XCub checks every box on an adventure Pilot’s wish list: remarkable STOL performance, generous useful load, class defining speed and cross-country range. Yet XCub surrounds both pilot and passenger with comfort and convenience. The pilot experience at the controls is intuitive and satisfying. Cockpit ergonomics are thoughtfully executed. Control inputs are rewarded with a precisely smooth, tactile feel and superb control harmony. XCub is built on a wholly original fuselage design. The CNC milled 4130 chromoly steel frame meets the latest FAA Part 23 certification standards for 2,300 lb gross weight aircraft. XCub's useful load is as high as 1,084 lbs. Today’s Part 23 certification requirements ensure this is the strongest Cub ever produced. The G-Series ailerons improve handling in all aspects of the flight envelope. The roll authority of the XCub has been improved by redesigning the aileron airfoil and relocating the hinge point. Innovative push-rod aileron controls directly affect roll, replacing cables and pulleys. Cable stretch is eliminated, and pilots experience a smooth, tactile feel. CubCrafters' G-Series ailerons deliver markedly lighter and crisper roll response compared to legacy aircraft. Roll rate is increased and control harmony is even better. The new G Series controls paired with push rod ailerons is truly something that has to be experienced. Following a river, carving turns at tree top level will never be the same again. XCub is a flexible platform which adventure pilots may configure to fulfill different missions. The legacy bungee gear harks to the classic Super Cub. Our new, aerodynamic aluminum spring gear adds up to 14 mph at 75% power cruise,
