Makeover for Stapleford’s Piper Super Cub
6th April 2021 11:57 Europe/London
Some good has come out of the Covid lockdowns and restrictions – a stunning green and white Piper Super Cub based at Stapleford Flight Centre has had a year-long makeover and is now back at the Essex airfield and available for private pilots.
PA18-150 Super Cub G-BIJB will be available for pilots and students wanting to extend their flying experience with a tailwheel conversion once it has been run in and when restrictions allow.
The Super Cub belongs to Stapleford Flight Centre Instructor, Maurice James, who has taught there for almost 20 years. The aeroplane has been on a one-year refurbishment programme at Vintage Fabrics in Audley End, which specialises in rebuilding historic aircraft, and the engine was re-built by Norvic Aero Engines of St Neots.
