About the Cubcrafters Nxcub
The CubCrafters NXCub is a high-performance backcountry aircraft that combines modern engineering with the classic Cub heritage. In production since 2020, the NXCub seats two in tandem configuration and is powered by a 215-horsepower engine that delivers extraordinary short takeoff and landing performance. With a cruise speed of 126 knots and a range of 520 nautical miles, it is purpose-built for accessing remote strips, gravel bars, and unimproved runways.
At a maximum takeoff weight of 2,300 lbs and burning just 9 gallons per hour, the NXCub is remarkably efficient for its capability. Variable hourly costs average around $120, with annual fixed costs near $16,000, making it one of the most affordable high-performance bush planes to own and operate. Its light weight, powerful engine, and large tundra tires give it access to terrain that most aircraft cannot reach.
The NXCub appeals to adventure-oriented pilots who want a factory-built, certified aircraft capable of true backcountry flying. It is especially popular in Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and mountain states where remote airstrips are a way of life. CubCrafters has built a devoted following with their quality craftsmanship and continuous improvements, and the NXCub represents the pinnacle of their lineup for pilots who demand maximum short-field performance in a certified airframe.

Buying a Used Cubcrafters Nxcub
Every Cubcrafters Nxcub faces a mandatory 2,000-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due — a fresh-overhaul airframe can be worth a large share of the $28,000 overhaul cost more than one approaching its limit.
What to check before buying
- Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 2,000-hour limit; this dominates resale value more than total time.
- Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records; missing logs cut value and complicate financing.
- Damage history — any prior accident, hard landing or blade strike; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
- Avionics — a glass panel vs steam gauges materially changes price.
- Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.
