Piper Cub Rental / Instruction
 

Guys

Have been searching the threads for a reference I've seen here before, but cannot now find.

I'm trying to finish my tailwheel conversion (gone solo, ok with three pointers, not mastered wheelers) and wanted to finish it on a Piper Cub if possible.

Has anyone got any suggestions? I know there's a club in the South East that rents a cub, but I can't remember which one!

Thanks all.

Contact Stapleford. One of the Instructors has a Piper Cub which I think is available for hire.

Try Clacton Aero Club

Tiger Club at Headcorn 01622 819017:ok:

Clacton Aero Club is very good. I did the course two months ago

cubair at Redhill

G WLAC at www.wlac.co.uk, got to be a member to fly there though.

Is that a J3 cub at Stapleford ? or a super ?

I think Panshanger also has a Cub for rental.

Panshanger may have a Cub for rent, but on the downside it's Panshanger!.:yuk:

I think I'd go elsewhere :ok:

Very nice PA18 (super cub) at Thruxton, with several very experienced instructors who will teach on it. I did my cub conversion there a couple of years ago with Bob Cole as my instructor, and have nothing but praise for the aeroplane, airfield and instruction.

SuperCub Dual/Supervised Solo and Hire Rates

G'day all,

I'm interested in what the charge out rates are for Cubs in the UK. We often have UK pilots fly with us out here in West Australia, and they tell me that our rates are 'cheap'.

Dual A$200/VDO hour, S/Solo A$175, Private Hire,(wet) - A$145/hr.

Ours is a 1975 model, 160 HP engine, 230L tankage!!

happy days,

Last I looked, I think that Thruxton's super Cub was about UK£90/hr, which would be US$160ish convert to the local currency of your choice!

Its a supercub :ok:

Guys

Thanks very much for all the advice. I'll let you know how I get on!

Super Cub at Stapleford. Have flown it, great fun, seat of the pants stuff! £110 an hour solo can't remember the dual rate.
