I'm looking at a local Supercub for sale and have a few questions concerning it's history and status. I'm an A&P/IA so I don't have any concerns about determining it's condition or legality, just about what differences there may be and how that might affect value.
It was originally a 1957 PA18-90 and has gone through three engine changes - an O-200, an O-290 and finally an O-320. No GW increase. Going through the logs one thing I noticed was that the horizontal stab was replaced when it got the O-290. What other airframe differences are there between the 90 and the 150? Would it be eligible for a GW increase? Is there any reason I would not want this airplane just based on that?
I've probably got more questions but that's all I can think of right now
