The Top Cub is available in a new variant: 4-place Cub. 4-place Cub has been designed for off airport operation with a powerful engine, strong lightweight airframe and nimble low-speed manners.
The 4-place Cub has redefined expectations for backcountry aircraft. It has taken the fundamentally superior design of the Top Cub and reinvented it using 21st Century materials and computer-aided design. Superior engineering results in the 4-place Cub having 50% fewer parts than a similarly equipped Top Cub. It can take off and land in patches that you thought were accessible only to helicopters and hikers, all while being able to take the abuse of backcountry exploration.
Performance
All variants of the 4-place Cub exhibit unmatched power to weight ratios. The 4-place Cub has no equal in takeoff and landing performance. On an average day the 4-place Cub will climb out at 2,100 feet per minute at sea level and pass through 10,000 still climbing at a staggering rate.
The power is ideally paired with the airplane's nimble handling and slow speed manners. The 4-place Cub is further benefitted by our new G-Series flaps and ailerons. The newest 4-place Cub, with even more power and a constant-speed prop, deliver the highest cruise speed and efficiency available in the Top Cub family.
- Takeoff: As short as 100 ft
- Climb: Up to 2,400+ fpm
- Cruise: 105 mph
- Land: As short as 110 ft
Safety
The 4-place Cub is inherently safer due to its extraordinarily slow stall speed. The fundamentally sound wing and vortex generators (standard) increase low-speed stability.
The strong chromoly steel fuselage surrounds occupants in a protective cage. It has been designed to generously exceed required loads. Real-world static tests using lead weights and hydraulic pressure assure the strongest structure in this class of aircraft.
