Summary

“	The Piper PA-18 Super Cub is a two-seat, single-engine monoplane introduced in 1949. It's known for its ability to takeoff & land in very short distances, as well as its unmatched ability to handle harsh environments. It has a cruise speed of 100 kn (185 km/h) and a range of 400 nmi (741 km). Bush pilots love the Super Cub for STOL and off-airport operations.	”
