Component Documentation
Finding the exact part number is usually half the battle when restoring a legacy Super Cub. This 1982 final revision serves as the definitive reference for component identification across the entire PA-18 production run.
The catalog breaks down replacement parts into eleven core sections covering the complete airframe. You get highly detailed, exploded views of the wing group, including fuel tank setups, leading and trailing edges, flaps, and ailerons. It also thoroughly maps out the fuselage framework, cabin flight controls, landing gear, tail surfaces, and instrument panel layouts for both standard and gyro-equipped aircraft. Working on a crop duster? The manual includes the specialized agricultural components unique to the PA-18A.
Technical Identification and Specifications
Precision matters. This catalog provides exact identification for structural assemblies like exterior panels, fairings, spar components, and control surface linkages. System-level data thoroughly indexes wing-mounted and fuselage fuel arrangements, electrical systems, and agricultural spray pump setups.
You will also find structural specifications referenced directly within the indices. These include aircraft empty weights (575 to 701 lbs, depending on the engine), total wing surface area (150 sq. ft.), and maximum takeoff weight benchmarks (1220 to 1350 lbs).
This historic catalog is an invaluable reference for structural breakdowns and legacy component identification. Always verify current part supersessions and ensure full compliance with active FAA airworthiness directives before installing components or returning any aircraft to service.
