Component Documentation Scope
Finding the exact part number is half the battle when maintaining or 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 organizes replacement parts into eleven core sections covering the complete airframe. You get detailed, exploded views starting with the wing group (fuel tank setups, leading and trailing edge assemblies, flaps, and ailerons). It thoroughly documents the fuselage framework, cabin flight controls, landing gear, tail surfaces, and instrument panel layouts for both standard and gyro-equipped aircraft. For crop duster mechanics, it also includes the specialized agricultural group components unique to the PA-18A.
Technical Identification and Specifications
This catalog provides precise identification for structural assemblies, including exterior panels, fairings, spar components, and control surface linkages. System-level data thoroughly indexes wing-mounted and fuselage fuel arrangements, electrical components, and agricultural spray pump setups. Structural specifications referenced within the indices include aircraft empty weights (575 to 701 lbs, depending on 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 supercessions and ensure full compliance with active FAA airworthiness directives before installing components or returning any aircraft to service.
