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.

Unmatched Takeoff and Landing Performance

The Carbon Cub has an unmatched power to weight ratio giving it no equal in takeoff and landing performance. On an average day Carbon Cub will climb out at 2,100 feet per minute and pass through 10,000 climbing at 1,100 feet per minute.

This power is ideally paired with the airplane's nimble handling and slow speed manners. Whether flying around the patch, camping or remote wilderness excursions, the Carbon Cub always delivers.
