Description

N531SL – 2022 Carbon Cub FX-3 — Low Time, IFR Capable, Backcountry Ready

This Carbon Cub FX-3 is a beautifully equipped, low-time aircraft with approximately 71 total hours and a fresh annual completed in February 2026. Powered by the fuel-injected Lycoming CC363i (186 HP) and upgraded with an 83” Hartzell constant-speed propeller, it delivers exceptional performance and reliability in the backcountry.

Outfitted with an IFR-capable Garmin panel and EarthX battery, this FX-3 blends advanced avionics with rugged capability. The aircraft features 31” ABW tundra tires, Acme Black Ops and Stinger shocks, and Beringer brakes for confident off-airport operations. A custom paint scheme, under-wing fly lights, and a thoughtfully upgraded interior — including rear seat trim, upgraded fabric seating, and Rosen sun visor make this FX-3 as refined as it is capable.

Turnkey and adventure-ready, this aircraft is equally suited for serious backcountry flying or comfortable cross-country travel.
