Every day, the team at Aircraft For Sale highlights an airplane that stands out for its uniqueness, value, or intriguing features. You can catch the daily spotlight, Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick, at FLYINGMag.com. Today, we’re excited to feature a 1948 Piper PA-14 Family Cruiser. Some aircraft designs are so iconic that they leave a lasting legacy, and Piper’s J-3 Cub is a prime example. This aircraft introduced countless pilots to the pure joy of flying with its straightforward and robust design. Building on the Cub’s success, Piper developed the PA-14 Family Cruiser, which offered a wider fuselage to seat four people. Although it was only produced for a year, the PA-14 combined the Cub’s adventurous spirit with added utility, making it a rare and desirable classic.
The PA-14 we’re showcasing today takes practicality to new heights. It’s been extensively modified for bush flying, featuring a more powerful engine that enhances its capabilities. This particular model is perfect for a pilot seeking a classic taildragger that offers unmatched versatility for both land and water adventures. With 11,117 hours on the airframe and 749 hours since a major overhaul on its 160 hp Lycoming O-320-A2B engine, this 1948 Piper PA-14 is ready for its next chapter. It boasts PA-18 landing gear with 26-inch Goodyear tires, seaplane doors on both sides, extended baggage, and wings, plus a set of EDO 2000 floats. The VFR panel is equipped with a Garmin Aera 500 GPS, a King KY-92 com radio, and an Artex 345 ELT.
For those in the market for a rare and highly capable classic aircraft, this 1948 Piper PA-14 Family Cruiser is available for $100,000 on AircraftForSale.
