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.
