A 2023 American Legend Aircraft AL18 MOAC is AircraftForSale's daily top pick. According to the publication, the selection goes to aircraft it considers unique or a good deal.
The AL18 MOAC stands for "Mother of All Cubs." It is a modern take on the Piper Cub, built with contemporary materials and systems. A 195 hp Titan IOX370 engine and Bushwheels are meant to improve backcountry performance, and the wing has slats. The suspension is described as state-of-the-art, and modern avionics are installed.
The listing puts the airframe at 220 hours. According to the article, the MOAC can lift off after a ground roll of about 100 feet. It is for pilots who want more than the basic factory specifications of earlier Cubs.
The article notes that the original Cub design appeals because it offers a vintage aircraft experience, with all its strengths and weaknesses to manage. Modern versions with more power and updated systems give pilots seeking greater capability another option.
