SuperCub vs. Husky

[svcta]

yes, navy club - we used to have 4 but one had a bird strike and won't be repaired (on the wing to the spar). All others have had the wing mod done so they are good to go. Down to 2 right now as one is awaiting an engine change. they are all stock navy with the O-470. alittle doggy when its hot out but besides that a great plane for just flying around.

Quickly, so as not to drift any further, I only flew one with the 470, mostly all of my T-34 time is behind the IO-550. It really gives it a kick in the pants. I've been all over the US in one; it is a simple, fun airplane. Enjoy.

I guess im old and traditional, but Im a Super Cub guy hands down. A good 160HP / Leading edge exhaust Super cub with a navcom and hand help GPS will take ya in and out of holes and gravel bars than a husky dreams of. If you get someone who knows what their doing to fix up your super-cub, it'll fly as "smooth" as any Husky, with a greater payload and half the price.

Husky's are good planes, the only problem is that most bush pilots cant exactly fork out $200,000 for a Husky when some good Super Cubs can be had for $80,000.
