CubCrafters Carbon Cub FX3 for Sale — The Ultimate Factory-Built Bush Plane
The CubCrafters Carbon Cub FX3 is the pinnacle of factory-built light sport backcountry aircraft — a machine that takes the legendary Piper Cub formula and rebuilds it with 21st-century materials, engine technology, and manufacturing quality to create an aircraft whose performance characteristics leave the original Cub's capabilities far behind. Where the original J-3 Cub relied on a modest 65-horsepower Continental to achieve its legendary short-field performance through low weight and high lift, the Carbon Cub FX3 pairs Cub-derived aerodynamics and construction philosophy with the CubCrafters CC393i engine producing 180 horsepower — a power-to-weight ratio that delivers takeoff performance and climb rates that pilots accustomed to conventional light aircraft find genuinely astonishing.
What the FX3 Delivers
The Carbon Cub FX3's published takeoff roll at sea level is under 100 feet — a number that opens landing zones inaccessible to virtually any other certified aircraft. Carbon fiber spars and selective use of composite materials throughout the airframe keep weight at LSA-eligible levels while structural integrity exceeds conventional aluminum construction for the demanding loads of rough-field operations. The CubCrafters CC393i engine with electronic ignition and fuel injection delivers power consistency across altitude ranges that carbureted engines cannot match. Extended fuel tanks provide range appropriate for remote backcountry missions.
