The time has come to sell our beloved PA-18-95. She has just about every practical STC a guy would want in a “user-friendly” 90hp super cub, without defeating the purpose of it being a 90hp super cub.
N3671Z is a 1960 Piper Super Cub PA-18-95. Serial number 18-7394. We keep her at our farm strip in Clear Lake, IA 5 miles west of the Mason City, IA airport (KMCW). N3671Z has 2,937 TT. During our ownership the maintenance has been performed by Algona Aero at KAXA who has owned and maintained super cubs since the 1960’s.

We purchased N3671Z in December of 2020 from a gentleman in Western Nebraska where it had spent the majority of its life. Only reason for selling is our family is growing and we are going to be purchasing a twin.

Engine:
Compressions: 76, 78, 76, 72

Exterior:
Painted in red/white classic piper scheme. Fuselage fabric is 1970’s but in good shape. A few blemishes where restitched in 2012 but overall, in good shape. A few small paint cracks, but no major peeling or flaking.

Interior:
Front seat is cub crafters STC. The old front seat back was recovered to match the cub crafters fabric and installed as the rear seat back. This allows for long items like fishing poles, guns, etc… to fit in the rear down the sides. The original rear seat back is also included with the sale if you prefer a wider rear seat. Instrument panel is clean, simple, and original. No infills, patches, or odd openings cut into it.

Overall, I give it an 8 out of 10. Why an 8 out of 10 and not a 10 out of 10? Because there are aesthetic blemishes that would not rank as a 10 in my book. The airplane is in great condition, flies hands-off, flies very true, lands straight, and is very light on controls. Also stalls very clean. But it has your average aesthetic blemishes of any super cub of similar vintage. I have done my best to advertise this as accurately as possible and have provided pictures accordingly. I do not believe you will find any surprises. Asking $89,000 or may consider a trade towards a PA-23 Piper Aztec E model or newer. May consider a D model with the extend "E" nose.

My 1951 L18C was ex French ALARS, very sweet flying airplane, flew it down to Barcelona and back. Found it semi abandoned in Ireland and had it for around ten years. It had the 90-8F without accessory drives, so an Armstrong starter. I have a fair bit of time on the PA18-150 but must confess the -90 variant is a nicer handling airplane. Like this example mine had a pretty impressive 600 lbs useful load.

Lots of fond memories of our PA18-95 partnership.

If I didn’t have two Cubs already, I’d give this one a look! GLWS!!

We did a ground up restoration on a PA-18-95 several years ago. Great flying airplanes. We sold it and now regret it big time. Should have kept it.

I worked as an Instructor at Brown & Brown Aviation at Dallas White Rock Airport back in the 1960's. We had two 90hp Super Cubs used as primary trainers.

I also did summer time Agwork in a 135hp Super Cub with a Sorensen belly tank. When low volume spraying became the new thing it was perfect for the Super Cub. I could carry 36 gallons of gas and around 500 acres of chemical. I could start at sun up and fly without shutting down for fuel until early afternoon. :thumbup:

Looks beautiful. Interested. Is that engine easy to get parts for? Also wondering if you would miss having flaps.

Hi Randy,
Engine parts are not an issue. I have never had to source any for this particular engine, but have experience with others where there was no issue getting parts. No problem at all.

As far as flaps go, it would sound like a sales pitch if I tell you flaps on a -95 are unnecessary, but I'm afraid that's all I can do:)...haha...They really are unnecessary. I regularly fly with three 150hp super cubs. I land and takeoff as short, if not shorter then they do on any given day. We routinely land and takeoff within very similar distances. Them using flaps, me of course without. I think if you speak to anyone who has owned a -95 they would tell you the same. It is really enjoyable not having them! Just a very simple airplane to fly and maintain!

Andy agree totally, the -95 slips beautifully, keep it simple, no flaps required.

I agree with all the comments.

A 18-95 is the best flying of all the Supercubs and can takeoff and land surprisingly short when kept light. Fly it solo with an hours worth of gas and you’ll be really impressed. Carry a passenger, full fuel and some gear and you’ll wish you had a big engine cub. Really depends on your mission. I’ll have another -95 someday.

This one looks nice with the right mods to have a lot of fun.

Had an accepted offer and deposit made. Buyer learned of startling health concerns for his wife. Deposit was returned and it is back on the market. She's a great flying cub!!

Oh no! I hope she's OK.

That's a lovely Cub, Andy. I'm not quite done with the Stearman yet, if I was, that would be my forever airplane. I wish you were selling this fall.

Nothing better than a 90-horse Supercub. Just the right mix of wing and thrust in a lightweight package.

The new owner is going ot have fun flight planning a cross country home that only lands on grass strips.

Just curious, what is the typical cruise speed of a 90HP Super Cub?
