John Garrand Save up about $150 go down to the local Aero Club (if you have one) and ask to do a trial flight, they offer short 20-30 minute flights for about that price, you do the landings, take offs and about anything you like in the air. You wont regret the adrenaline rush of landing I tell you that.

My friend, please do not give up on your dream! your ambition is Honorable, I promise you. Do not listen to other people who put you down. Listen to yourself, it is not about money or how old you are, it is only about will. The fist step, is to do what cinamin45 told you. Do not worry about money, live your dream... and life will give you opportunity to have money. That is what I am doing right now. Not rich, and about same age as you, I save all I got to take flying lessons. I know that I will realize my dream. It does not matter how, I know I will succeed. That's it! Do the first step. Better live with errors than not taking actions. Good luck my friend

I made my first solo in 1955 in N3531N at St Charles Airport, MO. $6.00/hr for the Cub (included gas & oil) and $3.00/hr for the instructor. Soled in 8 hours and got my private ticket in 41.5 hours, all in a Cub from a grass field. The written test was 50 multiple choice questions, and my 3rd class physical was given by the family doctor. I recently gave up flying since the cost of renting an airplane was eating up my social security budget.

@@aviation4lifenz132 .. Id really like to help you.😎 I took my first lesson at TEN. Had my ratings as a teen. 50+ yrs ago. Today it will cost about $130 hr for instruction in C150. ground and air. Most instructors Ive been around the last 40 yrs are incompetent at teaching and not much better at flying. Sad to say. Find an old timer that you relate to before you waste money. You can learn more from good instructor in 20 min than you can from a bad instructor in an hour. CP/AP 50 yrs 2k hr TG/bush. 4k TT Please allow me to illustrate. My friend has 3k hrs as an instructor. 6k TT. He hadnt flown in 2 yrs and needed a bienniel. A 30 year old female instructor with 600 hr total time told him that he required THREE HOURS of dual before she would sign him off. Guess what he did. He found a 77 yr old instructor that owned his own airplane and they went out and started a friendship.😎 start asking for rides at a "grass strip"👍

If the engine fails at altitude you glide to the nearest field. You cant restart the engine, now there are ways of using the wind to torque the prop and maybe restart the engine, but you are not supposed to do that with the normal cub engine.

@JimForeman
6 жыл бұрын
They cost more on the ground than it does to fly them. Hangar space, insurance, taxes, annual inspections and runout on the cover. A new cover job will run $3-5,000, that is if you can find someone who will do it any more.

Here's an answer from somebody who actually owns a Cub. Hangar rent is 150-1000 a month depending on where you keep the airplane. Maintenance tends to run about 1500 a year depending on how actively you replace older items. In the last five years I've spent over a thousand bucks on new exhausts, 150 on bungees and bungee covers, 200 on an ignition switch, 100 on a canvas seat and 500 on a tailwheel. The annual inspection itself is about 500. My insurance is 700 a year. Fuel is no big deal - four gallons an hour. I have permission to burn auto gas, but it's almost impossible to find without ethanol, so I run Avgas anyway. I'm not sure where Jim came up with his $5000 recover number. It would cost me that much just to have somebody spray rejuvenator on my fabric. Cover and paint alone, without accounting for the cost of inspection, repair and replacement of components, is easily $20,000 or more. The materials alone cost 1500-2000. The good news is it's not something you have to do very often. Mine was covered in 1989 and it's still doing very well. If I keep it, I'll restore it within the next year or three.

This Piper Cub has a Continental A65. The airplane is a J3C65 the the “C” indicates the engine manufacturer which is a Continental and the “65 indicates the horsepower and variant of the engine. There are J3F’s and J3L’s which indicate Franklin and Lycoming engines but are more rare to see. Later on engine upgrades were offered using other continental engines like the A75 (75hp), C85 (85hp), C90 (90-95hp) and O-200 (100hp) were certified under supplemental type certificates.
