Developed in secret over a six-year period, the CubCrafters XCub emerged on the scene June 2017 as a fully certified product ready for delivery to buyer’s who sought the ideal backcountry machine.
Though it’s a clone of the Piper Super Cub introduced to the market decades ago, the XCub is a thoroughly modern aircraft, featuring Lycoming’s 180 hp O-360 engine spinning a composite Hartzel Trailblazer constant speed prop, a combination that allows the the XCub to cruise at 145 mph at 75 percent power and offer up a useful load of 1,084 pounds while almost levitating like a helicopter on the extremely short takeoff run.
