Evening,
Have been searching all over the internet for the G force positive and negative limit on the Piper PA-18 supercub.
If anyone has an idea it would be apprecated.

The TCDS for the PA-18 is here drs.faa.gov/browse/excelExternalWindow/AB203AB0E89895AF862572090071F7CD.0001From this you will find the certification basic is CAR 3, as amended November 1, 1949. From there you can pull the CAR regs of the FAA website to get the limit load (should be something like 4.4+ and 1.8- for utility cat), however note the most light aircraft end up being gust load critical rather than limited by "G force".

The Super Cub might pre-date the 'standard' utility category requirements in place now? I should know but it's been a long time since I've flown one.
