REPAIRS, RESTORATIONS & MODERN UPGRADES

The PA-18 Super Cub is an American aviation icon and the benchmark for backcountry flying. At CubCrafters, we honor that legacy while pushing the aircraft far beyond its original capabilities. Since 1980, we have been the industry leader in Super Cub innovation, repair, and restoration, developing more than 60 performance-enhancing STCs for PA-18 and similar legacy aircraft.

SUPER CUB REPAIRS & COMPLETE RESTORATIONS

CubCrafters offers everything from expert repairs to full, ground-up restorations. While a repair returns an aircraft to safe operating condition, a CubCrafters restoration transforms it, upgrading the structure, functionality, and performance well beyond the original factory design.

With over 40 years of experience, our craftsmen know every detail of the Super Cub. We use only premium materials and proven engineering solutions to deliver aircraft that are stronger, safer, stall slower, land shorter, and perform better than new, all tailored to your specific mission and preferences.

MODERN AVIONICS FOR CLASSIC AIRCRAFT

Bring your Super Cub into the modern era with a complete digital avionics upgrade. CubCrafters replaces legacy six-pack panels with a sleek, all-glass instrument panel featuring:

  • Full weather capability
  • ADS-B In and Out
  • Integrated engine monitoring
  • Comprehensive flight and airport information

The result is a cleaner cockpit, improved situational awareness, and a fully integrated, state-of-the-art avionics system, without sacrificing the character of your Super Cub.

INDUSTRY-LEADING SUPER CUB STCs

CubCrafters continues to redefine what’s possible with legacy Super Cubs. Our latest FAA-certified Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) increases the gross weight of the PA-18 Super Cub to 2,300 lbs, more than 30% above the original specification. See official CubCrafters Press Release here.

This STC combines several critical modifications into one integrated package:

  • 180 HP engine with stronger engine mount
  • Strengthened fuselage
  • New wings and landing gear
  • Vortex generators and tail strakes

It is the only FAA-approved STC that certifies a 2,300 lb gross weight for the PA-18, and it’s available exclusively from CubCrafters.
