it when I was about five years old. It belonged to his CAP unit in Florida. I've always longed to own a PA-18, but the prices are now insane. Most of my tail-dragging time was in a Luscombe 8E that Dad bought for $2500 in the early 1970s. His first Luscombe had been a factory new 8A that he paid $600 for in the late 1940s. They were practically giving them away because they had built so many of them in anticipation of an expected post-war sales boom that never occurred.

I learned to fly tailwheel airplanes in a Super Cub with a 90 hp, and no starter. Our airport is 52 feet below sea level, so 90 hp seemed like enough power. Do you have any information on the Luscombe that is in the video?

I had damn near same Cub; but stock gear and no VGs; great bird and would go anywhere these new Cubs for $300k will go

[anchorbrandranch]

How many miles per hour do you go in it?

If you haven't, come visit us at the Piper Aviation Museum in Lock Haven, Pa.
