Must Dash! Piper Cub STOL + Bushwheels

1945 Piper J3 Cub
C90-14: 86 hours since overhaul!!

It's finally time for Must Dash! to find a new home, I've had some great fun in this aircraft over the last 4 years. It has won numerous STOL competitions around the UK and will take off and land in 30m.

Engine: 86 hours since major overhaul (2000 hour TBO)
Prop : 86 hours since new (2000 hour TBO)
Airframe: 4012 total time (will come with 12 months Permit)

It has 29" Alaskan bush tyres, Grove magnesium wheels, Grove twin pot callipers, discs and Steves brake booster vented master cylinders were all fitted new in July 2023. The complete system was rebuilt with single piece high pressure teflon lines and is a delight to use. I guarantee you won’t find a cub with a better braking system.

The engine was overhauled in 2023 and had all of the internal rotating assemblies balanced at the same time for super smooth running.

The prop is a carbon fibre ground adjustable unit made by Sensenich. It takes abut 10 mins to adjust for STOL or cruise.

I do have a fixed pitch wooden Hercules prop if you prefer the look of the more traditional wooden prop on a cub.

The engine is fitted with a full flow oil filter and is replaced every 50 hours at the oil change. An Antisplat air-oil separator keeps the belly clean.
