Simply the best Cub kit available.
- Nearly 200 pounds lighter and much stronger than an equivalent Super Cub.
- Half the parts of a Super Cub means half the build time. Ready to cover in as few as 200 hours.
- Compatible with engines up to 180 horsepower (!) while still qualifying as a Light Sport.*
- Fuselage is four inches wider and the door is 50% larger for significantly increased comfort.
- Absolutely complete airframe kit, including every necessary nut, bolt and washer. Complete with covering material.
- An excellent choice for the first-time builder.
CubCrafters has received notification from the Federal Aviation Administration that their National Kit Evaluation Team had completed
its evaluation of CubCrafters' Carbon Cub EX amateur-built aircraft kit.
Completion of this process means the FAA has evaluated the Carbon Cub EX and that the aircraft has been added to the list of
eligible Amateur-Built Aircraft Kits on the
FAA website. The list is provided as a service to prospective builders researching
kit options.
*The builder is legal to fly the Carbon Cub EX as a "Light Sport" pilot as long as the kit is
certified at a maximum weight of 1,320 lbs. Our kit was tested to ASTM standards at a gross weight
of 1,865 lbs. If you decide to set the gross weight at 1,865 lbs, you will not be allowed to
fly as a "Light Sport" pilot; and you will need a medical and a private pilots license.
A gross weight limit of 1,320 lbs on wheels or 1,430 lbs on floats applies to all LSA aircraft.
