1946 J3 CUB WITH C-85. FROM WHAT I AM TOLD THIS PLANE HAS HAD THE "STROKER" MOD, (0-200 CRANK AMONG OTHER THINGS) AND IS SUPPOSE TO BE 100HP. I AM NOT A CUB EXPERT, HOWEVER, I DID RETAIN AN EXPERT OPINION AND THAT IS WHAT I AM TOLD IT HAS. (PREVIOUS OWNER TOLD ME THIS AS WELL) THIS CUB DOES NOT PERFORM LIKE YOUR GRANDDADDY"S CUB! MUCH BETTER! HAS THE OVERSIZE TIRES, ALASKAN BUSHWHEEL TAILWHEEL. UNIVAIR STC WITH UPGRADED LARGER AXLES, HEAVY DUTY LANDING GEAR, HEAVY DUTY BRAKE ASSEMBLIES, AND NEW BUNGEES, ALL INSTALLED IN OCTOBER OF 2015! NEW MILLENIUM CYLINDERS WITH LESS THAN 20HRS! BOTTOM HAS 1500HRS ON IT SMOH HOWEVER, RUNS LIKE A SEWING MACHINE. EXCELLENT OIL PRESSURE SMOOTH AND QUIET (TIME WILL GO UP, WE FLY IT WEEKLY). SENSENICH PROP INSTALLED NEW IN 2013. ALSO HAS NEW SLICK MAGS, PLUGS AND HARNESS INSTALLED IN OCTOBER 2015.
THIS CUB HAS THE ALUMINIUM RIBS AND ALUMINIUM SPAR! VERY IMPORTANT!
THIS PLANE MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF LIGHT SPORT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND.
THERE IS ALSO A SET OF CUSTOM COVERS INCLUDED THAT WERE SUPPOSEDLY $3,000 THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN USED! NOT NECESSARY AS IT WAS HANGARED, HOWEVER, IF YOU HAD TO KEEP IT OUTSIDE FOR A SHORT TIME THESE WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE.
IN 1984 PLANES WAS REFURBISHED WITH NEW FABRIC (STITS POLY FIBER) ALL NEW STAINLESS CONTROL CABLES, TAIL BRACE WIRES, NEW STRUTS, ALL NEW GLASS, NEW RUDDER ARM AND PINS, NEW COWLING. PLANE HAS BEEN STORED INDOORS EVER SINCE. FABRIC IS IN GOOD SHAPE. THIS IS NOT AN OSHKOSH BEST OF SHOW WINNER, BUT IT IS A VERY NICE CUB THAT DOES NOT NEED A THING BUT A NEW OWNER! IT HAD SOME HANGAR RASH ON THE LEFT WING THAT HAS BEEN REPAIRED, I TOOK PICS. IF YOU WANT MORE PICS SEND ME A MESSAGE THOUGH EBAY WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AND I WILL SEND YOU A LINK TO LOTS OF PICS, EBAY ONLY LETS ME PUT 24 PICS BUT I HAVE LOTS MORE FOR YOU TO ENJOY.
WE HAVE 3 AIRPLANES AND HAVE DECIDED TO GET RID OF THIS ONE. OUR HANGAR IS IDEAL FOR 2 PLANES. MY DAD HAS A HARD TIME GETTING IN AND OUT OF IT AND WITH A HAND PROP PLANE THAT IS NOT VERY CONVENIENT. SPEAKING OF HAND PROPPING, IT FIRES UP IMMEDIATELY, USUALLY ON THE FIRST TRY. WE DID NOT BUY IT TO SELL, HOWEVER, IT IS NOT IDEAL FOR HIM SO HERE IT IS...LUCKY YOU!
THIS PLANE HAS HAD A LOT OF $$$ SPENT ON IT, SOME AS RECENTLY AS LAST OCTOBER. YOU DON"T SEE MANY THAT ARE SET UP AND READY TO GO LIKE THIS ONE. THIS IS A REALLY NICE SHORT FIELD PERFORMER. BUY IT TO FLY IT!
WE FLEW THIS PLANE OVER 5 HOURS TO GET IT HOME LAST MONTH, IT BURNS 4.5 GALLONS AN HOUR AT A 65KT CRUISE, 2200RPM. BY THE WAY, I AM 6"2", 250LBS, WHEN I FLEW IT HOME A FRIEND RODE WITH ME WHO IS ALSO 6" 250LBS, 2 FAT BOYS IN A J3 BUT IT HANDLED US JUST FINE FROM ALABAMA TO UPSTATE SC A MONTH AGO.
WE WILL ALSO INCLUDE 4 SERVICEABLE CYLINDERS THAT CAME OFF THE PLANE, A SPARE ORIGINAL SET OF LANDING GEAR. 6 SPARE ORIGINAL TIRES, WHEELS AND BRAKE ASSEMBLY, A SPARE COWLING (ORIGINAL, A LITTLE BEAT UP BUT RESTORABLE/SERVICEABLE), A SPARE SET OF ORIGINAL MAGS, AND AN ASSORTMENT OF OTHER PARTS. THERE IS PROBABLY $2,000 WORTH OF PARTS THAT WILL COME WITH IT. IT IS ENTIRELY TOO MUCH STUFF TO PUT IN THE PLANE OF COURSE, YOU WILL NEED TO ARRANGE FOR SHIPPING IT I WILL HELP WITH LOADING/PACKAGING IF NEED BE. I PUT IT IN THE BED OF A FULL SIZE SHORT BED PICKUP AND IT ALL DID FIT WITH SOME ENGINEERING.
WE MAY BE WILLING TO ASSIST WITH DELIVERY, JUST DEPENDS...LETS WORK THIS ALL OUT BEFORE HAND. WE WILL STORE IT FOR YOU IN A HANGAR FOR A MONTH, NOT A PROBLEM, HOWEVER, WE WANT IT PAID FOR WITHIN 72 HRS OF PURCHASE UNLESS YOU HAVE MADE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS WITH ME BEFOREHAND. WE EXPECT A $500 HARD MONEY DEPOSIT WHEN YOU COMMIT TO BUY. DON"T TAKE IT PERSONAL GUYS, BUSINESS IS BUSINESS DON"T COMMIT TO BUY IT UNLESS YOU FULLY INTEND TO FINISH THE TRANSACTION NO TRADING BACK JACK, I PUT IT ON HERE TO SELL IT.
PLANE IS LOCATED AT MY HOUSE,
5414 HWY 39MOUNTVILLE, SC 29370

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HAVING IT EXPORTED, I CAN ASSIST YOU. I AM AN A&P AND WILL CONTAINERIZE THIS PLANE FOR $1500. YOU HANDLE THE ARRANGEMENTS OF GETTING THE CONTAINER TO ME, I WILL PROFESSIONALLY DISASSEMBLE IT, BUILD JIGS AND PUT IT IN THE CONTAINER AND YOU GET THE CONTAINER PICKED UP FROM HERE.
