Hey everyone,
I work at a hunting outfit in northern British Columbia, Canada and am wondering what would be best, a Super Cub or Super Cruiser. Our previous pilot flew a dehavilland beaver, and worked excellent but that kind of plane is out of my budget. so i was looking at super cubs or pa12's. we do not have airstrips at our camps, so we use floats. so i'am wondering which would perform better on floats and can carry the more weight. i was leaning towards a 150hp pa12 because they are a little cheaper than a super cub and seem to have more room in them. but the thing about pa12s i dont like is they are very old and the fuselages on many of them seem to be coroded. and they are not stock with flaps from what i hear. any advice would be much appreciated. thanks very much
