Piper PA-11 Cub Special


The PA-11 Cub Special was an upgraded version of the J-3C-65 for the immediate post-war civil market. It had a strengthened airframe and fully enclosed engine cowling. The US Army bought 105 examples for Turkey through the Military Aid Program. They were designated L-18B and like a number of the civil PA-11’s were powered by a 95hp(71Kw) Continental. Around 500 are still airworthy.
