Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser for Sale — The Three-Seat Cub
The Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser occupies a unique position in the Cub family — a three-seat, side-by-side-front-plus-one-rear configuration that expanded the Cub's capability from tandem two-seat to genuine family aircraft while retaining the high-wing, fabric-covered character that made the Cub formula so beloved. The PA-12's Lycoming O-235 at 100 horsepower provided meaningful performance improvement over the original J-3's 65 horsepower, and the wider cabin with its innovative seating arrangement made the aircraft practical for families who wanted more than the strictly tandem two-seat Cub experience. Produced from 1946 to 1948, the PA-12 is less common than the J-3 and PA-18 Super Cub, making well-maintained examples genuine collector finds.
