The Piper Super Cub has been considered by many to be the ultimate backcountry airplane. It could land and take off where no other airplane dared go. Excellent low-speed manners, reliability and versatility assured its place in the hearts of backcounty pilots.
The Top Cub is all of that, and much, much more.
CONFIGURE YOUR CUBWe dreamed of a Cub that could reach farther, go faster and carry more than legacy technology would allow. Knowing modern materials and computer-aided engineering gave us a good shot at making these lofty goals a reality. Along the way we encountered many hurdles, one of which is the strictest and most challenging iteration of Part 23 certification to date. Satisfying all of today’s Part 23 requirements ensured this would be the safest and strongest Cub ever produced. Top Cub has a laundry list of breakthroughs. All we can say is, come fly one and see for yourself.
Installed in the high-performance Top Cub, the Lycoming O-360-C4P demonstrates a proven history of reliability, performance, and power. The 361 cubic inches fuel injected four-cylinder piston engine uses a 9.0:1 compression ratio and outputs a powerful 180/185 HP maximum is offered in a versatile design with customization options. We took advantage of these customization options and set the exact engine specifications. Together, the combined flexibility of the Top Cub two-seater airframe and the power output of the Lycoming O-360-C4P, its low weight of 270 lbs. dry, and its 2,000 hours TBO makes it the ideal engine for flying in and out of the most rugged airfields while cruising at high speed.
