I am very excited, I will be flying to Portland on Friday to checkout a Super Cub in Hood River on Saturday.It has been too long since my little winter indecent, I am ready to get back in the game.
I have only flown one hour in the last 6 months (although it was a Stearman )it is killing me.
Now if it turns out to be a good buy I just have to some how get it home to Indiana.

if you need help with that...

I might.
My schedule is pretty tight until September.

How are you getting from Portland to Hood River?

I rented a hot rod Chevy Aveo

I thought I might be able to give you a lift, but I don't fly into the towered big airport. I have flown into TTD Troutdale though. It is a nice flight down the Columbia River gorge.

I hope you have good luck Mongo.

I was mostly kidding about helping. I'm a low time pilot with all 250 hours in my Luscombe...not really the kind of guy you want flying your newly purchased cub.

Thanks but I was going to tool around a bit, I love that area.

I would love to help but I don't have any time in a cub.

there is an instructor a few miles downriver at Pearson that may be able to get you some cub time. They may be able to get you in touch with a gentleman that ferries aircraft around the U.S. Their number is;360-735-9445. Ask for Clu.

Brought a Stinson From Noblesville Indiana to WA recently, if you need someone to ferry her over PM me.

Hey Mongo - heard you bought the Super. Dish it man!

Glad to hear the trip went well.

If you need a ferry pilot/CFI, shoot me a PM. Sounds like a fun trip.

Mongo, Should you really find you need help, I might could squeeze it in, have a 12 I want to see back your way and a sister too. I have flight bennies so not too hard on pocket book. Cub time not an issue...........

Yep I got the Cub I just don't have possession yet... and it is killing me

The former owners (great people)have offered to ferry it to Indy for me for cost, but not until after his harvest, towards the end of next month. I am looking for someone in the Hood River region who would ferry it, but they would have to be able to do it relatively soon or I will just wait.

I am ordering my 31" Bushwheels next week , I guess I will just float on them in the pool until the plane arrives.


180hp Exp. Supercub
84x42 porp
Extended Flaps (in and out)and tail feathers
Squared wings and tail feathers
3" extended gear

She gets of shorter with 2 big guys and full fuel than my 7GCBC would with just me and 1/4 tanks (hell and 10mph headwind)

Pics!!?

I've got 5 hours PA-18 time, do you trust me?

If I skip out on my wedding I can do it in a week or two. just kidding...

Sounds like every guys dream, we need pictures.

These are pretty crappy pics but they are all I have.
The only thing I'm not to keen on is the cowl, which I will be returning back to a Supercub cowl.

Zane I'd let ya fly it here just to go drink a beer with you...
