2018 Carbon Cub FX-3

Description

The third generation of the Carbon Cub, with a pilot-controlled constant-speed propeller and even more horsepower than the iconic Carbon Cub SS, delivers the best performance, efficiency, and speed available in the Carbon Cub family. With CubCrafters exclusive lightweight CC363i engine, the Hartzell Trailblazer propeller, a maximum gross weight of 2,000 lbs., and amazingly comfortable cockpit ergonomics & cabin heat, there simply isn’t a more versatile 2-place tandem backcountry aircraft available anywhere.
