Some great flying there. I wonder who the pilot was.
Can you actually fit two people into the back of a Super Cub?

That was inside the back (and front) of a Cessna 206
I wonder where ZK-BFV is today

Some PA18 Super Cubs, like BFV were modified to become "Pregnant Cubs" which could seat 2 (very good friends...) in the back seat. The cabin side longerons were bent outwards to create a little bit more room. Front seat remained a single though. Oddly, despite the extra cross section, they were slightly faster than standard PA18s. Must be "Area Rule" at work! |

Interesting, thanks Bruce. Fast even with the weight of a third person?

Interesting, thanks Bruce. Fast even with the weight of a third person? I don't think the Max all up weight limitation was changed very much, so the extra person came at the expense of some baggage. (not that MAUW limitations were observed by all Cub pilots over the years!). Standard and pregnant Cubs would operate at similar weights. |
