Cubcrafters Carbon Cub Aircraft
The CubCrafters Carbon Cub is the modern STOL icon — a Cub-shaped two-seater rebuilt with carbon-fibre and modern materials to be light (often under 1,000 lb empty) yet powerful (~180 hp), delivering short-field takeoff and landing numbers measured in feet, not hundreds of feet. Available as the Carbon Cub SS (Light Sport), the FX (factory-assist kit) and the EX (experimental kit), it is the benchmark backcountry and STOL-competition machine.
