Our Super Cub is a new and improved version of the Orginal Piper Super Cub.  We have added 4" to the width of the airframe to give some extra elbow room. The Backcountry Super Cub has been upgraded with so many new improvments that this page is not large enough to capture them all. (Click Here for Improvements List)

The Backcontry Super Cub has a gross weight of 2,400 lbs. Useful load of 1,200 lbs with 48 Gallons fuel. That means that after you fill your fuel tanks you still have 912 lbs left for two people & baggage. If you want, you can add an optional removable belly pod. These pods weigh 40 lbs and allow you to carry another 23 Gallons fuel (71 Gallons total) in the front of the pod and give 5 feet more cargo room in the rear. The pods go on and off in 10 minutes and are great for long cross country flights.

The average build time is 1200 hrs.
