What should I look for when shopping for a SuperCub?
This question has come up time and time again. Once Steve ?pours the mold? for the association, we need to address this question with a ?pat? answer. Think of the boys sitting down and trying to write the constitution, how many arguments did they get into before they (as a group) decided on what they wanted to say. As a group, I challenge my fellow members to come up with a single ?public section? answer.
I had the same question when I caught SuperCub-i-tis, but found that I was still pretty much on my own. The reason (I think) is because you never know what the intended use, skill level, financial position, or just plain moxie of the asker is.
If it?s acceptable to the members, I will step up to the plate and try to organize a collective answer by searching the site and taking PM?s on the subject. I will also need to PM some of the gurus for their opinions as the response progresses. SJ will be the final judge as to what gets posted.
Collectively, we should be able to address the basic question??I just gotta buy a SuperCub, what should I look for??
My thought here, is to attempt to put together some sort of ?electronic brochure?. The information is all here on the web site, but it?s scattered throughout thousands of posts. This wont be a journal that documents all of the Piper models and their histories, but rather, this will be a brief overview that will give the would-be-buyer just enough info to tell the difference between the SuperCub models, cover some of the more popular modifications, the common gotchas and some good ol? fashion ?horse sense? about tube and fabric airplanes.
This is going to be a tough one to put together and to do so in the least amount of text is going to be the real challenge.
What say you?
