The goal was to get his Supercub under 1100 lbs empty, and she came in at 1125 lbs which is still extremely light. Most cubs in Alaska are 1150-1200 with lightweight mods. Still are looking to do a light weight starter/alternator, and a certified carbon fiber propeller, which should drop it into the 1090-1095 lb. range. Onto the 1949 PA-14 project. 1 of 236/237 ever made, with about 100 or so left in the world today. This is the 6th from the last ever built and looks to be the lowest total time PA14 currently on record. Essentially its a "4" place Supercub, but more like 3 adults and fuel. This should be a much quicker and easier project as it was complete when we purchased it. Currently we have it down to bare frame. Dad did multiple weld repairs, along with tubing repairs. Currently just finishing up fitting the interior panels, much easier to fit the side interior panels while the airplane is bare bones like this, vs doing it once fabric is on. We will be sandblasting soon and fabric was just ordered yesterday.
