Post Buying a Piper Cub...

A joint purchase between myself and the old man....

Don't suppose anyone can recommend a seller Uk or abroad, we've drawn a blank on any so far...any website addresses would be great..

Cheers

Question

There's one in Flyer classified ads.

http://www.flyer.co.uk/classifieds/

Don't know if that's what you are looking for though!

All I know is that the one's I've come across fly around without radios!

I have heard that the Israeli Air Force is about to sell its fleet of Piper Super Cubs. It should happen by the end of this year or the beginning of next. Send them an Email and ask.

Where are you thinking of basing it JB????

Have you been preparing a secret strip between exams? I admit it - jealousy's a terrible thing and I've been looking for a share in a Cub for some time.

Flogged a terraced house in Liverpool last autumn and the collosal equity now sitting in the bank will buy a leaking water butt in the South East or a share in something with a wheel at the back. No contest really.

If you don't mind a copy, there's a nice variant on test at Old Sarum at the moment.

Not my project, but I do know everybody involved and have a fringe interest.

Thanks Genghis,

The site's bookmarked and I'll give it a good coat of looking at. Can I assume you'd give your engineering thumbs up??

Of course. It flies well too, although I understand that the "production" version may well need a bigger fin.

Hi PPT,

I think it'll prob be based down at Shoreham during the summer...my old mans LGW based but still lives in Yorkshire, Yorkshireman through and through - "Buy a whole street with those prices in Yorkshire me lad"!!!

I think he's planning to commute in it !!!! I did tell him it's probably quicker to drive !!!!

See you soon,
Rich
