Description

The seller is pleased to present N384RC, a rare opportunity to acquire an Airframes Alaska Super Cub that blends Classic Piper heritage with exceptional craftsmanship, backcountry capability and comfort. Rebuilt in 2014 and flown just 550 hours since, this Cub brings together an extensive list of modifications centered on STOL flying. Dakota Cub Slotted Wings, Extended Flaps & Ailerons, and Alaskan Bushwheels headline the ultimate build for pilots drawn to remote strips and adventures beyond the pavement. Prefer the water? 4RC is float ready with all the needed Wipaire Modifications! The classic character is complemented by striking Reno Gold paint with Dakota Black and Pontiac Red accents, a custom leather interior, and an upgraded instrument panel. From the Extended Landing Gear and Suspension to the Expanded Baggage Space, the aircraft reflects thoughtful attention to both utility and comfort. This Super Cub is for the buyer who values the timeless appeal of a Cub with the benefits of a modern rebuild. In 2022 the left wing was sent back to the factory, Dakota Cub, to repair the wingtip and aileron following a wing scrape. 80+ high-resolution photos, a condition video, scanned logbooks, and a full list of modifications are available upon request. Don’t miss the opportunity to own the best!
