I bet with That 409 out front there isn't much stol left in it. Think I will stick with my little Avid.

What's a 409?

She's real fine....

Hahaha... Seriously, probably a way over modified O360 Lycoming.

Someone needs to explain to this guy that you will never get out of an airplane (experimental or certified) what you have in it, when you go to this extreme! Titanium panel? Seriously?

Here is a link to the specs for the IO-409 not quite as heavy as I imagined 266 dry.

He shaved 30k off what he's got into it Larry hahahaha if I was gonna blow 260k on a toy it sure as heck would not of been a cub!

Some people just cant understand - I would have put a $3000 C-90 or O-200 in it, painted it a lot cheaper than the e$pensive job - and left the rest stock, except for Grove brakes and wheels.

Still cant understand why a 1940's Cub us worth what they are selling for today.

Oh, excuse me - this is a 1950's SUPER-Cub - only 60 years old instead of 70 years old - guess the O-360 was stock!

My 11-year-old truck is probably worth about $3000 now - Hope it's an antique soon!

Maybe I'm just too poor - anyone got a job for an old machinist?

I just want to know how much that fancy paint weighs.

The "free" cub that was raffled off a few years ago up here by the ak airmans had a 250+ price tag on it... The poor bastage that won it had to cough up 86 in taxes before he could take delivery of it.. It's the stupidest thing I have seen in awhile. Too many rich guys getting into cubs now that are willing to pay 100,000 for a plane that was 22,000 new in the 70's and is beat to shit. As long as there are guys with little enough peckers to have to pay these kind of prices just to say they have a cub in the hangar, the normal working stiff wont be able to afford them.

I've been asked a few times what the difference is between mine and a supercub and I say "about $100K".  Guess I'm going to have to change that to $200K.
