Does anyone know of any good places that have Super Cubs or similar taildraggers that could be used for hour building in South Africa...recommendations appreciated, thanks.

Try Progress Flight Academy? in Port Elizabeth. They may have a Luscombe.
Progress flight academy doesn't have a luscombe, it does however have a C-120. Unfortunately it is not in service as it is being rebuild. So no luck there.
Try APTRAC in Port Elizabeth, they have access to a citabria for doing ratings and basic aerobatics. Also many of the flying schools in the Johannesburg area have access to taildraggers.
Have fun with the hour building!!

Surely there must be more than the above?

it should put you on the correct path
PS I fly a taildragger myself (correction.. used to fly a tail dragger until recently I decided to see which is harder, my prop or tarmac........... the tarmac won :sad:)
