The bestselling LSA in America is also the highest performance adventure aircraft in the world. Lightweight and powerful, the Carbon Cub SS has made the most challenging mountain clearings accessible. It takes off in just a few plane lengths and lands just as short. No other aircraft explores the limits of the Light Sport category more than the Carbon Cub SS. FEATURES Light Sport Our Lightest Aircraft 180 HP Award-winning STOL Performance Remarkable Fit & Finish Built and Certified in a Part 21 Facility Light Sport Most discussions about Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) seem to focus on the restrictions, like a maximum takeoff weight of 1,320 pounds, daytime flight only, a speed limit and just two seats. But talk to pilots who have flown a Carbon Cub SS and you won't hear about restrictions – you’ll hear about freedom, and the sheer fun a high-performance Cub can be. Though the Carbon Cub SS is certified in the Light Sport category, this high-performance machine thrills the most experienced flyers. Our Lightest Aircraft While the Carbon Cub was inspired by the classic Super Cub, the structural design is entirely original. We saw the Light Sport Aircraft category as an opportunity to build a significantly lighter Cub, one that every pilot would appreciate. Using contemporary computer design tools and 21st century materials, we built the next generation of Cubs with 50 percent fewer parts. It weights 250 pounds less than a similarly equipped Super Cub.
