Piper J-3 Cub / Piper PA-18A Super Cub model airplanes

In 1931 the Taylor Brothers Aviation Corporation, which had been formed in 1929, was reorganized as the Taylor Aircraft Company, with W. T. Piper Sr. then being its secretary and treasurer. When the company ran into financial difficulties, manufacturing and marketing rights for the Taylor Cub, which had first flown in September 1930, were acquired by W. T. Piper who, in 1937, formed Piper Aircraft Corporation to continue production of the aircraft. These airplanes were used by the US Army under virtually operational conditions during annual maneuvers at the end of 1941, and it was very soon discovered that the little Cub had far wider applications than at first anticipated. The Piper J-3 Cub was a landmark design in aviation history, and many treasured and much-loved examples of this airplane are still airworthy today. When it was replaced by the J-4, Piper had built a total of 14,125 civil airplanes and 5,703 military J-3 airplanes. The J-3 was powered by a 65-hp Continental A65 flat-four piston engine giving the airplane a maximum speed of 92 mph, service ceiling of 12,000 feet and a range of 250 miles.

Certainly the most famous airplane of the Piper Company, the original version of the Piper PA-18 Super Cub, first came on the market in late 1949. It continued in production with Piper until 1981, when the company disposed of all rights in this airplane to WTA Inc. of Lubbock, Texas. The PA-18A was designed initially as a specialized agricultural duster/sprayer airplane introduced in 1952; it incorporated as standard a chemical hopper and spray/dusting gear, but was easily convertible for general-purpose use, and when production of the airplane ended a total of 2,650 Super Cubs had been built. The PA-18-150 Super Cub was powered by a 150-hp Avco Lycoming 0-320 flat-four piston engine, giving the airplane a maximum speed of 130 mph, service ceiling of 19,000 feet, and a range with maximum payload of 460 miles.

All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand.
