I have a question for you all,
To install an electrical system and a gross weight increase to 1750 lbs on an older early model PA-18-105 Supercub does it require any STC's or field approvals or can it be done using standard drawings and what sort of paperwork would have to be done to keep it legal. It would be done at the same time as an engine upgrade with appropriate STC's for the upgrade of the engine.
I'm in the process of trying to decide on should I rebuild a Supercub Stock "105 Special" or put a few upgrades in, I know the opinion will probably be towards "LIGHT and STOCK with NO ELECTRIC" and I do not totally disagree with this and might rebuild it this way, but I would also like to have one of the "150 HP Supercubs" and want to find out what is available and how I would have to go about it with what I am starting from to see how involved it will be.
Thanks in advance for your opinions.
David.
