Thread: Supercub on Amphib Floats Wingtip Height?

    Supercub on Amphib Floats Wingtip Height?

    Get out your tape measures. I am trying to fit a future Supercub on Amphib Floats into a small hanger. I need to know some actual measurements for the following:

    Wingtip height above ground? (8-9'???)
    Width (wingtip to wingtip)? (36'????)
    Height: (max tail height) (10' 3"???)

    I would rather rely on some actual measurements out there than some measurements derived years ago.

    thanks for the help.

    The only number that mattered to me was the 10'4" to the top of the rotating beacon on the back of mine - and those are on wipline floats. Everything else is quite a bit lower.

    I saw an amphib 172 XP while up in Lakewood that the owner had fashioned a trolley to lift the front of the floats so his tall tail could get under the door.

    amphib dimensions

    Thanks steve the info helps but height is secondary in terms of importantace. I need to know the height above ground at the wingtip as well as the total width.

    I have extended wings and droops so my width won't help you.
